7-13-17... My trip to REI

The only pictures I took today were at REI.  I returned my tent after work today.  This makes me very sad.  I loved that tent, until the windows half fell out last weekend.  Good things include that it happened as I packed it up to go in a car and not into a backpack in the middle of the woods, and that the people at REI were so nice about taking it back.  It was purchased last September and I got back every thing but the dividends I earned from the purchase of the tent and that is certainly fair and reasonable.

So the 2 sleeping pads I want to research looked like the next 2 pictures:

I didn't take the time to talk to anyone at the store, this was just by first looks and touch.  Research will happen after the house is empty.  I'll be needing a different tent now too it seems... The other thing I quickly snapped a shot of is a solar panel:

This, and comparable items, I may research before I go on vacation in a few weeks.  

If the weather is dry tomorrow, I plan to put a few things on the lawn with a free sign.  More stuff left the house today and I got a few things moved around.  Tomorrow my daughter and Gideon will be here and as long as work doesn't call, I think we can be very productive.  My cousin may come by as well.

A friend came by for a quick visit today.  He showed me how to fix my faucet.  Someone took the time to take it apart a few weeks ago for me but I still don't have the kit to fix it.  If I am able to get up and out of the house early enough tomorrow that will get fixed too.  This brings me to my happy of the day which is the assistance of friends and family that I have been blessed with.  I am so grateful for all the generosity.
