Awake: 6:45am Temp 45 sleep 7+01 overcast, then sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
Carol calls: “Dave is here if you want to store your autos this morning” she says. “I am on my way” I tell her. Since it drizzled overnight, I take the Buick for a quick, fast drive east of town to help dry off the moisture. Both Dave & his son Steve were in position to watch & give hand signals for the tight parking space when I returned. During the short time I used the Buick, I borrowed the battery from the Suzuki.
Next, the Toyota; this time Kathy & I wipe off the moisture with special towels & then, with Dave watching, I back right into the storage building. Then Dave brings in all the other heavy equipment into storage which will certainly block our cars over the winter season.
Now, @ 11:40, I have breakfast.
Afterwards, I call the Hartford Ins Co & cancel my collision coverage on the Toyota. Next, the handle of our rake is loosening up so I mix up some epoxy & make sure it thoroughly penetrates the handle & the metal rake prongs. Then I use some extra epoxy to fasten down a deer whistle that shook loose on the Suzuki's front bumper.
I start making a glitch list of our motorhome for Creslie @ Newell.
Call my brother Don; he & Josie are in Maryland, sailing as we speak. They are having a great time with their grandchildren.
Dinner: beef stew with whole grain bread.
Nick & I Skype….but not for long as Jerry was restless & needed his dad’s attention.
We finish watching: “The Naked Spur” with James Stewart, Janet Leigh, Ralph, Meeker, Robert Ryan, Millard Mitchell. One of the best Westerns ever made; a tough, hard little film about self-styled bounty hunter Stewart trying to capture Ryan, who stirs tension among Stewart’s newly, acquired “Partners.” 1953. Even though Kathy’s father was a true Western fan, she is not; thus it took us (3) nights to finish this film. I thought it was a great character study however.
Lights out: 11:29pm
