A Little of This, a Little of That

I was able to lie in the hammock for 25 minutes without a book or my iPad. And I did not jump up to water the plants or pull weeds. It was so relaxing; however, I did observe that most people are in a hurry most of the time as evidenced by the speed they drive down our 25MPH street.

My Sweetie bought me the best folding chair. No more lugging the beach umbrella and a chair.


The same Sweetie is at an Indians game tonight. Unfortunately, they are continuing to lose, 6-3. Maybe they will rally. Only two innings left to create magic.

I went to a class on wiring an outdoor outlet sponsored by a fantastic non-profit, Home Repair Resource Center.

The instructor Jim is a hoot. He always has a story to tell about home repair. Tonight's was the time that he had been in a face cast for re-setting a broken nose and cheekbone from a teenage auto accident. He has just gotten the cast off and was supposed to be resting but he was bored so he decided to do some wiring in the service panel. He contacted a live wire and hit himself in the nose with his screwdriver, re-breaking his almost healed nose. His imitation of the Indian doctor's reaction was priceless. Back into the face cast he went.

I amused him and the other members of the class by answering Jim's question: "What is the first thing you do when you are going to work with electricity?"

My answer? "Call an electrician."

Now I am going to pack up more of the kitchen. So far there are three empty cupboards. I hope the Building Inspector allows me to use the boxes.
