Awake: 6:20am Temp 54 sleep 5+56 foggy, then sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
Our KK meeting was very sparse this morning so we adjourned early. Meanwhile, K & I get 1.3 hrs of exercise done & a late, close to lunchtime, breakfast.
While Kathy watches “The View” program, Dick Skypes me from the northwest; his (5) day trek in his motorhome from Miami, OK to Portland, OR with only the (2) cats, was very boring but uneventful he tells me. However, he is looking forward to being with his wife Christine in a few days.
Kathy leaves @ 1:45 to turn & bag noodles @ the church hall.
Part-time truck driver Gary C. calls; although we are both somewhat computer illiterate, we discuss our Ethernet speed. He suspects his DSL speed is not as fast as it should be; “have I got something for you” I tell him. Later I send him an address that will measure his upload & download speeds plus quality of service.
Next, K & I visit Cyril @ his family homestead; we have some good talks for over 1.5 hrs & then return to our home on wheels. Cyril did give us some sad news: my 1st cousin, Bernie, in Kirschtown, had a stroke sometime earlier today & is now @ Miners Hospital in Hastings, PA.
Trucker, Gary C. calls & reports his DSL speed….we compare & find out his DSL speed is very close to the average speed I’ve been experiencing.
Next, K & I increase the size of our berry container & spend over an hr picking more wild strawberries.
Jo Anne, another 1st cousin, calls to inform us about our 1st cousin Bernie.
Katrina calls from Denver; she is having her Honda serviced & looked over carefully in prep for her (1) month travel adventures. She tells us the mechanic found the oil pan threads stripped so the pan will need to be replaced because there is not enough metal to make new threads. Katrina saw the oil pan cover up close & agreed; evidently the pan had been rethreaded before.
Nick Skypes us for about (35) min; they are all doing well.
We call & talk with my sister Mary Jo in Lodi, CA. We update each other on “what’s happening.”
Dinner: I didn’t make a note & now, neither of us remembers!
No movie tonight…..the boss is not interested.
