Awake: 6:44am Temp 52 sleep 7+25 sunny overnight @ Las Vegas, NV.
I continue some leftover reading from yesterday; then some mid morning Skype time with Ray in WA.
Getting a little more ambitious, I try cleaning some rubber tire marks off the concrete on the entry way for this site, all with a stiff brush; 1st using Windex, then Heet, next, Iron Out, followed by Shout & concluding with Bleach. The Iron Out product worked the best, but after a casual (2) hrs, there was not a noticeable difference from before I started. Why would I even think of doing something like this! Well, Dick hinted that if I had some spare time, I might see what I could do....which was, not much.
To wash off the concrete, I began reeling out Dick’s water hose & quickly found out it needed a rubber washer & then, the hose had a rather hefty leak in the center of its length. I wrapped a patch around that hole & then decided to simply use my own hose to save time. During this time, Kathy does some grocery shopping @ Smith’s & Target….stocking up our cupboard.
On line, I sign up for Verizon’s high speed Internet back in PA @ our property starting in April.
I call Jeff in Anchorage & leave a message.
Melissa calls after 5:00pm Pacific Time; she & Kathy chat for (30-40) min before Nathan wakes for his late evening nursing. Melissa gives Kathy a list if things she’d like from Costco.
Kathy calls Katrina in Denver; they discuss Stephanie’s departure and damages to the townhouse; Katrina’s need to find a 3rd roommate; & the meeting she had with Karina and her new foster family, a positive experience.
Dinner: leftover Italian sausage with pasta.
DVR movie: “A Star is Born” with Fredric March, Janet Gaynor, Adolphe Menjou, May Robson, Andy Devine, etc. Powerful semi-musical with March & Gaynor @ their peaks as doomed Hollywood star couple; she on the way up, he down; captured in early Technicolor. 1937. Good story.
Lights out: 12:22am
