I was up shortly after six. My back was messed up, lower left back pain. Taylor got up before seven and we took off to walk Heiny. We went to the campground off Bloomfield Rd out by Grandpa’s. We walked in on the road to checkout the campground. Pretty nice! Not too many spots. Not too close together. Some cool digging’s to check out and the trail to the Kennebek creek takes off right from the campground. There was another trail going off the back of one of the campsites but we didn’t check that one out.
After poking around the campground we hiked down to Kennebeck creek to check out the waterfall. It was pretty icy and my back was killing me so I kinda hobbled around gingerly. Taylor is a gazelle and moves around like he belongs there.
Taylor climbed to a ledge on the creek where some pig had been camping. Trash everywhere on a beautiful, flay site right on the creek. We talked about bringing in a tase bag next time. We messed around a bit and then hiked out.
Back at Sunrise Pammie was up and had already made herself an egg c’breakfast thang. Taylor and I got out some bread I made for Christmas dinner and made a couple egg sandwiches. We all talked over the day. A blade had flown off the kitchen ceiling fan the day before and we needed a ladder to fix it so Pam and I planned to take Taylor’s truck into town to get a ladder and do a few errands.
Pam and I took off mid-morning. Taylor hangout st Sunrise. We went to Ace HW and got some supplies and a ladder. We gassed up the truck at Robinson’s and then tried to go to the ReStore but Pam found they were closed. We went to Goodwill. The truck had been warning me with a beeper at Ace and a few other stops that I had been leaving the lights on but I was unaware. At Goodwill, the battery died so when Pammie came out it wouldn’t start. I called AAA and they said it would be an hour b4 service. I went into Goodwill and some nice lady came out and jumped us.
We headed back to the ridge after picking up a six pack at the Rainbow store. Taylor was out working when we got back. We had some lunch and then got to work doing some chores. Taylor cleaned the kitchen ceiling fan and the skylight in the kitchen. I took the ladder outside and cleaned off the roof over the laundry room and our bedroom. Cleaned the gutters a bit and cleaned off the outside of the kitchen skylight and some windows on Taylor’s room.
We did a Zoom with Russ, Katie, Chris and Taylor at 5. It was awesome to be talking with them from the living room of Sunrise. The internet is shitty, though. I’m going to spring for the better Viasat service, I guess. $160 a month! Fahk!
Taylor came back from seeing a friend up on the 20. We hung out a bit. Goofed round a bit. Taylor got Canyon’s cat clock going finally and then Pammie and I went to bed around 9:30.
