Awake: 6:12am Temp 62 sleep 6+08 sunny overnight @ Nicktown, PA.
Last February 13th of this yr we were sitting outside @ a small restaurant in Hollywood, Florida called the "Le Tub" waiting for our hamburgers to be served when we had a call from our near neighbor Chuck in PA. He told us that the high winds blowing thru Nicktown had blown one of our pump houses down & scattered some of the parts throughout the yard. With the help of his younger brother, they were able to section it together with small come-alongs (small hand winches) & hoped that it would hold until we returned in the spring. We took turns talking with both Chuck & Shirley & thanked them for their neighborliness.
So today, even though it's Sunday, I got after that ugly wrapped up box &, like a large puzzle, slowly pieced it together again. No serious damage was done to the Rubber Maid unit after all, but I was glad that Chuck & his brother tied it together to protect some of the items that were stored inside.
Kathy called the Foote family on Saturday & left a message about a possible visit today; so maybe we'll see our grandsons today or maybe tomorrow.
Next, I got out our land line phone cord & connected with the phone company. Then I set up our high-speed Internet system, which is a delight to experience.
Now to trouble-shoot the LG TV in our living room; focusing on the diagram in the TV manual where the power plug might be, my guess is that the wash-board I-70, jiggled the plug out. Using a mirror & flashlight, sure enough, I saw that plug hanging & not within reach. It took about (30) min to remove a lower panel, plug in the power, check the TV, tape the plug down so this won't re-occur & re-assemble the structure.
Dinner: Italian sausage & peppers with a mixed salad.
Melissa called us late; she had called this morning & left a message but we didn't get it. She & Kevin, their boys, & friends were busy yesterday & today assembling a shed that they put on the cement foundation that Kevin & I laid last summer. We'll probably visit them on Tue.
Evening movie: "Mon Oncle" with Gerard Depardieu, Nicole Garcia, Roger Pierre, Marie Dubois, etc. Intensely directed, acted & written film illustrating research scientist Laborit's theories on human conduct. The focus is on the intertwined lives of a plant manager (Depardieu), actress (Garcia), & media executive (Pierre); very intelligent & thought provoking. 1980. French with sub-titles; this movie was great.
Lights out: 12:24am
