Awake: 6:49am Temp 53 sleep 6+43 mostly sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
Kathy makes a breakfast of: eggs over easy with bacon & toast & fresh pear.
Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest & relaxation with dignity but…it’s a perfect day for us to mow grass because there’s a nice breeze with plenty of sunshine. However, I have a few things to do 1st.
Melissa’s Hoover Flair vacuum cleaner; as I suspected, the drive pulley for the beater bar system has slipped on its shaft, thus causing a misalignment of the belt. After taking it apart outside, I ask Kathy to work with me in holding the motor shaft in place while I give the pulley a whack…moving it back to where it belongs. This time, I epoxy the pulley to the shaft in hopes that this will prevent any further sliding movement.
During my Flair vacuum repair activity, Kathy does a load of laundry, then uses our Eureka & vacuums the entire house including our cloth furniture. When she’s finished, I take the Eureka filter outside & clean it thoroughly, stashing the debris into a plastic bag.
Next, I run the CAT motorhome engine for (20) min; pumping up the air bags & checking all the instrumentation….making sure all is copasetic
Our Toyota’s air filter light has been on & off lately when motoring to & fro. Out comes the owners manual & some metric tools; (4) bolts, (3) separate covers & (15) min later, I find a lot of leaves & junk dust in the filter. Using our Eureka vacuum, I suck out & give that circular filter a good cleaning. A test drive in our driveway tells me it’s ok now.
What time is it Kathy? Oops, I guess it’s too late for mowing grass today!
Dinner: BLT & mixed fresh fruit salad.
Evening entertainment: DVD movie: “The Major & the Minor” with Ginger Rogers, Ray Milland, Rita Johnson, Robert Benchley, Diana Lynn, etc. Memorable comedy of working girl Rogers disguised as 12-yr old to save train fare, becoming involved with Milland’s military school. 1942. Kathy was wide awake during this story so you can be assured it’s a good one.
Lights out: 11:56pm
