10/05 Short Version

We had lunch with Shabbir & Ruquyi at Kabob Korner. Check back later for details.

While Kai had Persian tea with lunch, there was not enough caffeine for him so we stopped at The Muse for him to get his fix.

Unfortunately that stop meant we missed seeing Gary when we dropped in at Z Sport where Kai gets his car serviced; but we did get to visit with his son Chuck who is now running the business. 

We stopped at Value Village to pick up a small rolling suitcase since I am allowed 2 bags for free; I am pretty sure I will not be able to pack all the omiyage in to my  large suitcase & still stay under the 50 pound weight limit.

We had dinner with Bo & Barbara at Fisherman Jack's.

Then we headed to Renton to cousin Karen's house since the ferry 'sick out' made the sailing schedule unpredictable for a trip to Bainbridge Island to spend the night at cousin Tomiko's house.

Later me met with Barb for dinner at Yemeni House in Lynnwood.

I was fortunate to be able to go to my friend Tong's memorial during this visit. Check back later for details.

After the memorial I got together with former co-workers Keith, Beth, Patrick, Ken, Dorothy, Shawn, Darla & Clarissa.

Later I had lunch with Darla & Clarissa at Thai Fusion

On the way back up to Darla's, we picked Kai up at Anne & Mary Kay's where he spent the night so I did not have to make a 2-hour round trip to drop him off at his house after Chinese movie night.

Later in the evening, Kai got Thunderbird email installed on the Framework laptop.

IASA #4-34

Kai taught me how to build my own Framework laptop!

I burned Kai out by being too energetic so I was on my own today while he slept to get recharged. Check back later for details.

I visited with cousin Scott, his wife Wakana, & their dog Momo.

Later I went to the Everett Trader Joe's to visit my friend Gulshan.

Then I joined Darla for a tasty dinner made by Jim!

The hard drive that Ben sent arrived a little after lunch today; Kai transferred the data from the MacBook Pro to the Framework. Check back later for details.

I check the security cameras almost every morning to see what the cats are doing; today I saw there was a pig in Denaʻs yard last night! 

We started the day with breakfast at Good Bagels. 

Then we stopped in at the Sea Bear Cannery store to pick up omiyage.
