Awake 6:05 am Temp Downtown=38 Partly sunny
Our Katrina calls @ 7:24 am to complain to me...can you imagine!! She was
really tired from the hike to Long lake & didn't sleep well overnight, so
to stay awake while doing school work last night, she drank a cherry
Pepsi. Then at bedtime, she was WIDE awake for hours....and now, sleepy. I
was sympathetic to her dilemma.
Mountain Top Corian calls for Kathy @ 8:25 am. They are to visit us this
Thursday & check out our corian kitchen countertop.
Christy from Moore Heating calls @ 8:42 am. James the service man is on
his way. I had asked for James to replace our supply diolectric union &
isolator that's located on the backside of our broiler. It's beginning to
show signs of leakage when our heating system is shut down for the summer.
Last fall he estimated it would be an all day job.... he felt that part of
the duct work would need to be removed. Meanwhile, I got to scrutinizing
this project and surmised that if he could just remove the flue ducting,
it would be much simpler & less expensive. When James arrived, we
immediately went to the equipment room and I brought up my theory about
the flue removal approach. Without hesitation James said he had been
thinking about this idea also and feels that it will be a much better way
to go.
4.5 Hrs later, James is finished....in half the time. Still expensive but
half the price. James is an impressive young man. He put himself thru a
Tech two year electrician's program...graduated top man in his class with
a 4.0 GPA...then went to boiler & servicing school. Now this young man is
classified as a senior service guy doing some hi-tech repair stuff around
town. His work is outstanding. James leaves at 1:35pm.
Kathy removes 12 window screens...I wash and install same.
Kathy varnished the north stairway...then moves into the Melissa/Nick
bedroom for more varnishing of the wood.
Using the Cherry Picker, I first wipe clean the areas that I scraped &
wire brushed on Sunday...then paint primer on the exposed wood area. It's
7:30 pm now & threating rain so I park the Picker in the garage for the
night. Kathy & I both take much needed showers.
Katrina & roomate Star arrive at 9:00pm in separate cars. They load up
Troy's " stuff " and drive off to deliver the goods to Troy who is renting
a place close to the Alaska Club.
Dinner @ 9:30 pm Beef Stew with toast. Lights out: 11:32 pm
