Awake: 6:45am Temp 58
sleep 6+54 sunny-windy overnight @ Nicktown.
After we exercised in
Barnesboro, we did some light grocery shopping @ Giant Eagle & then returned
to Nicktown.
I visited the house & talked with Bob, Bernie's brother &
partner. He mentioned that they would like us to make a decision by Monday on (3)
items. Then he showed me the particulars in detail. I agreed to have that taken
care of by Monday morning.
After our late breakfast, Kathy started doing (3)
loads of laundry; that means I had to fill the M.H.s pure water tank, twice.
In
between the water works, I wanted to find out why our septic system motor is
not spraying the liquid into our leach field when I flip the circuit breaker switches
on. It's been about (2-3) weeks that this system has not worked & these
nice days won't last. 1st I opened a connection box down in the
field & that wiring was ok. Next, I unscrewed (8) screws & opened the
box attached to the electrical post; I should have taken a picture. Whatever
lived in the box...winter or summer, he/she made a mess, chewed some insulation
off of (3) wires that was shorting out my motor. I cleaned out the box, wrapped
tape around the chewed wires, closed the hole with Tyvek where the creature
came in & used a lot of Duck tape to, hopefully, prevent this from happening
again.
Tonight, we've been invited to a surprise birthday party for one of our
KK members; we were told to arrive before 7:30pm
@ the Nicktown party basement. John & I agreed to arrive a little earlier
to get a good seat. John was waiting for us when we arrived around 6:30pm. Down in the basement, all the chairs
were not yet organized. We offered to help but the guys said no.
We were not
the only early birds; we were seated about 6:45
& in came the crowd, 2-3-4
@ a time. In no time @ all, ¾ of the seating was filled & the crowd was
asked to hush-hush.
Finally, a different & smaller group was heard coming
down the stairs.....the door opened...& it was....."BILL." We sang the "Happy
Birthday" song & the usual somewhat talkative Bill was: "speechless"! He
truly was surprised. Nice job brothers.
As the evening moved forward, more
& more family members, 1st cousins, friends, etc showed up for
the occasion of Bill's 70th birthday. Good pizza & good beer was
served to the thirsty & hungry, crowd & later, birthday cake. It was
another fun filled surprise birthday party that brought a lot of the town's
people together.... near & far.
We returned to our M.H. about 9:30pm. One thing I definitely want to
investigate tomorrow will be: our Suzuki is not giving us warm air even with
the engine warmed up; twice today on short trips.
Lights out: 12:06am.
