Awake: 6:31am    Temp 59    sleep 4+57     forgot to check the weather.      Nicktown.

Kathy made one of my favorite breakfast meals this morning: corned-beef hash with 2-eggs over easy with bacon. Somehow the beef was not up to my high standards but I am still thankful, honored & delighted to have married such a swell lady & a darn good cook.

Later, I got after the choke glitch on Gary's motor-generator; it took about (5) min to correct. It is running normal once more. Next, I dismantled the generator section. Using my Fluke meter, I made little progress. My 1^st cousin Florentz recalled repairing a unit similar to Gary's; he mentioned that either the magnetism on the generator has gone flat or it has a capacitor that needs charging that starts the magnetism. I can do no more today on that project.

Dinner: Sirloin steak with sautéed mushrooms, baked potato, broccoli & cauliflower + a spinach salad.

Kathy called & talked with Michelle in Ohio. It is my Aunt Bertha's 98^th birthday on May 27^th & we wanted to know where to send a card. Mickey suggested just sending it to Bertha in care of Mickey, as she will have to read it to her due to her macular degeneration. A pizza & cake party at Mickey & Roger's place is the planned celebration.

We finished the movie: "Light in the Piazza" with Olivia de Havilland, Rossano Brazzi, Yvette Mimieux, George Hamilton, & Barry Sullivan. Splendid soaper about mother who's anxious to marry off retarded daughter but isn't sure she's being fair to suitor. Beautifully filmed on location in Italy. 1962. Don't miss this one, it's a keeper.

 Lights out: 12:09 am.
