March 12, 2011: I just found this post in the DRAFT folder.  I wrote it and it never got published, I’m publishing it the way it was originally written.  I don’t think I’m up to reading it.  Maybe later this week.  Harry

It has been a long week since we got home from vacation.  We got home on Saturday evening about 7:00 p.m.  We were unloading the motorhome when all three of the kids came by the house.   We were talking in the kitchen waiting for Jean to come up from the basement.  I was talking to Brian when I saw a big red mark on his collar-bone just down from his neck.  I asked him what had happened and he said, “We better get Mom here so we can have a family meeting”.

The meeting was to let Jean and I know that Brian had been diagnosed as having cancer on Monday September 13.  Over the last two weeks he had been through a whole battery of tests to confirm the type and stage of the cancer.   They know it’s lymphoma and believe it’s at level two, just don’t know which type of non-hodgkin lymphoma.

CHRISTMAS PAST

A tree from Christmas past.

HANK, NEW MILE STONE

When we first got Hank he was quite a challenge. He didn’t know how to play and would try to take your hand off if you got to close to anything he might think was his.  It took a long time to teach he to chase a ball and than bring it back.  After a lot of work we got him to drop the ball so we could throw it again.  The next step was to get him to drop it in our hand, this required a considerable amount of growling before he’d let go and drop the ball.  Tonight he repeatedly let me take the ball right out of his mouth.  After the 5 or 6 times he even quit growling.  Hank’s almost a normal dog.  !!!!!!!

It has been a while.  We just started a fun home remodeling project, new plumbing.  On Monday February 7th Jim Wetton Plumbing is going to replace all the water lines in the house from our side of the meter in.

I have all the necessary walls cut open and I think we are set to go.   I’ve taken a bunch of pictures and some of them are on my website, www.harrylange.com.  I have created a new section for Home Remodeling.

Friday night we saw Brian in Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog at the ACT.  He is Moist.   The production was really enjoyable and we all got to spend some time together.

While cleaning the basement this morning I found a piece of Christmas past.
It’s a piece of Christmas tree history.   It was only 55 degrees in the basement so this piece of Christmas past became current heat.

I added a couple of things to the website today.  Several years ago I installed a catalytic heating system.  One of the things it has lacked is the ability to circulate the warm air around the heater.  I recently added a fan which mounts to the heater backing frame – (Link)

Playing

In an effort to escape the oppressive heat of Enumclaw we are spending the weekend at Silver Springs. 
To Stine & Zach, enjoy B’s play.

It’s Tuesday and I usually sail model boats on Tuesday’s, however I didn’t get off work until after 6:30 p.m. so I just stayed home.

I did a little yard work, trimmed a couple of plants and spent some time working on the website: www.harrylange.com.

I have taken pictures of the improvements (I think they are) I’ve made to your motorhome and I’m slowly getting them added to the motorhome section of the site. If you want to see how I’m doing I have a site update page. It’s the last link on bottom left column of the home page Site Update Listings

This is just a quick post to see if I changed the time stamp to the correct time. I think we are UTC -7 for daylight savings time. Standard pacific time would be UTC -8.
