Awake: 6:22am Temp 10 sleep 6+15 overcast overnight @ Indiana, PA.
We were notified that both Katrina & little “sister” Karina landed in Latrobe around 2:00am; Zack picked them up & had them @ the Foote Castle about 3:00am. It was quite the different experience for both girls.
K & I drive to Nicktown & join the KK for a good (1.5) hrs of good talk. Then we drive to Barnesboro for our 10:30am dental appointment. Kathy had no glitches with her check-up; I on the other hand, had a chipped front tooth & lost a filling. Dentist Peter assures an easy fix on both for next week.
Then we drive over to Hastings, PA (20) min, so Kathy can give a blood sample in prep for her Dr’s app’t coming up next week. From here, we drive to Ebensburg & visit my brother & his wife.
Some time ago, I convinced Don to get Skype on his computer so today, Don & I download all the necessary stuff to make it happen. Josie helps out by offering some healthy treats & a glass of wine to keep our brains functioning properly. The video worked well but we couldn’t get the audio, since my time was running out to report in @ the Foote Castle I left my brother with the direction to call Logitech & talk to the experts.
Back @ the Castle, Melissa reports that their family fan has acted up again so for the 2nd time I take the unit down to the workshop, oil the sleeve bearings as before & the unit works great. I am suspicious however, that the oil I use is too thin & during a night of fanning, the thin oil evaporates & leaves those sleeve bearings dry. Luckily, their guarantee is still in effect.
My brother calls from Ebensburg. He talked with the Logitech experts about his camera & audio; they pointed him in the right direction to register his unit &, “bingo”, everything works as advertised.
K & I missed lunch & dinner today so we both scrounge around the refrigerator for leftovers; spaghetti with meat sauce is it & that’s good enough for us & taste good too.
Evening time: Zack, Kathy, Katrina & I play a game of “Blockus”; a very close game but Zack came out the winner. We like playing this game.
K & I return to our motel @ 11:10pm; I stay awake a bit longer & download some pictures to my hard drive from the memory stick.
Lights out: 11:52pm
