Day 50 Tuesday June 2
I took the day off, sort of. Fixed the vibrated loose range top in the trailer. Put some grease in the wheel bearing. Went for a walk to the library. Read some on my book.
Day 51 Wednesday June 3
Helped Daniel so some work on this driveway. He is removing some broken pieces and resealing the joints.
Day 52 Thursday June 4
I stayed home and finished getting the drive and garage floor ready to patch with driveway patch.
Spent some time reading my book.
Day 53 Friday June 5
Daniel and I got all the concrete repair work done. Looks pretty good. Went to a concrete place and got the stuff to seal the long cracks and to seal the whole drive to prevent future freeze/thaw damage. Weather very nice. Not too hot but sunny.
Day 54 Saturday June 6
Daniel made some special waffles for breakfast. Yum. Then we went to the farmer's market. Thanh Tu got to go sit in a fire truck and in an ambulance. He was nervous but enjoyed seeing his pictures afterwards. After lunch Daniel and I went to ACE hardware to buy the rest of the stuff to finish the driveway and garage floor.
Day 55 Sunday June 7
We wanted to go to an Amish furnature store but it was closed so we went to a park along the Little Miami River. After a short want Daniel, Thanh Tu and I went down to the river dodging stinging nettles and poison oak. We spend quite a while throwing rocks in the water. Great fun watching Thanh Tu. Daniel and I later did some seam sealing of the concrete in the garage. He used the self-leveling caulk and it worked well. We had a little scare when Thanh Nha rolled off the couch onto the floor. All is well.
Day 56 Monday June 8
Worked on the driveway preparing it for caulking the seams.
Day 57 Tuesday June 9
I caulked the rest of the seams of the driveway. Had to go to the store and buy a few more tubes of caulk. The big cracks took al lot more than we thought even with the foam backing put in. Did the very small cracks in the garage too.
Day 58 Wednesday June 10
Raining in the morning. I went with Daniel, MT and the kids into work. I played around campus. Got some cash, traded a Cincinnati shirt I bought for a larger size. At lunch at the student union building. Later I went back to Daniel's lab and we met Minh Thanh and went to the movie theater to see the new Star Trek. We thought the movie was good being Trekkie fans.
Day 59 Thursday June 11
After breakfast, worked to clean the heavy oil and grease stains off the garage floor. Came out pretty good but some remained in the pores and was not easy to get out. Went and got a haircut. Ahhhh. Feels good. After lunch, washed out part of the garage floor and did a quick wash of the trailer and truck.. Saw a baby deer and it's mom in the back yard. They were spooky so did not get a good picture. Also the fireflies were out last night. They were fun to watch as I had not seen any for a while.
Day 60 Friday June 12
Daniel stayed home today. We, he, sealed the garage floor. We fixed a crack under the front door where the concrete porch has settled. The end result looks very good. We dug out an obnoxious bush. While we were working the fawn, same one I saw yesterday, I think, came into the front yard not more than twenty feet away. Cute little bugger. First one Daniel has seen at his house. Daniel and Minh Thanh and baby Thanh Nha went to a taping of "Prairie Home Companion" at the place on the Ohio River. I baby sat Thanh Tu who was a very good boy. No trouble.
Day 61 Saturday June 13
Minh Thanh, Thanh Tu, Thanh Nha and I went to the farmers market. Daniel went back to bed as he has a cold and sore throat. We just hung out the rest of the day. Thanh Tu went in the hot tub which Daniel was draining for a repair. He really enjoyed himself and was not afraid and looks like he would be ready for swim lessons. We saw the baby dear again. So cute.
Day 62 Sunday June 4 Happy Flag Day
After oatmeal waffles Daniel, Thanh Tu and I went to the local park to play. Loaded the trailer for leaving in the morning. After lunch, Daniel and I put stuff back in the garage. Saw the baby deer again. Minh Thanh made superb "spring rolls" for dinner. Yummmm. Took some group pictures.
