Awake: 6:42am Temp 26 sleep 7+01 cloudy then snow overnight @ Nicktown.
1st thing this morning, Kathy dressed & visited Bob to check on the paint color in the Powder room & the entry color; she liked both. After breakfast, I motored to Spangler & visited Lloyd's Automatic Transmission Repair garage. They had just removed the Ford's transmission & had it on a roller cart.
I talked with Lloyd about the transmission & then returned to Nicktown.
Then later, K & I motored to the Indiana, PA shopping Mall where I dropped Kathy off for some light shopping. Then I continued to the Culligan water experts & picked up some literature on the latest technology of: getting the iron out of our well water. Next, we proceeded to the Foote Castle to baby sit the boys while I drove Melissa to the Dr. for a check on her new baby. After that, I drove across town & picked Kevin up from the Toyota Dealer & returned him to the University to continue his work day.
The Toyota van will be used for their transportation to Chicago in lieu of the Ford van. When I returned from delivering Kevin to his place of work, Kathy was reading a book with the boys; I was charged up & ready to be a gofer but 1st the boys had to have their snack.
Then it's up to the 3rd floor & more searching for Lego parts for both Andrew & Mathew. I got lucky with Matthew & found quite a few very small parts for his latest van that he cleverly made an easy lift out transmission (simulating the Ford van) & a separate double battery holder. I was so focused that I had left the camera downstairs....so no photo.
Then someone wanted to go to the basement; it was a bit crowded and Andrew was busy making signs for Matthew's workbench...either closed or open he wrote on the signs.
Mathew wanted me to wire up an old timer to get the motor running. I did & by gosh, it worked. It was geared so slow I didn't realize it was running until the boys convinced me to watch it closely. The Foote boys are more & more getting to be junior craftsmen. I enjoy working with them.
Evening movie: "Goodbye My Fancy" with Joan Crawford, Robert Young, Frank Lovejoy, Eve Arden. Congresswoman Crawford returns to her old college, more to see former boyfriend Young than to receive honorary degree. Lovejoy is callous newsman. 1951. The movie was so-so.
Lights out: 11:58pm.
