Awake: 6:43am Temp 51 sleep 5+47 partly cloudy overnight @ Nicktown.
Late morning, due to pending rain, I finished mowing inside our circular drive; & then came a proposition I couldn't refuse: Chuck volunteered to mow our alley way grass with his John Deere mower. He doesn't catch the grass as we do but Kathy agreed to use our Snapper mower & vacuum up that loose grass; another (4) trips to the woods to dispose the grass clippings & it was a done deal.
Meanwhile, I spent a good (2) hrs trying to get our landline phones working. It was a goofy thing....our (DSL) high-speed Internet was active on & off, but no voice. I re-checked the filters & even replaced them with some of the extra filters not yet used to no avail. Outside on the incoming telephone pole, I cleaned the connections & further down line, used my test phone & still could not get a dial tone. Finally, using our cell phone, I called Verizon & requested a repair man for Monday.
Dinner: Cod fish with browned butter balsamic vinegar sauce, brown & rice with golden raisins, carrots & peas in a Boursin sauce, & a spinach salad.
Evening movie, finished watching: "Bugsy" with Warren Beatty, Annette Bening, Harvey Keitel, Ben Kingsley, Elliott Gould, Joe Mantegna, Richard Sarafian, etc. Beatty gives the most forceful performance of his career as Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel, the fabled crackpot gangster who helped build Las Vegas. 1991. Fantastic story with updated crude language, blood & guts scenery & viscous brutality. You don't want to miss this one. Google backed up the authenticity of this story & very accurate.
Lights out: 11:42pm
