Yes, I regularly pickup trash along with our Rotary Club every Spring and Fall.  This year we upgraded our gear to iridescent green, and I took along my GAIA GPS app and tracked the mileage and elevation gain/loss.  My Rotary partner and I managed to get in 3.5 miles and a track that looks like a drunken sailor.  Elevation gain was a surprising 1,542 feet up and same amount down.

More on the fun side was helping Mike Taylor install his Murphy bed and IKEA cabinets in his newly constructed “man cave”.  Layout is real similar to our sewing/guest room.  His was about half the price since we found the Murphy bed kit online and used IKEA cabinetry. I’m eager to see it tricked out once he moves in.

The HIghlander always demands our time in the summer and this week it was a failed flashing seal on the roof access that was allowing heavy rains to slip down it’s sides.  In true tg fashion (“If it’s worth doing, it’s worth over-doing”) there are now three more layers around that box.

All this before we headed out to expand the kitchen for Erica in Portland.  Projects that you can get done in a day’s time are always satisfying.
