Awake: 6:15am Temp 45 Sunny Overnight @ Nicktown
I take an early morning phone call from my cousin Florentz who asks me if
we should follow through on our pending trip to Duncansville for more info
on geo-thermo heating & cooling. After a brief discussion, we both feel
that Tuesday’s meeting with Terry @ REA in Indiana was so informative on
the technical side, that an additional session at this time really isn’t
necessary.
K & I walk to the community center & join the lenient coffee club members
@ 8:30 for 40 min.
@ 11:00am our neighbor & cousin Al picks Kathy & me up to attend another
Rotary meeting held @ the Cambria Hills Country Club. 1st Al makes a stop
@ the Bi-Lo store in Spangler for groceries & Kathy takes advantage of
this stop, picking up some salad greens. Next a stop @ the First
Commonwealth Bank in Barnesboro to check if one of the Rotary members will
be attending the meeting today: She is not! 10 min later, we arrive @ the
parking lot of Cambria Hills where other members are donning plastic
orange vests to wear, gloves to use & extra bags to carry. We are doing
the spring cleaning of trash along a (3) mile stretch of highway that this
Rotary group is responsible for. I think there were 8 of us all totaled,
picking up cigarette butts, paper, aluminum cans, bottles, et cetera from
both sides of the road. 1.2 hrs later, we are rewarded with a hot lunch of
sauerkraut & pork plus ham & bean soup….both dishes were excellent. K & I
enjoyed seeing & meeting some of the other members we haven’t met before.
Al brings us back to our property @ 2:00pm.
Next I walk over to Carol’s business in town to get a piece of cardboard
to be used later. On my return, I spot Melissa & the boys arriving for a
short visit. Matthew & I spend about 20 min inside our coach, then the
rest of the time outdoors….making roads & playing with small cars & trucks
in the dirt. Our dirt area was not so fine & the roads rather rough so
maybe Matthew’s enthusiasm may have been suppressed just a little this
time. Later we are all sitting outside enjoying the nice day here in the
rolling hills of Nicktown. Melissa & the gang leave @ 4:45pm.
Late afternoon Kathy helps me make a cardboard cover that will be placed
over our closet skylight, then I’ll cover the teepee structure with my
adhesive plastic sheeting. I am still trying to keep the nuisance skylight
from seeping a leak. On December 14, 2005 when we stopped @ the Newell
factory, I had the skylight on my list to be repaired, thinking they would
seal it with a new gasket but no, Charlie said he’d fix it without a new
gasket…..NOT!
7:00 dinner: Salad & popcorn while watching the satellite movie: “The
Devil’s Advocate” with Al Pacino & Keanu Reeves. A great moving picture
with a surprise twist.
Kevin calls late: “Don’t come @ 8:00am….I’ll be parts shopping…..come @
9:00am.”
