We seemed to have fallen into projects at Grandma Darlings house on our first full day this week. Grandma has a new underground sprinkler system, and the neighbor that installed it did a rather rural installation for her. My Brother in-law Roger, buried the lines, and reworked all the plumbing to get it functioning, and I spent 1 1/2 days reinstalling the wiring. We should have just installed the system ourselves, and not had the neighbor involved at all, because nothing was done to code.
Anne-Marie and I have eaten breakfast at Waffles Caffe two of four mornings here in Yakima, and it is a treat for us to have a restaurant within walking distance of the trailer.
A wide picture of our house in Yakima. We are within two miles of Grandma Darlings house, and once we leave the trailer in the morning, we are busy till after dark.
Yesterday, Grandma Darling, Anne-Marie and I drove to Ellensburg Washington to meet my cousin Bud Bunger for lunch. Bud drives a truck, and arranged his schedule for lunch on his drive through. We had a nice visit, catching up with family, where they are and what all are doing.
We drove through the Yakima River Canyon on the way home, and Anne-Marie spotted this group of big horn sheep across the river, as we were driving. It looks to be about seven sheep in the group, and they stayed in this little open area during our stop. The wide picture shows a bend in the river, and the sheep are just left of center. We saw several fishermen with drift boats on the river, and near the end of the canyon was a resort, with boat rentals and guide service.
Today I hope to complete the brake project on the trailer, as I have purchased brake pads for the remaining wheels. Once I get started, I think that the project should only take a few hours.
