Awake: 6:04am Temp 69 sleep 6+02 sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
Kathy & I attend the 8:30am KK meeting for an hr; hot topic: Unions. Afterward, we do some light exercise for an hr to begin our summer look-tough profile.
Back @ our motorhome, I Skype with Ray for (53) min using our landline as a backup audio feature.
Mid afternoon, I call Verizon & talk with Brandon in the Philippines regarding our Ethernet connection; Brandon’s accent was a little challenging but the guy was technically “the best yet” of the many calls I’ve made for DSL service. He had our Ethernet working within (40) min & then double checked it to be sure I would be satisfied. Now I can box up the original faulty module & send it back to Verizon in Westchester, PA.
Later, I call Linda in Anchorage & ask to have our mail forwarded.
While cleaning the filter on our Eureka vacuum cleaner, I found a broken plastic section inside the canister & have no idea how it happened. In my spare time, I’ll probably epoxy the pieces together until new parts can be found.
Before dinner, Kathy & I pick wild strawberries for an hr from our “golf course;” she cools them in the frig for a couple hours, then rinses them under running water, dries them in a towel, bags them, & puts them in the freezer for later enjoyment.
Dinner: meatloaf, mashed potatoes, gravy & green beans…..delicious.
We watch the O’Reilly Factor & later, after the dinner dishes are washed & dried, finish watching DVR movie: “Notorious” with Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman, Claude Rains, Louis Calhern, etc. Top-notch espionage tale by Ben Hecht, set in post-WWII South America, with Ingrid marrying spy Rains to aid U.S. & agent Grant; frank, tense, well acted with amazingly suspenseful climax. 1946. One of those “edge of your seat” stories you don’t want to miss.
Lights out: 11:44pm
