Awake: 6:12am Temp 66 sleep 6+13 sunny -- forecast of TRW's overnight @ Nicktown.
After our KK meeting & breakfast in our M.H., Barry called & asked if I would be interested in riding to Altoona with him this afternoon. "Yes I would," I told him. He had a few calls to make & then he would pick me up he said.
This would be the 1st time to ride in Barry's van, which is an appliance repair shop on wheels. The van was smooth & quiet, which allowed us to have casual conversations along the way. I am not too familiar with the streets in Altoona but we did pass one of the malls & Macy's en route to the Carnegie Equipment Store. By the way, this is not Barry's van.
A few weeks ago, that Macy's we passed was toured by Kathy & me; she was looking for a suitable dress.
Barry was picking up (3) new noodle cutters that will be religiously used in the church hall. We spent about (25) min there & I scoured most of their kitchen goodies.
One thing I was most attracted to was this portable Induction stove.
& then we returned to Nicktown.
Barry & I are avid airplane nuts so this trip was quite suitable for reminiscing the ole days of our aviation.
Back @ our M.H., Kathy & I toured our house to see what progress the builders had made today. Meanwhile, a storm was brewing; we returned to our M.H. just as the 1st few drops of rain came down. Within minutes, strong gusts of wind blew the cover off of my Pump House. I didn't want the contents to be blown all over the neighborhood so I quickly went outside & re-attached that lid & sped back inside.
The lid remained on the Pump House but then we lost electricity. Our battery pack instantly took over the electrical usage but we didn't know how long it would take to get our power back, so we held off dinner for awhile. Watching the weather report, it appeared that we might be without power for quite a spell; two of our (3) phones had no dial tone so using the cell phone, I called my near neighbor Al & left a message.
An hour went by & we were getting hungry, so I turned on our (20) KW generator & later, Kathy called for dinner. About (2) hrs later, neighbor Chuck called & asked if I had power; I told him that we didn't have outside power but were using generator power. He had a few other questions about our M.H., & was about to hang up when he said: "hey, Shirley just told me the power's back on."
Dinner: sausage, onions, & mushrooms with tomato sauce & toast.
Lights out: 11:27pm.
