My day began with a
dental hygenist, it is my turn
for clean teeth. We had an appointment
for Abby to get groomed but the groomer
cancelled. Gwen and I took Abby to the
Tractor Supply Company to use their
pet wash station for $9.99. The rest of
the afternoon I used to finalize the
StoryWorth project my daughter gave to
me. I finished that in time to ride Zwift
for an hour with the Virtual Velo group.

Today was the first real rain in
four months and welcome. My morning began
with a Zwift ride since everything was wet.
Then I watched Oregon State Beavers destroy
Idaho in football. That's when we learned
Gwen's son Dave and Brook were on
there way to visit and shop. We met them
at Costco and then for dinner. We spent
all afternoon and evening with them.
Later I watched Oregon Ducks embarass Stoney
Brook. Finally I watched UCLA have trouble with
Fresno State football.

and Abby day. I took Abby to
the back forty twice with

Gwen had a dentist appointment
so I took over her morning dog walking
job with Joan in the back 40. Then breakfast
for me followed by a 29 mile bike ride. I completed
the repair of an entry step just in time
to turn on Thursday night football to see
Washington beat New York Giants in
the last second. Good game from both teams.

Most important part of
the day was the pressure
washing of the pipe beneath
the toilet leading to the black
water holding tank. I had to go thru
the bathroom window with the pressure
nozzle and carefully spray through the toilet.
Gwen is happy now that the pipe is clean.

This was a day of football,
tennis and dinner with a
friend. We saw the LA Chargers
beat Washington. Then we saw Daniil
Medvedev beat Novak Djokovic in the
US Open Tennis final. In late afternoon
I drove to Richard's house, a hiking buddy,
for a small party of friends for dinner. I
forgot my phone so no photos.

My day began with a short
19 mile bike ride around what
I call The Rochester Bridge Loop.
The Gwen wanted to visit Costco
in Roseburg. While there, we returned
recycle, picked up our favorite almond
milk on sale at Safeway. I had a special
bolt I needed to make the new bike rack
work so I visited the best nut and bolt hardware
store in all of Oregon. I found exactly what I
was looking for. We returned home just in
time to fix dinner.
