When Gina Met Tammy...Ch.14
Tammy and Gina continue their planning for the Connecticut trip, and Gina begins forming a plan of her own.
TAMMY:
I was the first one awake, but only by a few seconds. Gina woke up as well, and turned her head for a quick kiss before we both had a leisurely stretch and got out of bed. After a pee and brushing of teeth, we had a proper good morning kiss, then went down for coffee and breakfast. I made the coffee while Gina fixed some eggs and sausage links.
Today, we have the new TV and PC coming in, and Tomas will be here to check out the woods behind the house for our running track. After we ate, we went up to shower. Although we don't need to shave, we still set the shower to mist while we ate each other's sweet pussy to nice climaxes before turning it to full and washing our bodies. As Gina put it, a "lil' mornin' muffin munch is good fer ya!"
We talked for a while about our exercise routine once we got all our equipment in place. Since we're not looking to bulk up or lose weight, just to trim and tone, I said doing the exercises twice a week would probably be enough. Then we can run in the mornings the other 3 days, and have the weekends free to...play! After dressing in shorts and T shirts, we went back downstairs to wait on the technician coming at 10:00.
After talking about it some, we decided to put the training for
krav maga
off for a little while. Gina said she could teach me what she knew, and we can always start the training after things settle down a little. Right now, though, we've got a wedding to get ready for!
GINA:
We went downstairs and looked at flights to Connecticut for the wedding. We figured we can go on June 18
th
, giving us 4 full days before the wedding and flying back on the 25
th
when Keme and Angie leave for their honeymoon. Tammy found a flight leaving Durango at 8:15 AM, with an hour layover in Denver. With the 2-hour time difference, that will get us to Hartford around 12:30 and we can rent a car and drive to her hometown. For the return flight, there's a plane at 11:00 AM that would get us back to Durango around 7:00 PM. I told Tammy to book those, making sure they were first class (except for the puddle-jumpers to and from Denver to Durango). This way, we can drive Angie and Keme to Hartford for their flight to Miami and only have a 45-minute wait until we fly home. The confirmation and web links came, and we're all set!
The console beeped, and Tammy went out to meet the driver and show him where to park his van while I went down and unlocked and opened the egress door. Jim, the technician, was a man in his 30s and very nice. We helped him unload everything to the basement and I showed him where we wanted the TV and PC. We started unboxing it all, taking the empty boxes and packing back to his van. Tammy took the printer upstairs for us to set up later and Jim started mounting the wall bracket while I put the PC cart together.
After we helped him hold up the TV while he fastened it to the mount, he started setting everything up. The converter box, PC, monitor and keyboard/mouse all went on the cart, and Jim began running all of the wiring. He really knew his shit! By 11:30, everything was working, and Jim had concealed all of the wires as much as he could. He showed us how to switch from the PC to cable and gave us a card with a phone number to call if we had any problems. I gave him a $50 tip and thanked him, then he was gone.
TAMMY:
Since it was close to noon, we went ahead and fixed some sandwiches and had dinner out on the deck. A little before 1:00, the console beeped again and we saw Tomas pulling up. He got a distance measuring wheel out of his truck, and we walked out past the pool to the north boundary, then measured to the south boundary. Next, he measured from the back of the pool to the east boundary. There aren't any fences along the boundaries, but there are fenceposts every 6 feet marking the property line. Gina and I walked with him, and she said she'd never been in the woods behind the house yet. The trees aren't really dense, but we did notice a lot of dead branches and a few dead trees along the way.
Tomas had a notebook with him and wrote down the measurements. While we were walking back, Tomas said that when Jake lived here, his crew would come out twice a year and clear the woods of branches and dead trees in front of and behind the house, but when Jake died, Gina's father only wanted them to take care of the lawn and pool. Gina told him she wanted to do what Jake had done, and for Tomas to make a new contract to include that biannual clearing, along with the lawn, pool, and clearing snow in the winter. Having the undergrowth cleared is a lot safer in case of fire, as they're finding out in California where they banned clearing the land and are getting plagued with fires.
We went back up on the deck, and Tomas said he had some software on his computer that he could figure out a 2 ½ mile track running through the woods. He said judging by what he'd seen, his crew would clear the woods in back, sides, and front on Thursday, and begin marking and plowing the path. On Friday, the men would start grading the trail and laying down the base level of gravel then compacting it. Monday they'll put the top layer down and compact it and we'll be all set.
GINA:
After Tomas left, we got my will and Tammy's souvenirs and drove to the FedEx office and shipped them. Even as we walked in the door back at home, the clothes started coming off. Tammy giggled and said we should have a sign made saying 'No Company? -- No Clothes!' I laughed and said, "Damn, baby, yer getting' nearly as corrupted as I am!"
