Monday, April 22nd, 2019…... Last
night I rethought my gfci situation. I think I want to try a new switch. I’m
not sure if the one I put in yesterday is new or not and, if not, I may have
issues. We took care of the dogs and then I went out of the garage to go to the
truck. I decided to hit the reset switch and see how long it takes to trip.
Well, it didn’t! I asked Lydia to keep an eye on it and call me in 20 mins. I
took off to Home Depot, stopping by the post office along the way. Lydia texted
me that the power was still on. Hmmm. Earlier, I had called Dana, to ask her to
recommend an electrician. She called back and I told her what I was
experiencing. She said that any moisture from outside can get in and may be the
problem. Once it dries, it goes away. I continued on and got the new switch but
I will wait until there is another issue before changing it out. Crisis averted
for now….
I got back and helped Lydia with the
setup on her phone. We moved things around, killed alarms, changed ringtones
and notifications, etc. and she was happy.
Then I went out and got the lawn rake
hooked on to the tractor and swept up the grass clippings from the lawn. It
looks good now, just a little high still but another mowing next week will take
care of that. I finally feel that we’re caught up with the neighbors now and no
the shaggy lawn on the block.
Tuesday, April 23rd, 2019…… This morning the weather was a
little cloudy. There was a 20% chance of rain but we never saw any here at all.
I got the dogs out and walked and then in and fed and then made breakfast here.
Still having issues with the power in the garage.
I had to call Dana again. I told
them that after I got back home, the box had tripped. So, I put on the new gfci
plug. It is still tripping. Later, Kirk looked at it and called one of his
carpenter buddies, who was stumped, and then another one who will try to get
out to take a look. Meanwhile, Lydia had gone to the shuttle stop to pick up my
sister, who has returned from her Utah trip. We had gone earlier to get her car
from the house and when they got back here, it was about 2:30pm so we all went
back to her place, along with Quincy, who prefers her car to ours. She dropped
her off and since none of us had eaten since breakfast, we headed to Ixtapa for
an early linner. We got back to my sister’s and picked up our car and once we
got home, we settled our own programs for a bit then together watched Master
Chef and one Blacklist before calling it a night.
Wednesday, April 24th, 2019…... Today, it was back to normal. I only had Rylee
to take out and we did our normal walk, then I went out and got us
coffee/tea/breakfast. Eric, from Pointe Pest Control is coming today to do the
quarterly treatment. We have seen these really super tiny black spiders in our
bathroom so he will be doing the inside treatment also this time.
Eric came
later in the day. I had some time to clean up some of my wood that was both piled
up and standing up outside against the shop. I managed to get all of that
cleaned up. Eric sprays out there as well so that will help alleviate any
spiders and wasp nests. No one has come out to look at the electrical.
Lydia
fixed dinner and we spent the evening watching tv until bedtime. Tonight it was
Survivor and The Amazing Race so we’re caught up on those now.
