Monday, July 9th, 2018…… This morning I had
planned on spending some time at my sister’s house, doing odd jobs. So, I got up early and did my walk with Rylee
and ate breakfast and then headed over. First up was her new front screen
door. That went better than I imagined
although I need to make a filler strip for the top section. She will be buying
a door sweep for the bottom. The door is actually not square from when it was
first installed (these are tract homes) so these items will help. I then worked
on her dvr hookup. Got that working but the dvr itself is not working right
(the load/eject feature doesn’t work). She will be getting another one soon. I
worked a bit on the back door. She has French
doors that look great but don’t line up well so the deadbolt is very hard to
operate. I did the best I could but
these doors are entry level and she has to decide whether to deal with it or
replace them down the road. Loose window screens were next. There were several that just needed the
screen splines reworked. That was no
problem. Next up was the kitchen faucet. Not much to fix here. Maybe a washer
down the road but for now we’re good. Last item was the gutters. She had some moss growing in the trench but
overall not too bad. She doesn’t want me
on the roof so she will hire a neighbor kid to go up there with my pressure
washer and knock the moss off the roof and then flush out the dirt in the
gutters. After that, I came home and rested for a while. Then it was my turn to
work on my place. I got out the bracket for the satellite dish and got that
mounted on the rear wall of the rv garage. Then got the dish mounted and then I
fixed the end of the coax and got that hooked up. I called Lydia out and we got
on our cell phones so she could help me aim the dish. It only took a few
minutes to get a good strong signal and we were done. So, with 50 amps and
water, and now Directv, we have another room for guests! I still need to get
the coach out and over to an RV detailer in Sweet Home to get it washed and
waxed. We will then do the inside
ourselves and then have the carpets cleaned when we do the house. But its
nice to have the job now complete! We relaxed and played with Rylee and ate a
light dinner and watched tv until bedtime.
Tuesday, July 10th, 2018…… Nothing on the agenda today. I decided I would
work on putting up on the shop the matching security light that’s on the rv
garage. But I started watching the Tour
de France and then thought I should wait until the sun got off that part of the
building. Turns out I skipped out on that
too! Maybe tomorrow….
Lydia made a
squiggly noodle casserole for dinner tonight and we sat down and watched two
episodes of America’s Got Talent. We’re slowly getting caught up!
Wednesday, July 11th, 2018…… HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEFF!!! We called and spoke with him for a few
minutes. He was at work. We’ll call later this evening when they are both home.
Today was our appointment for pedicures (both) and manicure (Lydia). That is
always relaxing. We came back home and I didn’t want to do anything for the
rest of the day! So, I relaxed and watched the Tour de France. It’s day 5 and it’s getting interesting. Later,
we called and talked with both Jeff and Krista and wished them a HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
Hard to believe it was a year ago that
we met them in Vegas for their wedding day!
Krista wasn’t feeling well (got sick from the plane flight!) so we didn’t
keep them too long. We decided that we wouldn’t fix dinner since both of us had
late lunches. We loaded up monster puppy and drove over to Sweet Home. I needed to stop by the Elks lodge. Seems they still don't have my address right. That completed, we drove into town and got gas and then stopped by the Dairy Queen for dessert. Yummy! When we got home we did watch the last two Brother vs Brother episodes so that finale is done. Just a few more shows to get caught up on….
