Awake 6:18 am Temp Downtown=56 Sunny 18 hrs 20 min of daylight
Today, among other things, we want to start the process of Kathy getting
her share of Social Security bucks. So after a wonderful french toast
breakfast, we head downtown...1st stop @ our Credit Union...then to the
Federal Bldg on 8th Ave. The process takes only 30 min, then we take a 10
min walk over to Hasco & purchase a replacement Chronotherm thermostat(
Honeywell ) for the gameroom/1st floor. It's such a beautiful day for
walking around town. Back in our car, we call the Footes for a possible
visit(no answer). En route home, we experience a 20 min delay due to major
road improvement work being preformed on our Basher road...and this is
good. Back @ 2:00 pm.
Ok, time for more fun. Finally I do the epoxy wood repair job outside our
gameroom door on a small section of water rotted wood. After curing for a
day or so, It will be sanded & painted. Another dare to have anyone notice
the work area.
Kathy & I deliberate on taking action with our kitchen dormers. They are
made of pine wood, painted with the rawhide stuff & not looking so good.
So out comes the Cherry Picker...kathy takes her position on the back
porch...using my 4 inch, heavy duty portable belt sander, I painstakingly
& painfully sand off the old rawhide on the vertical & horizontal wood
sections. She was my cheering committee: " Go man go!" " You can do it!"
" You're my hero, you hunk!" Wow, who could resist working like an beast
with that kind of encouragement. On occasion she would move indoors to
avoid all that sawdust...those wonderful cheering words were being
replaced with coughing & sneezing sounds. Anyway, we did it! Later to be
primed & painted.
After a good shower & a glass of wine, I am back to being a regular husband.
9:00 pm Dinner: Big hamburger patty, Pasta asparagus, toast & fresh salad.
Cross word puzzle late evening. Lights out: 12:02 am
