Wife and I both have some "use or lose" time. Between remodeling and prepping for winter (raking leaves from the neighbors tree), etc, we haven't had much time. Well, we finished the Main bathroom and have a month to demo the Master bath, so we took a couple of days to head out of town.
First, Saturday before we left, I got an e-mail from Gastroenterology. They took 9 biopsies during my colonoscopy and endoscopy. All but one were benign; the remaining one was cancerous but they got it all when they took the polyp.
All day drive through snow and rain to Bend, OR. Wife had asked to go back to the High Desert Museum there. Museum was fantastic! Bend==much less so. Had a great motel: The Cascade Lodge=reasonable price, great managers (they were from India). Bend was a transplanted piece of SoCal, especially Irvine==all strip malls, fast food, tire companies, big box stores, etc. No "spirit" or class at all!
Found a couple of things at the outlet mall. Tires were not holding as well as I would like in the snow, so we bought a new set when we got back. Shopping around saved me about $200.
Then, our big GSP is about 13 or so. He's covered in fat tumors and has been off his feed for a week or so. We figured it was down to a few days left for the guy. Wife took him in while I got the tires. Dr.'s report is he's pretty good shape. Lost some weight (we've had him on a diet=he was 120 lbs!), heart and lungs good, a little arthritis in his hips (wife and I got at least that much). Only one tumor to look at that may not be a fat tumor.
1. Ran a couple of loads to the dump from remodeling.
2. A friend gave us a brand new (in the box) toilet for the downstairs bath (#3 on our list of "to do's").
3. I also made 6 pies=2 blackberry and 4 green apple.
4. Canned 8 quarts of spaghetti sauce and 4 quarts of hot sauce.
All in all, one of the better weekends of the year!
