Awake: 5:55am Temp 58 sleep 5+42 light rain...morning overnight @ Nicktown.

After our exercise & breakfast, K & I got serious about the "hunt." I want to finish the Fatima Shrine project by using a waterproof junction box & finding a suitable size has been a nuisance; they are either too small or too large.

We started by visiting Bobik's Home Center in Spangler; I gave the attendant a description of what I was looking for. He told me he didn't carry anything that big in junction boxes but I wanted to look in the electrical aisle anyway. "That's the largest we have" he says, & I was about ready to turn around & leave when my eyes caught hold of a larger junction box on another shelf. "I think this will work" I told the attendant but I do want to check the competition.

Strollo's Building Material didn't have anything close to Bobik's, so I purchased the Junction Box from Bobik's.

Back in Nicktown, I dropped Kathy off @ our motorhome, & then visited the area where the Junction Box will be located. I made a quick check to be sure the transformer will fit inside the box...& it did, so the hunt is over. Amazing, after visiting the Tractor Supply store & Trader Horn, both in Indiana, PA; Lowe's in Johnstown; & Krumenacker Hardware in Nicktown, the coveted junction box was a mere (3) miles down the road.

Dinner: halibut, brown & wild rice & a fruit salad.

Evening time: I attended a holy name meeting @ the church hall. Much discussion was focused on replacing the church roof. In fact, Father Job would like us all to attend another meeting tomorrow specifically addressing this matter. At the meeting, I talked to Joel about borrowing his hammer drill now that I have a suitable junction box. He said he would bring those tools with him to tomorrow's meeting.

I had left Kathy watching another DVD movie to further check out our unit. When I returned, the movie was not playing & she informed me that the freezing problem was nearly as bad as it was before.

Lights out: 11:56pm
