Three Beautiful Things 07/12/18: Sube's A/C Needs Fixing, Lunch with Byrdman, Preparing for Company

1. I roared out of Kellogg this morning and headed to the Subaru shop I do business with in Hayden to try and get answers once and for all about the Sube's air conditioning unit which has been on the blink, functioning erratically, for a couple of years. The a/c needs expensive repair work and we don't want a car with no a/c and we know the car is in otherwise good shape and we don't want to buy another car right now.  We'll get the a/c fixed.

2. After I was done at the shop, I swung by Byrdman's house and we headed up Government Way to Paragon, an excellent pub with a solid taplist. We each had their superb All-American burger and shoestring fries and enjoyed a pint of Tricksters' Citra Smash Ale. I hadn't see Byrdman for a while and he had lots of news about his last jam-packed month and we got in some great yakkin' with Kerry, a co-owner of Paragon, and got the latest news as to when Paragon hopes to break ground for their on-site brewery.

3. Back home, the Deke and I worked on getting the top floor of the house ready for our company this weekend. Earlier in the week, we had bought a new vacuum cleaner and I put it together and put it to good use upstairs and also got the window fans set up so that it will be cool upstairs for Vickie and Alan's comfort. This is another step forward in our ongoing efforts to finally get settled into our house and rearrange it after moving in last September and having two remodeling jobs done. Slowly and surely.
