Awake: 5:55am Temp 61 sleep 6+07 mostly cloudy overnight @ Nicktown.
After the KK meeting, Barry invited me to watch & help him, Ken, & Bill change a light bulb above the altar in the church.
About (2) weeks ago, Barry talked about this project that not just anyone can do...change a light bulb!
1st, Ken & I went into the garage & brought out a (42) ft ladder; then with Barry & Bill's help, we carried it into the church & up to the altar. There Barry had a special carpet (almost skid proof) where we raised the ladder up to the wall to access a very narrow & small door.
Ken, who is much younger than I, went up the ladder 1st with the (300) watt bulb, a flashlight, & a few other tools in a box. After watching how clumsy it was to squeeze thru the slim door, I thought maybe Ken could use some help. I did ok going thru the door but once inside, it was so dark I couldn't see anything, so I called for Ken to show me some light.
Here I had passed the crude ladder to climb even higher & after that maneuver, it wasn't so bad. I held the flashlight & a screw while Ken replaced the burnt out bulb. There are (6) (300) watt bulbs located in this apex which light up the altar; climbing thru that skinny door is the only access.
Back on our property, my cousin Florentz visited for a short time; we discussed the generator & the theory of a non-charging capacitor that may be holding back the volts & amps on Gary's portable generator. Just talking about this charged up my ambition to make a phone call to the company in Nebraska & see what they think of that.
The young lady whom I spoke with was delighted to enlighten me on the subject; (5) min to understand her instructions & another (5) min to go outside to do the test & voilla, the generator is working again.
All the while, Kathy has been @ the Foote house doing some cleaning & organizing before they return from their bike ride.
I spent another hr diagnosing the control device of Sammy's Caterpillar toy; finally I think there is progress.
Dinner: Crab cake, cod Italiano, brown rice with golden raisins & a fruit salad.
From 6:30pm to 9:30pm, K & I attended the last lecture of CERT (Community Emergency Response Team.) All (3) sessions were most interesting & well presented. One never knows when some of this knowledge might come in handy.
We watched (2) of our recorded political programs.
Lights out: 12:18am.
