On This Day Jul 18

17th	18th	19th
1969	Drove up to Darrell's lake home with Darrell and Klyberg in my car. We raced Storlie, Dunk and Evets. Too fast on a right-angled corner on gravel road and we both ended up in a ditch. But easy to get out and no damage. First thing out the car and Darrell dove into the lake.
1971	Phil and I went to Whites for Susi's birthday. Ian gave her "Formula 1" game and I gave her a bridge score card. We spent the rest of the day playing both.
1976	Doug's for lunch, then watched him win the F-Grade "plate" at squash by beating Moffatt. Back to Ardmore for golf in rain with him and Steve. Steve gave us a lift home.
1977	Visited Tony and met Alice's parents, Marylee and Norman who is a pilot (TX).
1982	Su - Helen gave us a tour around Worthington and Lake Okabena. Rich, Dutch farmers with many lovely properties and big churches. Stopped in Albert Lea for lunch at Burger King. Passed many old-time cars (kids counted 198) - apparently over 6,000 at Fair grounds this weekend.
1988	OZ trip: Expo Go to Trip Report
1992	Whites over and played Family Feud. After supper we had the German Grand Prix - Ian won. Cake and gifts, then chatted until 11:30PM.
1993	Whites for German Grand Prix which I won. After a meal and cake we gave Susi gifts - silverware, crossword book, bridge book, lazy susan, the younger hair card. Couple games of Upwords. I made a version out of bottlecaps.
1996	Th - Went to Happy Days with Ian and Susi for a fantastic feed and a very good Montana '95 CabSav Merlot to celebrate Susi's birthday.
1997	F - Day 11 of our 3 month journey around the world. See 1997 Trip Photo Journal.
2003	Roché and family stopped in to ask about buying a Dell and gave me the used one I bought for them. Birthday girl, Ian, Jackie and the mini-Whites came by. David played his new Pac-Man game with Christian and Kelcie while the rest of us visited with a dry Dazante 2000 Sangiovese until it was time for the German Grand Prix. I had the lead until the final move when David beat me. We had a pitstop for cake.
2010	Su - Mini-Whites for Susi's birthday and to meet Madison. Played Dominion with Leon, Ian and Chris. Skyped with Melbourne family and then with Matthew. Looked at Fiji photos from Susi, Domi and Brad's trip. Ate and then it was a game of Pandemic with Leon and Chris. Birthday cake (baked by Kelcie and fresh out of the oven) and a final game of Dominion.
2011	M - Larry over with the two offers and we will wait a day to see if Fairburns will go up before I decide. Ian and Susi over for a curry meal with a fantastic Wolf Blass Gold Label '07 shiraz. Then we played Alhmabra with a weaker White Cliff '10 shiraz.
2022	M - Listened to the Twins 4 - Brewers 1 on Miranda walk-off homer. Brewers while finishing the Grant portrait. AFL: Suns rolled over Crows 116 - 73.
2024	Th - Walked to Bay Audiology where the dumb lady told me the hearing aid was off. I explained that it turns on automatically when I remove it from the charger. She comes back again and says there's wax in bud. I told her that Abbie put that one in on Tuesday and I haven't worn it since it doesn't work. So she went away, came back and said I need to see a technician, which I had already told her. On way home I met a fellow with 2 Cavalier King Charles spaniel poodle cross.
