Woke up just after 2 am. That was it for me. I was awake for the day. Watched tv, crosswords and some internet. All of a sudden it was time to head down for our breakfast. A wee snack. Packed the bag and left. Headed down to Fairhaven for our last days work.


Worked like mad all day. Well not as mad as during the week. Mallet came and loaded up all the garbage.


I decided that I would go and see my favorite Spaniard so we headed over to the "Colophon Cafe" for lunch. 




The Mallet and I ate there.  Gene, Nick and Lon headed over for fish and chips.

We got the job finished up after lunch. Packed up my tools ladders ect, and left Fairhaven for now.




I decided to take the slower road home so off down Chuckanut Drive I go. http://www.chuckanutdrive.com/  It is a nice scenic road. I stop off along the way at the Larrabee State Park and a few other lookouts along the way.






I get home in good time. I catch Barry and Joyce before I leave. Evginni called me up to come over for dinner later.

That's part one of the day. Part two will come later. 

Part Two

Went out to Araya's for dinner when the good woman came home. When we got back I got ready and headed over to the Ruskies for dinner. James was there too. The Russian Natasha was also there. Ate dinner again and had a good chat.
We watched the movie "K-PAX" on dvd. 


I had seen it before and liked it. Now the second time I still liked it.
Back home now sleepy with a full stomach.

 After breakfast I headed over to Home Depot for supplies. Headed down to Fairhaven.


Gene was up to paint. Got Nick and Lon going on the odds and ends. We worked, well I worked like a slave up to lunch. Gene and I headed over to "Skylarks"


Back to work and finished out the day running up to the Home Depot. Met back at the hotel and got Gene his room.
Relaxed a bit and Gene and I headed over to "Espinoza's" for dinner. They all know me here now. Feck. Ate a good snack and then we headed down to Boulevard Park for a walk around. We walked along for a long time.










Back the back way to the Days Inn. 

Oh and my friend sent me a funny article yesterday.

Appease Sky God? Airline Sacrifices Goats

 Got up and got ready for the day. Called Kim to wake him up. We went down for breakfast. Then off to the job. Got Kim and Nick going on the South and East side. Lon and I focused on the West side. 
Kim and I went to The Colophon Cafe for lunch. Talked to the nice Spaniard there. She was jolly.




Old Dan was having a bit of sun.


After lunch we finished up all the put back of the building. Lon and I then caulked the West and North side. The lads went back to the hotel. Kim headed for Seattle. I locked up and left. Another long day on the books.
I stopped off to see Cara at the Haggen on the way home. I had veggies, brown rice and spring rolls for dinner and yogurt pretzels for dinner. Relaxing now in 315.
News of the day


 

 Up and out the door. Picked Nick up at the Everett Mall. We made our way up to Fairhaven to continue out put back of the building.


 Kim, Lon and Nich on hand to help. God a lot more done before lunch. Headed over to Alisa at "Starblarks"


Talked to my mother today. The professor at the hospital said everything was looking good and she may not need surgery. She was so happy and said that I need not come home. I think there is more to whats going on than she knows. Finished out the day and took a quick stroll through town.


Dan was still keeping an eye on everything.


Up to the Days Inn to check in. Christi was there to give us our keys. I'm now in room 315.
Kim and I headed up to the Regal cinema to see the movie "War"


Not great but had a moment or two.
Stopped off at "Espinoza's" for dinner. Ate like mad and went home to 315. 

News of the day.

 Met a nice couple from Vancouver WA. at the buffet in the hotel here. Their daughter is going to college up hear. I sent the fellows down to the job while I went to Home Depot for a few supplies. Headed back down to Fairhaven.

Got to the job and we started working on the roof. Got it all back together up there. The Mallet showed up with the main bulk of supplies on the new truck. 
Mallet and I headed over to "Skylarks" for lunch. 
Back to work and started unloading the truck. The fellows showed up and we got a human chain and stocked the siding on the scaffolding. Put all the other supplies around the job. Then loaded up Mallet with the garbage to date. Off he goes. We start on the West side of the building and put all the paper and some of the trim on. Finish up later than usual to get to a good finishing point.
Back to 307 at the Days Inn. Shower and head down to Haggen to buy some drinks.


I talk with the good Cara there for a wee bit. She is my tour guide now. 
I then decide I would find somewhere for dinner. I go over to a Mexican place called "Espinoza"


Inside they have a veggie menu. Perfect.




The waitress starts me off with a bean and cheese nacho plate. Been a spud farmer from Ireland I get the "Idaho Burrito" Then I head over to their chip and salsa bar and stock up.
My burrito is good. Down it goes and the good waitress comes along with a nice dessert.
This is a well run restaurant. I would recommend it to all.


Back to 307 and now I will either pack or relax.

Up early. On goes the tea. I watch the movie "Snakes On A Plane" on HBO.


Well since it was on at 4am I decided to watch it through. I think it may have been a bad move for Samuel Jacksons career. Good enough movie to mock a killer B.

Met the gang downstairs at 7:30. We chatted for a bit. Met Lon's Tracey. Nicks Jamie was there too. Off to the Fairhaven we go.


Worked like mad until lunch. Today I went up to the other Haggen foods for lunch. Ate lunch with there Valerie and Brice. 
Back to work and worked long beyond the usual finishing time so we could get all the openings done. Finished up the day and headed back to the hotel. I was beat down from the heat all day. Today was long and hot. Speaking about long and hot I spent a few minutes looking at two bees in a mating ritual on the window. I think I have been away from the good woman too long.
Now I will rest up for a bit.

Didn't sleep much. Headed down for the bagel and tea. Got ready and off I go to the ole job site. I'm there early so I go and see hoe Fairhaven is doing today.


The kids are still painting.


The phone booth is still unoccupied.


Dan is still watching over the park.


Other than that the town is dead.


Back to the job.




Worked on the East side all day. Went over to "Skylarks" for lunch.


I picked up my sunglasses from the girl there. We had to wait a bit too long for our lunch. They were packed.
Back to work and finished out the day on the roof. 
Said our goodbyes to all and off we go. I decide I would stop off at Western Washington University and walk the campus on the way home.
A lot of nice sculptors and art I see there. Here are some.



































































I am feeling a wee hungry so I fly away from the campus.


I head back down the hill to the Haggen market. I pop in to see Cara. She is not here. I buy my dinner and a case of water. Back to the Days Inn. I talk with Christi for a bit. Up to 307 and eat my dinner. I then have a gwal of tea.

Up early and on the road. Picked Nick up at Everett Mall. We got to Fairhaven. Got there early so I walked around for a wee bit.








Marty showed up with Daryl from J2, Lon showed up to help us. Kyle from the Law Firm showed up too. Followed by Valerie from her office and Brice from his. We started working on the building doing various openings.




 Worked hard until lunch.
We went down to "Skylarks" 

I left my sunglasses on the table. I will retrieve them at a later date.

Back to work and finished out the day wrapping the building in a plastic temp.
Up to the Days Inn. We checked in with Christie. I went to room 107.

Went down to haagen Foods for dinner and provisions. The good Cara down there signed me up for a money saving card. I had a wee chat with her and left. She was nice. 
Ate my Chinese dinner in 107.
Headed down for a swim to the pool. It is an outside pool and it was colder than I liked. No harm I swam anyway.
