Tuesday 9 February 2010

Awake: 6:50am    Temp 52    sleep 6+52    early light rain    overnight @ San Diego, CA.

After breakfast, I called & paid our insurance coverage on our Suzuki for the yr 2010.

Next I spent some time drawing a schematic diagram of approximately where our house will be located on our property.

Also drew in the circular drive with locations of electric units, well water, sewage connections & final disposal area, power transformer, street names, etc. After a few hrs, I needed a break & got after another x-word puzzle.  

Sallie called to make sure Kathy was here; she wanted to visit & show Kathy what she has done with her 1^st drawing. She & Kathy scrutinized it pretty well, looks like a keeper!

Around 4:00pm, rain moved in for about (2) hrs which messed up our recorded political programs for the evening.

Dinner: turkey leftovers from my sister Mary Jo's Thanksgiving dinner & Kathy's mashed potatoes, gravy, mixed salad & grapes.

Evening movie; we finish watching: "Downhill Racer" with Robert Redford, Gene Hackman, Camilla, Sparv, Karl Michael Vogler, Jim McMullan, etc. Vivid study of an empty life, with Redford as small-town egotist who joins U.S. Olympic ski team. Basically a character study; problem is an unappealing character. Dazzling ski scenes make lulls worth enduring. 1969. Fantastic ski scenes & most interesting....some filming of actual Olympic racers.

The night is long & Kathy is so beautiful...so we started yet another movie: "The Americanization of Emily." We watch about 1/3^rd.

Lights out: 12:22am.
