Awake: 6:50am     Temp 51     sleep 6+47     partly cloudy & windy   overnight @ Nicktown.

Kathy left the KK (koffee klub) early to help make noodles @ the church hall. After our koffee klub meeting adjourned, I picked up our forwarded mail from Alaska; then made a call to the Spangler Senior Center & reserved seats for (4) people for lunch tomorrow.

Next, I took apart one of our land-line phones, the one we call: "the Brick," a 1980 AT&T unit that was given to me (2) yrs ago. It worked well until I plugged it in just recently.

When I took "the Brick" apart, I was amazed to see so much electronics in both the cradle & the headset; & that was (30) yrs ago. As you know, today the cell phones are no bigger than your hand with bundles of different uses: i.e. camera, GPS, full keyboard for texting, (3) way calling, voice mail, speaker phone, different ring tones, vibrating mode, check your minutes used, etc.

Trouble shooting "the Brick" was not an option; I didn't care to spend the time or get that involved with a (30) yr old phone. I could only try & charge the battery in the hand-set...so for the remainder of the day, the battery was getting charged.

Kathy returned from her noodle making around 1:05pm. She perused thru some of her mail & then started washing (3) loads of laundry.

Meanwhile, I cleaned the co-pilot's mirror on the coach & then hung the Humming bird feeder from the European mirror. Earlier today I saw (1) humming bird & that triggered the feeder hanging.  

Dinner: leftover stuffed peppers, Waldorf salad on romaine lettuce & a cutie.

We watched 1/4^th of the movie: "Kitty."

Lights out: 11:26pm.
