Awake: 6:42am Temp 44 sleep 7+03 light rain most of day...cold wind overnight @ Nicktown.
After our KK meeting, Kathy made a breakfast of: Steel cut Irish oats with chopped pecans, chopped walnuts & golden raisins....with milk. A hot breakfast for a change was well received by both of us.
REA energy Services, the guys who are doing our Geo Thermal heating & cooling project, must have arrived sometime during our KK meeting. So after breakfast, we changed into our winter clothes, put on our grubbiest shoes, grabbed our umbrellas & walked on the temporary muddy road to the basement area & introduced ourselves to the REA guys.
They had just started fastening down the geo tubes on the foam. It was so cold, windy & rainy that these guys really were not dressed for the job.
Bernie visited the work site twice but the REA guys had already left.
Dinner: Chili with Doritos Corn chips; the right meal for the weather.
We finished watching: "Phantom of the Opera" with Lon Chaney, Mary Philbin, Norman Kerry, Snitz Edwards, etc. Classic melodrama with Chaney as the vengeful composer who lives in the catacombs under the Paris Opera House, and kidnaps young Philbin as his singing protégée. Famous unmasking scene still packs a jolt, and the Bal Masque is especially impressive in two-color Technicolor. One of Chaney's finest hours. 1925.
Just when Kathy told me she does not like to read movies, we watched the 1925 version & it kept us awake & on guard to the finish. This movie has been made over by other actors & directors (6X) but this silent 1925 version was rated the best.
Interesting to compare this first rendering with the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical version.
Lights out: 12:17am.
