I moved the pads, sent the bondout and did the paperwork. This chip is all but done. I worked half a day. Good news (?), my replacement is off to training for most of the week. I can work with minimal interruption… except that I’m pretty much done.
The evening plan was to go to a free movie preview. My friend Ray and I went, but we almost didn’t make it. His scheduled bus broke down and a replacement bus wasn’t coming for an hour and a half (he rides the bus to work every day). If we were to watch the movie, I’d have to go pick him up first, so off I went. Well, I live at the bottom of the Bay on the east side, Ray works near Stanford, and our free movie was in South San Jose. I wound up driving an 80 mile loop. When we got to the theater, only one ticket was available rather than two. Fortunately, we found a guy with another spare. We went downstairs to eat, and just as we were finishing, we got a call – the line was going in and our tickets with it! We ran upstairs and found our folks just as they were getting to the front of the line. Such a close call! The thing is, they let the line in an hour and a half early. This never happens, but I guess they had a long enough line and they wanted to deny any late comers entrance. The theater wasn’t really full, but sitting sure beats standing in line.
Over the weekend, Ray also got a new pellet gun so that he might shoot squirrels and pigeons off a friend’s property. He and I decided to get the gun sighted. Usually, we would go to our friend’s (close) uphill property, where you’re allowed to shoot, but they weren’t home. I got the idea of calling another friend who lives way, way up in the hills. He was home and welcomed the company. Since it was a long and curvy ride there, we took the yellow car. It was a fun ride! We spent the evening shooting targets. What a great way to cap off a weekend!
Day 141 mood: Happy and relaxed.
