Awake: 6:16am Temp 36 sleep 6+12 sunny overnight @ Nicktown, PA.
Due to the cold weather, I drove Kathy to the church hall to join the crew in making noodles this morning.
Then I continued my fix on pump house # 1; cutting the necessary pvc sections to length & cleaning both ends of each piece, inside & outside, ready for cementing tomorrow. Instructions on the cement can advised a drying temp of between 40 - 100 degrees for 24-hrs for best fix. NOAA forecasts a low of (36) degrees tonight; I'm not taking any chances.
Kathy returned from noodle making & was looking for something to do. With this good weather day, I suggested she mow the inside of our circular drive & she was eager to comply. Naturally, when the basket was full, I would take it to the woods (6) trips & add to our compost pile. After she finished, I mowed the west area & made another (4) trips to the compost pile.
Dinner: chicken noodle soup with oyster crackers & leftover fish & fries.
Evening movie; we finish: "The Last Detail" with Jack Nicholson, Otis Young, Randy Quaid, Clifton James, etc. Superior comedy-drama about (2) career sailors ordered to transport a kleptomaniac prisoner to the brig; Robert Towne's brilliant off-color dialogue contributes to a quintessential Nicholson performance. 1973. We thought the movie moved at a slow pace & would not suggest adding it to your list.
Lights out: 11:49pm
