Awake: 5:50am Temp 53 sleep 6+10 fog....cloudy overnight @ Nicktown.
When walking over to the KK meeting this morning, we passed Dave's truck & something in the bed of his truck caught our eyes; it was an old mowing tractor.
Several yrs ago, during one of our meetings, Dave talked about a tractor that was just setting around out of the weather & was free for the asking. I wasn't interested in his proposal to: just go out & get it. I had the 1986 Snapper that worked fairly well. Both John & I looked at this old weathered machine & we thought it might be fixable. I shouldn't have done it but I buckled & told Dave that I would take it.
With help from John, Dave, & Barry, (Barry went & got his portable air tank & pumped up the tires), using planks, we got it off the truck & covered it up in case of rain. I gave Dave $10.00 for hauling it & later, I pushed it closer to the M.H., & covered it more security.
This morning, Bernie scheduled Bob & Adam to help him to re-distribute our power source that the M.H. & camp sites use.
I unplugged our (50) amps from our site & Bernie shut all circuit breakers off.Then they started pulling the electrical lines from the conduit & connecting them to the house power & reversing the power back into our M.H. & campsite power boxes.
Thus, the power we use afterward, will be coming from the house & it's meter system.
The old meter is now disconnected.
And this is the new meter on the house.
Next, using the construction workers wheelbarrow, I went down into the field & made 7 or 8 trips with roots & stumps & dumped them onto the burn pile.
Yesterday @ the Foote Castle, I told Kevin & Melissa about my burn pile & invited them to join us on Saturday to get rid of any burnable things they might have. They were both interested & will let us know.
Next, I took my small sickle & cut some growing weeds on our leach bed in order to expose the pipes. While I was doing all of this, Kathy was continuing the painting of the inside doors on our house.
Around 5:30 pm, my brother called to let us know that he, Josie, & Chris (from Norway) were en route to our M.H. We agreed to give Chris a tour of our house & afterward, have some pizza & beer @ the Nicktown Bar.
This was a Rotary thing from my brother's town & Chris had been chosen from his hometown in Norway to spend a month seeing some sights in PA. We enjoyed talking with Chris; his English was quite good & we learned a few things about his country.
Lights out: 11:26pm.
