Awake: 5:52am Temp 50 sleep 5+35 sunny overnight @ Nicktown.

I call Ken on his cell phone, asking to borrow his John Deere Tractor-mower; Ken apologizes & tells me he is just too busy this week to deliver the tractor.

K & I attend 8:00am Mass & then join the KK for (1.2) hrs.
After breakfast, Kathy & I cut each other’s hair, (35) min for her; (15) min for me. However, I may have to add a few more minutes to her time; after washing her hair & examining nearly every cut, she found a few imperceptible flaws. It will be corrected.

Next, I begin snooping around the outside of our motorhome; it appears that we have a water leak from somewhere. Yesterday I attributed a wet ground spot to overnight dew; today I’m convinced we have a problem.

After a good (30) min of sleuth work, I do find the leak; the filtered water line coming from the basement supply to the refrigerator has a connection about (12) inches before going into the ice cube tray. This connector is leaking; I tried tightening both small nuts to no avail. All water lines on our coach have individual shut off valves, so I closed the filtered water line for now.

Since this leak fooled us for a day, the dripping water created a small lake on top of our pure water tank in the basement. The only way I could feasibly drain the lake without making a mess was to use the “super shammy” that Kathy purchased nearly a yr ago and capillary action. It worked like a charm….slowly draining the water into a plastic pan.

Since removing the guard shield to get to the small ice cube water line, I decided to vacuum out dust from both condensers on the refrigerator & freezer.

I add another (2) coats of primer to our portable water filter unit. It looks a lot better now.

Dinner: tilapia fish with sweet potatoes, apple slices & a mixed salad.

I attend the 8:00 pm Holy Name meeting @ the church hall; attendance was sparse with no new business, so we adjourned within (30) min.

We watch (50) min of DVR movie: “The Edge of the World.”

Lights out: 11:34pm
