Awake: 6:38am Temp 58 sleep 6+15 sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
K & I attend 8:00am Mass & then join the KK afterward; again some of our members are absent; this time we surmise it’s the fishing crew.
Today is Rotary day; I pick up Pres Al @ 11:22am with (1) stop en route to check my tire pressure on the Toyota @ Sheetz while Al enters the bank & checks to see if Ann is attending the meeting….she took the day off.
Lunch @ Rotary: Pasta with meatballs, green beans, Caesar salad, buns & jello with small orange slices for dessert. (2) stops en route to Nicktown; state store for me & for Al to drop his chainsaw off in Kirschtown & have the chain sharpened.
Meanwhile, Kathy had use of the Suzuki & visited the Barnesboro Library……
After waiting patiently for (24) days, the “never captured” groundhog obviously evaded death & John’s deadly trap that he had set August 11th ….so, to disarm this destructive mass of mean looking metal, I toss a stick into it’s mouth & immediately, that stick is macerated. Then, to retain my reputation of cleanliness, using metal polish & a soft cloth, I do my best to clean up the trap.
K & I watch the nat’l news & then dinner, Kathy has: pasta with meatballs & tomato sauce, leftover from Rotary. My dinner: leftover stuffed pepper.
During my dish cleaning, we watch the O’Reilly Factor. Later, the Republican National Convention & Cindy McCain’s speech & then, John McCain’s speech.
Later evening: Nick calls from Nagoya, Japan on Skype with a clear signal. He had no camera so we used our landline phones talking for over an hr. They are having a great time with his in-laws & family. In a few days, his vacation will end & he’ll be conducting business in Hong Kong, then Tokyo & then Korea & lastly, back to Nagoya to pick up Eriko & Jerry & return to the U.S.A.
Lights out: 11:53pm
