We stayed with Jake up at the cabin after we left the Corvette down town at the vehicle storage where he keeps his Fairlane. We had planned to install a double door that Jake found on Second Cup of Coffee. It’ like the want ads on the radio. Someone had them custom made and then never used them! They are brand new, solid fir with full glass in both. We needed a shorter than standard door to be able to open in. He paid maybe a fifth of what they are worth. Thank You God! Turns out we needed some more lumber to frame in the hole we needed to cut in the wall. We decided to get ‘er done after church on Sunday. It took a while, but things went well and what difference it makes! It was too late to take off, so we stayed Sunday night as well.
Since Jake was our ride to the car, we got up with him at 4:15 AM this morning. (Not used to that!) We ate breakfast in Wenatchee and headed South to the Tri-cities and onto Pendleton, Oregon. We toured the woolen mills and had a pleasant lunch in town. We still want to visit Hamley & Company;”displaying the best examples of custom saddles, horse tack and western wear” this side of the Pecos! Can’t miss that! Then it’s over the Blue Mountains and South through Boise and maybe as far as Salt Lake City tomorrow. It doesn’t look that far on the map. We’ll see. Much more to come!
