The House is Sold

Kathy drove the pickup, with the U-Haul trailer, back up to Lebanon on Sunday. She picked up our check for the house this afternoon. She will be heading back to TN tomorrow.

This week we will get our TN drivers licenses and get our vehicle plates changed to TN. By the end of the week we will be Volunteers instead of Hoosiers.

I goofed around most of yesterday. This afternoon I put up a mailbox in front of our building. The dirt is DRY & HARD, digging was TOUGH! I also sprayed for bugs around our building.

While I was down there several neighbors stopped to chat. We will have to spend some time catching up with them when Kathy gets back.

Temperatures were in the mid 80's but the humidity was low enough that it didn't feel to bad. The low tonight is forecast to be 59, it is already down to 62.

Good night to all and may God bless you and yours.

May 19th - Mt Ranier

Image
This morning I went to Walmart to get a prescription refilled. On the way back I snapped the photos below. It is quite interesting how people level off an area on the side of a hill and build houses. The spots you see, half way up the hillside, are homes.  The white hump in the center of the photo below is Mt. Ranier. It is about 70 miles from where I took the photo. We decided to go take a closer look at Mt Ranier today. That required retracing about 70 miles of what we drove yesterday, but we figured it was worth it because the scenery is breathtaking. We stopped along the road and I took a photo of the road ahead. The "line" across the photo is the road as it goes across the face of the "mountainside".  This is a photo of the the slope over the side of the guard rail. Note the pattern of the pine trees near the top of the photo.  The photo below is also over the side of the guardrail but shows what is above the previous photo. You can match them with the pine tre...

Apr 24th - Pick Up Kathy

Yesterday and today the weather was scheduled to be partly sunny. It drizzled rain on and off all day yesterday and all morning today. There is some sun right now. Yesterday I painted the carpet ball game and this morning Frank put on the finishing trim. It is now 100% complete. At 7:30 this morning I went up to the bathroom I have been working on, move the toilet base from outside to inside and turned the heater on so that everything would be warm for the new wax ring. Then I went back to the RV and had breakfast. After breakfast I went back and set the toilet. I went out and turned the water on ( the valve we had initially shut off served a pair of trailers). I was surprised at the very low water pressure. I couldn't imagine how anyone could take a shower with such low pressure. I kept playing with the valve in the toilet tank trying to get some water. Finally I figured something had to be wrong. I walked out and around the other trailer and water was pouring out of the wate...

Sept 22nd - Tried Out 0the New Saw

Image
I cut a couple of logs in two with my new chain saw. It did OK, but I'm not going to like the "break-in" procedure. You aren't supposed to run it at full throttle for the first couple of tankfuls of gas, that is going to take FOREVER. The "good stuff" that I have been cutting is HARD. Cutting 15-20" diameter logs at less than full throttle is a pain. I forgot to include this photo in one of my previous posts. Kelsey took it the morning Kathy was in the hospital. Lydia had been smiling but when I asked Kelsey to take the photo the smile went away.  Kelsey & Lydia left Kathy a note the evening that she had surgery. Kathy was still out of it and barely remembered them being their. The note on the side says, "We love you Grammy". It is signed Love Kelsey & Lydia.  Below is part of our wood pile. I have between 1.5 and 2 cords in the lean-to over the wood furnace. This stack is about 7' tall and 16' long. There are probably two pick...
