Bakersfield Garage Sale

Thursday:

Wilton Sidewalk Wilton Sidewalk
I finished the sidewalk up in front and a ways down the side yard. Above are the before views of side yard.

Wilton Sidewalk
Above, some of the sidewalk has been finished. After we return from this short trip, I'll do some more.

Before leaving Thursday, I had a dentist appointment to get a couple of fillings repaired. After the appointment, we hit the road about 3:20 pm toward Bakersfield. We stopped for dinner at Harris Ranch on I5 East of Coalinga. We arrived in Bakersfield a little after 9pm and went over to Walmart's for a walk. It's air conditioned. We were going to take a walk around Harris Ranch but the manure smell was hanging in the air all the way from their cattle feed yard all the way to Kettleman City.

Friday:

Lou, Aunt Helen, Aunt Mary, and Cousin Maryjane are setting up for the garage sale tomorrow.

Uncle Doug needed some room in his RV for his dialysis machine. It needed about 24' x 24" of clear floor space. Something had to give and the bed lost. The original king bed was modified to accept a queen mattress by cutting a notch out of the corner of the bed stand lid and shrinking the under bed storage area. The entire bed couldn't be reduced because of the water tank under the bed. This should provide enough space to allow more convenient travel.
