Doctor Wang

    Went to see Doctor Wang at the University of Washington Medical Center's Surgery Pavilion on the Montlake Cut. I have come to appreciate Duane for his wry and dry yet boyish style. He said I could sit but not hot tub or bike for maybe two more months which is fine for the hot tub if not so fine for the bike as it is the beginning of the Fall.

    The doctor demurred at my request for an oxy refill, but offered Tramadol to blunt my despair. On checking out this Tramadol however, I was able to rally when I saw that it was comparable to codeine.

    Otherwise there was only the hospital cafeteria lunch where I found the sweet potato tostado decent.

    Later Skip and I walked the dead end of 6th and the rough path to 3rd and enjoyed an informative conversation with Big Shanti.

    Sadly R reports interpersonal trauma on her travels on the Kenai Peninsula. Way up there it could be worse: it could be interspecies trauma - 🐻's.

          Trash day always a bit of a fright as the truck rolls by around 6:45 like it might want to snatch your can but doesn't until maybe 11 or 1 or 9. Like the guy said when asked a while ago, "We just don't know when, where or how much". It's just garbage.      S went off for an allergy assessment in Everett as well as a booster and a thorough vacuuming of the Subaru with a short foray into Costco, but not to wrangle my Rapaflo pee amplifier, rather for cheese.      For my part I poured 4 gallons of hot water and detergent down into the black and gray water tanks, drained the fresh water and sloshed my way over to Les Schwab to have them check the crack in the front right aluminum  wheel. Other than to say that if it failed I was fucked the guy there couldn't help.      Texted up B and went for a walk for the update on the bike tour which was challenging and was he glad to be home. He feels he may well buy a scooter so he and his partner (who already has

tuesday and wednesday

on the trail of the village water line R exits ferry with dog (hidden)      Another rondelay to Freeland and beyond for a cartridge and then the next day a ham hock. The cartridge was for S and the ham hock for the Romanian pork and bean soup which was a lot of trouble and tasted like pork and bean soup although the caraway seeds added something different. Tuesday there was supper at Dean and Mary's house out Saratoga. Wednesday there was a dinner here at home with Bruce and Deon at which the Romanian soup was served. Both those events were relaxed and chatty.      R brought Marbles over on the boat for a handoff as she prepared to fly to New York for the wedding of Maxwell formerly of the Huff Post days.      There was at least a good walk on Tuesday up cemetery and down to commons for a cheddar and jalapeno bagel in which D and I rediscovered Jay's wetland project back of the old middle school field and D got into some deep black swamp mud, but I was able to commandeer the h

R comes up

  Young D S swam as always. R came for the meeting following the young man's hanging. I bought and stickered twice as many 1x6's as I needed due to a flat out dumbness. S and I retrieved R at her request to be safe and sure and spoke to Sarah in the dark on the street. There was a lot of caramel corn and peach twisters on the ride home. D and Marbles continued to mouth wrestle throughout the day and into the night.
