JUNE 8, 2006 JEFF IN GALENA
A quiet day. I went to Rapid and rented a pickup. Went to Lowe's and got some lumber for the outhouse and a screen door. Went to buy the desk I wanted but it had been sold!!! Idiot me, I should have just bought it when I saw it.
Went to the dump, then into Deadwood looking for a desk. I called a place in Spearfish and she claimed to have a few. I looked at hers but didn't like any. She told me to try the Salvation Army, where I found one that was ok, just not as good as the one that got away.
Dropped off the desk, took the pickup back, ate at Perkins. Came home with dark clouds coming up from the south.
Last night I woke up about 2:30am for some reason. Then at 3am there was a big bang behind the cabin, like metal being kicked. Then at 3:30am the same noise. The half-hour timing of that kinda freaked me out, but I suppose it was just some animal walking in back of the outhouse where there's junk. I turned the outside lights on and went to bed.
This is sort of like the constant entries in a cat diary; "ate, slept, played with the ball. A good day."
