Re: weekend plans
We get the keys to our new place Friday morning. New fridge being delivered that afternoon, and hopefully our rented furniture as well - still working to line that up. The in laws will drive down with some of our stuff we’ve been storing at their place, along with some dishes and cutlery to use til all our stuff arrives in a couple months, either Friday or Saturday. Then probably Saturday I’ll make a couple runs to our current unit to move what little we have here.
Hopefully some time to explore and enjoy our new hood too, but we’ll see.

Weekend with a bunch of friends at a cabin near Cle Elum.

I will surely get drunk and spout off what a shit choice we have both for WA governor and US president this year. All these people vote D down the ticket no matter what.

Re: weekend plans
Mrs Wease out of town starting tomorrow. Sat, will take the Weaselings to see a matinee screening of Deadpool. Probably try to mow if it doesn’t rain. It’s rained practically every day since the last mow and the grass is already taller than 2 of the 3 dogs.
