Kathy got up early & left with Theresa, Susie, &
Marlene @ 7:33am. They motored to MountAloysius to join the Catholic
Women's Conference for a Spiritual Gathering.
Meanwhile, I was a free man...for a while. After breakfast, I got
Chuck's Lawnboy, & brought it over to my mini shop for some surgery. It
took me about 1.5 hrs to disassemble the carburetor, along with the muffler,
etc; then give the float & the little breathing holes a good cleaning up by
removing the dirt, filth, or unwanted substances. After the reassembly, &
attaching a spring & a wire to the governor system, the Lawnboy roared to
life. I tested the mower for at least (5) min & then returned it to Chuck's
garage.
Break-time; I called John B. in the Indiana,
PA hospital. John sounded like a new man. He slept well, ate a full meal &
projected a more positive attitude. Great I say!
Next, I began taking the side panels off of Gary's
Coleman Powermate 1600 Sport Series Generator. After a few checks & a few
starts, I think this machine also has a carburetor problem. Unfortunately, I am
running out of time today. Kathy will be coming back soon & I need to clean
up.
K & I attended the 6:00pm
vigil Mass @ St. Ncholas Church &, afterward, we
visited the Nicktown Hotel bar for pizza & some Shock Top beer. During our
time there, we talked with Bernie about house plans & codes, etc. It was a
good evening.
Back @ our coach, we finished watching: "Summertime" with Katharine
Hepburn, Rossano Brazzi, Isa Miranda, Darren McGavin, Mari Aldon, etc. Lilting
film of spinster vacationing in Venice,
falling in love with married man. Hepburn's sensitive portrayal is one of her
best. 1955. Well done with some touching moments.
