Awake: 6:22am Temp 63 sleep 5+46 sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
After breakfast, I got the 12 Volt windshield wiper motor that I found in the garbage @ the Newell Service Dept out from our basement storage area. The positive voltage leg was burnt but, at the time, I thought by chance, maybe the motor & gearing would be ok. Using my Fluke meter, the motor's winding checked ok; next, using my battery charger, I applied 12 volts to the positive lead with the negative lead grounded & what a smooth running motor it is. Both high speed & low speed are normal. I'll set this aside & perhaps have a good use for it someday.
Before dinner, I raked some of the dead grass inside our circular drive that the riding mower spit out yesterday, into piles.
Dinner: Salmon spaghetti & a mixed salad.
Evening movie: "One Sunday Afternoon" with Gary Cooper, Fay Wray, Neil Hamilton, Frances Fuller, etc. Cooper is at boyish best in this original version of James Hagan's play about a turn-of-the-century dentist & how his infatuation with a sexy vamp (Wray) who weds his rival almost ruins his marriage & his life. Touching & lovingly made piece of Americana. 1933. Kathy thought it was a little slow but charming nevertheless.
Lights out: 12:12am
