Awake: 6:08am Temp 52 sleep 6+10 partly sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
After attending the KK meeting, we accompanied several of our KK members to the children's 9:30 Mass. It's always interesting to see the school children read & sing during their special Mass.
Back @ our motorhome, we witnessed the guys from Bassett, cementing the side walls with block that steps the downgrade slope....in prep for tar, & then brick.
Zack called while driving to the dentist in Seattle; his car has a built in microphone & speaker so he can easily keep his hands on the wheel.
He took the time to explain his (6) day business trip to Boston & return. It was all about languages that different computers use; so he & his boss will be in a large room with other computer gurus & attempt to learn or understand the languages of their computers that may have an advantage for Zack's company. Hey, that's the best I could understand.
Next, Kathy had wanted to do more walking than what we do now, so off she went with our pedometer while I continued the trouble shooting on Al's Big Bear Quad. Al did buy a replacement air filter so that was an easy fix. The old filter nearly crumpled when I removed it.
And here is the new replacement filter.
Next I attempted to change out the starter solenoid...but the replacement did not match up with what was already there.
I made a call to Al's house but no body was home, & so I left a message. The starter Solenoid can be seen by looking for the cleanest item....middle top.
My next project was: our Stir-Crazy popcorn popper which quit working. I figured it was a kaput sensor ...& so it was, but it took (2) tries to find a good sensor that was workable.
During our time in Alaska, I purchase at least (6) or more sensors from an appliance store in the event I might need more in the future. The last time I went to buy a few more, he wouldn't sell just the sensors; he thought I was in the business of commercial repairing, taking his repair business away.
Years ago, nearly all of our kids had their own pre-owned Stir-Crazy popcorn popper....due to buying used ones that had bad sensors @ the thrift stores. Long since, I'm sure they have purchased the latest style of corn popper.
Oh yes, when Kathy returned, the pedometer read: (3.1) miles. She felt good about that walk.
Dinner: clam chowder, leftover eggplant parmesan with sour dough bread.
Tonight's movie with popcorn: "Ship of Fools" with Vivien Leigh, Oskar Werner, Simone Signoret, Jose Ferrer, Lee Marvin, Jose Greco, George Segal, Elizabeth Ashley, etc. Grand Hotel at sea in pre-WW2 days. Superb cast including Leigh, in her last film, as disillusioned divorcee, Werner and Signoret as illicit lovers, Marvin as punchy baseball player. 1965. Great story....don't pass it up.
Lights out: 12:50am.
