Awake: 6:28am Temp 45 sleep 5+30 sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
After our KK meeting, John B & I exercised @ the community center while Kathy joined the gang who are making noodles @ the church hall. After I finished working out, I delivered the Stihl weed whacker to its rightful owner.
Then, I had a healthy breakfast before I got after the portable power mate generator once again. I've been told by the former makers of this generator to check both diodes on the armature as they have been know to go bad & not work the exciter. Using my Fluke meter, I found (1) diode completely zip & the other very weak...so I got on the phone & called the company who sells the parts & ordered (2) new diodes.
Late afternoon, K & I motored to Ebensburg & then rode with my brother Don & his wife Josie in their car to the town of Lilly to help celebrate our sister Corinne's 63rd birthday. To begin with, we sat on their back porch, drinking some wine while gabbing & eating delicious organic cashews for a good (40) min; then we spotted Sister Jane walking slowly back to the house with (2) large boxes of Pizza. Now we're talking!
With the pizza & the broccoli salad that Sister Jane made for the special occasion, we continued feeding our bodies with several trips in & out of the house to get refills of pizza, wine, & broccoli salad.
The evening temperature promoted a move inside & then, after more yak-yak, dessert was served...one of Corinne's favorite dishes & mine as well; cherry pie ala mode. Thank you, Corinne & Jane, for making our visit a most enjoyable celebration of Corinne's birthday. And.....another nice family gathering for us & them.
Lights out: 12:15am.
