Awake: 6:00 am Temp Downtown= 46 High Overcast
After breakfast, Kathy talks me into cleaning the 6 spotlights in our
living room. It's a high ceiling so I have to use that 7' ladder.
Meanwhile Kathy cleans all 5 bathrooms in anticipation of our friends
arriving from Nevada today. Then this whirlwind lady whooshes around the
kitchen center island & other areas of the house and magically nearly
everything is clean & orgainzed....just like that. Most guys just couldn't
do this kind of magic. Especially me.
Meanwhile on Monday, after mowing the grass with the Kubota tractor, I
wanted to follow up the trimming with the Snapper mower....but that 25
year old machine didn't run so well. No power + running rough and I didn't
want to take the time to troubleshoot that day. Now that I've had time to
thing about it, it had to be either spark or fuel. I choose 1st, the
sparkplug. Bingo! It was a mess. Now the old machine runs like new again.
Early afternoon, our doorbell rings: It's Gary. He's arrived but where is
his truck & trailer, wife & granddaughter? " They are up the road " he
says. My directions where superb but someone just recently took the road
sign for our road and the only other sign reads: No Outlet! Gary wasn't
about to enter a road that indicated: NO OUTLET pulling his trailer.
Anyway, we guide them into our RV parking pad backside of our house,
introduce them to the amenities of water, electric, telephone & internet
cable, etc., but Gary only needs power for now. We met Gary & Rosemary
over two yrs ago back in Pennsylvania and have kept in touch ever since.
They've traveled here to Alaska from Nevada, picking up their
granddaughter in Fairbanks, then drove here to our place.
Kathy makes dinner for five: Stuffed peppers, bread, salad & a fresh fruit
dish for desert. We sit & yak in living room until 10:00 pm.
Lights out: 11:08 pm
