Awake: 6:02am Temp 57 sleep 6+34 sunny
overnight @ Nicktown.
After breakfast, Kathy started a load of laundry
& then went to the big cities of Barnesboro & Spangler.
Meanwhile, our
Teddy heater blew a fuse a few days ago when we wanted more heat in our living
room. So I crawled into the basement, found the motor, lubricated the armature
sleeves, both ends, with some good grease, & used a screwdriver to rotate
the fan on the armature so it would loosen up. Next I replaced the fuse &
then switched on the Teddy heater motor. Zap, went another fuse.
Hmm, maybe my
Delo Grease EP was too thick & not penetrating enough. Krumenacker Hardware
here I come. Herm suggested the "Blaster" which breaks loose faster. He told me
they have been selling a lot of it. Ok, so I repeated the process ... & this
time, I sprayed the armature sleeve ends close to the motor, replaced the fuse,
waited a few minutes, turned the armature using the screwdriver to rotate the
fan which seemed to be turning a lot more freely, & then threw the switch.
Bingo! Teddy was back in business.Whew!
Dinner: Sesame seed encrusted Tuna, acorn
squash stuffed with northern spy apple slices, mixed bowl of vegetables, &
rice with golden raisins.
Heavy rain started @ 6:45pm
& messed up our watching the political programs scheduled for tonight. Then
something even better replaced our political programs: Zack! He called us &
gave us an update of his trip to Boston.
When I asked about the computers talking with each other, he told us that most
of the computers were NOT talking so good. His company computer was just as
sour as the other competitors.
Then he told us about the engagement party that
he & Katie are hosting for themselves. It's destined to be quite a
gathering as they have already invited over (60) friends.
Lights out: 12:13am.
