Shout out to…

The Gadget! (and nebel of course). On Friday’s update I said I was driving to Portland on Saturday to pick up Seeley. Nebel read it and realized he was driving to Seattle on Saturday and BAM Nebel and Seeley came up together in the Subaru and saved me 6 hours of driving. That was even after I talked to him on the phone and didn’t put the two together myself. So you see, Gadgets, although slow (and dangerous behind the wheel) can still serve a purpose!

Lately I’m thinking…

Had a great weekend in the city of Seattle, where I live. Went to the mariners game on Friday night and in addition to not getting kicked out, got to play some ladder ball in the sun at pyramid beforehand, because for some reason out of the 100s of people there nobody was already playing it. bonus. On a side note the sun and heat are awesome outside, but not so bueno inside

This is really interesting…

I had $5 this weekend, and knew that was the exact number because I had tried to buy something for $8.99, and then something else for $5.99 and didn’t have any luck either time. Then I was walking Seeley on Sunday and stumbled upon a garage sale that had a bike. Steph and I have really wanted a bike for 3 reasons: A)It seems like we end up with a total of 3 people at our house fairly often, and so one person has to walk while the other two are on a tandem. B)There are times just one of us wants to take bike somewhere, but it’s pretty embarrasing to be on a tandem by yourself. C) It’s a pain to lift the tandem up from the side of the house for quick rides because it weighs 189 pounds. Anyways, I asked the lady how much it was and she said $5! I was so excited I didn’t even know what to do. She then double checked with her husband (his bike) and he said it was $8. I said I could give them 5 now and try to get the other 3 dollars in a week or so, so they sold it for 5! So Seeley and I rode our new friend “Calamity Jane” home.  BTW apparently the tandem is named “the closer”.  And also I now have $0 for the rest of the month

The Soapbox:

I caught a Filling Station water bottle (seen in picture) at the 4th of July parade. Probably the biggest thing I’ve ever won
