​We had a pleasant drive through Oregon and Washington. Of course, the worst – and only back-up was on I-5 at the Tacoma Dome. All those years and all those dollars of construction and the traffic is still horrible there. Arrived in Medina in late afternoon.

Hank woke up with a sore throat and fatigue grew throughout the day. He thought he might have come down with COVID again, but tests and time proved otherwise. He got a lot of chores done and hit the sack early in order to catch a 6 am – washing Madeline’s car and topping it off, dropping winter clothes from the trailer in the garage, shopping for chicken soup and cold meds.
