Awake: 6:43am Temp 39 sleep 7+02 mostly sunny overnight @ Nicktown, PA.
Mid morning, I topped our pure water tank off in prep for traveling. Then we visited the Foote Castle & family for the remainder of the afternoon.
Déjà vu; Matthew & I had so much fun last Tuesday pulling out solid state devices from the old dish washer circuit board that he couldn't wait to do it again. So down to the basement we went. After testing the units we rescued, Matthew collected them in a plastic container to be experimented with later using his Snap Circuit Electronics kit.
Due to running out of usable resistors, capacitors, transistors, etc from the old Circuit board, we decided to take apart a non-working iron manufactured in Korea. At 1st, I was gentle in my disassembly & truly intended to find the problem. But, so much plastic & un-snapping sections that had to be done just right, discouraged my direction & so I tore into this high-tech machine with vigor & collected some more parts (electronic) that were added to Matthew's growing collection.
Kathy played with Andrew & Nathan & held Gregory for a short time. I also spent a little time with both Andrew & Nathan before we said our goodbyes to the Foote family. We did some last minute grocery shopping at Wal-Mart on our way back to Nicktown.
Dinner: leftover stuffed pepper, carrot salad, & a fruit salad.
Evening movie: "The World's Greatest Athlete" with John Amos, Jan-Michael Vincent, Tim Conway, Roscoe Lee Browne, Howard Cosell, etc. Hard luck coach Amos returns to his roots in Africa & discovers super-athlete Vincent; enjoyable Disney comedy with excellent special effects. Cosell's classic line: "I've never seen anything like this in my entire illustrious career." 1973. Ah, Disney comedy didn't really give us much laughter nor did we go wild over the special effects. Sorry Walt!
Lights out: 11:48pm.
