Awake: 6:05am Temp 46 sleep 6+03 partly sunny... windy overnight @ Nicktown.
After our KK meeting & back in our motorhome, Katrina called en route to her school this morning. She had a question about buying a set of tires for her Subaru. Since she scraped the sidewall on one tire, that tire developed a bubble & she's been advised to replace all (4) tires.
I'm pretty sure she has all wheel drive. If her car was brand new & that happened, she could easily use the spare & buy a new tire ASAP; but her car is coming up on (2) yrs of age & she has put some miles on those tires.
Her question: should she buy Michelins or Bridgestone? The price was fairly close she told us. All that I could say was that I have used Michelins since the early sixty's & have never been disappointed.
After breakfast, K & I sat down @ our table & one by one, using the schematic diagram of our house plans, checked all of the windows & their placements & only had one area that didn't seem to be right.
Later, our KK club member, John, brought over a bag of Northern spy apples & Kathy got right after the peeling & cutting...which ended in producing a large 9 x13 Pyrex dish of "apple crisp."
Next, K & I took a walk for exercise around the town for (1.4) miles. On the return trip, I was looking down toward the ground & noticed a piece of metal in the solid earth. I dug the item out, cleaned it up & it turned out to be a (10) carat gold ring. Here is Pedometer sitting on the golden ring.
After our walk, we checked on today's progress & fiound Bernie & some of his crew setting the forms for the elevator footing.
Due to the cool weather & heavy rain these last few days, our concrete pouring for the basement was pushed back to Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. We were not happy about that but we are not the only ones building in the area.
Just Before we left, Bernie stopped us & said that he almost forgot to tell us the good news. He made a few phone calls earlier today & an opening came up so we can expect concrete trucks tomorrow. Whew!
@ 6:45pm, K & I met with high school classmates: Barry, Ernie, Janet, & Kitty @ the Nicktown Hotel & enjoyed a pizza & beer with some good ole updating & reminiscing of our teenage yrs.
It was good to again see Ernie who is still living in Chicago. Unfortunately, he recently lost his wife &,in need of diversion, he decided to make a quick visit to see his mother, siblings & other people around Nicktown.
@ 9:00pm, we called our RV friends Grace & Gary in Landenberg, PA & they updated us on their RV travels & other activities such as a volunteer job of rebuilding a friend's RV. Gary & Grace are the young couple who 1st got us interested in a home that sort of looked like an airplane.
They have had a very busy summer....just like we have had.. Interesting isn't it: we retire & then get busier than when we were working a job.
Lights out: 11:10pm.
