Day 443 Trekking?

24th October Wednesday

This was a day of two halves. The morning consisted of making more progress on the radio cabinet. Kelli is already contacting people who missed out on the previous example, so I need to finish it before I head back to England.

Next, it was in the truck and off on the errand trip. We stopped off at the county clerk to get an official copy of the marriage licence complete with an embossed seal, something that makes the paper worth the fifteen bucks they extracted from me.

Then it was off to our favourite place, Goodwill. Kelli had some things to donate, an unusual event, but we also walked round to check out what was on offer. Stuck around the back was a Caper task chair, and it was only four dollars. It was almost unmarked, meaning that the person who bought it had such a fat arse they could’n fit into it. Anyway I snapped that up, and Kelli posted it straight away on Marketplace. Those finds are rare especially if nobody knows the true value, so I always look out.

We then drove to Zeeland to pick up a tall dresser, this is a quick facelift job, so hopefully this can be ready by the weekend.

The evening ended with yet another binge of Star Trek Voyager. Every night since I got here we have watched two, three or even four episodes, and they keep coming. It is like new stories are written, and made everyday, for us. I feel like I am part of the story, I know my way around the ship, but I haven’t yet found the bathrooms. You would think that at some time someone would want to use the facilities. I wait for a time when someone, during a battle with the Klingons has to go for a piss, or utter those immortal lines ” Captain, that stew we had last night has given me the trots, but not as we know it”
