Awake: 6:51am Temp 18
sleep 7+23 sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
After our KK
meeting, I went straight down to the laboratory & pondered over my sick
hall tree.
The (20) year old epoxy was very slow when curing; the (6) year old
epoxy was very fast when curing; .... You guessed it; it cured so quickly that I
couldn't get the top section into the middle section of the hall tree. No
picture? Too embarrassing! If I had reversed the procedure, using the (20) year
epoxy, the hall tree would have been finished by now. Ouch!
I wasn't happy
& neither was Kathy...but her disappointment was different: she spent about
(2) hours on the phone with the government getting our address changed for Medicare.
She was transferred to (3) different people, the last being sales where she had
to re-apply for Medicare. Since she didn't have the application form in front
of her the sales rep had to read all the fine print, ugh! However, she asked if
Kathy just wanted her to speed read it, which she did.
Kathy found it quite amusing & when she
had to go thru the same scenario to change my address, she asked the sales rep
if she had ever timed herself. She said she had tried but it hadn't worked, so
Kathy timed her (2min 18 sec). She said she had been in this job for 6 yrs
& the most she had gone thru this in one day was 14 times. Kathy & the
sales rep actually wound up having a fun time. Kathy also did some clothes ironing.
Late afternoon, I used our Suzuki to take a letter to our post office &
coming back into our garage, I noticed water dripping from an outside faucet. I
tried several times to shut the dripping off to no avail. Later on, I called
Bob, the builder, @ his home & told him about this. He said he would come
over & check it out. He arrived about (20) min later & after he studied
the problem, he said he would be over tomorrow to replace the faucet.
Our mail
from Alaska was forwarded to us
today, so I spent some time opening envelopes. Dinner: "hodgepodge" soup &
later evening, popcorn.
Lights out: 11:25pm.
