14 Sep 2021, Pahrump Day 14

Narrative: I’m finding that I just don’t have the time to keep up with the news. I have to listen to more tan one version of a story before I start trusting that the story is true. Truth has many forms since George Floyd’s death.

I am going to continue to work this room to get the clutter out of our way. So much of what remains has very little value to the estate.

I Need to call the Home Insurance company, they probably don’t know that Patricia is passed.

Telescope is bedded down for the day.

A little more to do, but the other desks need a quick sort first.

13 Sep 2021, Pahrump Day 13

Narrative: Worked on our filing today there is so much chaff among the wheat that I totally missed that the home insurance lapsed in August. I called the agent, they are trying to get a new policy stood up.

This is my project for today.

Doesn’t look like much, but it took me all day.

12 Sep 2021, Pahrump Day 12

Narrative: Opened the rest of their mail today, bills first then personal letters. We’ll get to the medical stuff later. We’ve got to consolidate all the tax documents as soon as possible. (We probably have a complete history of taxes from their home.) It’s an unmanageable pile at the moment. We also have to organize their monthly bills, we’ll get reimbursed for them eventually.

COVID cases are finally returning to normal for Georgia, albeit slowly.

No pictures of the sky last night, waay too cloudy!

We are changing all of our itinerary to the new dates cept I messed up the flight reservations on Delta. Should not have tried to do it on my phone! Delta called me back and corrected my mistake, whew!

We’re loosing the bearings in the motor for the air handler in my dad’s home. It’s been shaking for a while, but i didn’t have the reins to fix things yet. The service guy is here working on the unit, he says it’s a bear to work on because it’s behind a door and in a corner.

All fixed, he put a little larger motor that required a capacitor. All I care about is that it turns and blows cold air for several months.

Not sure about tonight, there is just a few too many clouds out there. I assembled the telescope, set it to the North Star and aligned the mount before turning it over to the driver in Florida.

The clouds headed east and we had clear skies about the time it got dark. So the telescope is running it’s program for the evening.

Pulled the telescope inside this morning, it’s going to be HOT again today. (108)

I’m replacing the sun shields that have blown off the front of the house out here. I ran out of the string that holds it onto the home, need to make a run to THD.

Just got back from WM, it’s a full sized store with TWO checkout lanes and one of them is the cigarette lane. The line was 15 people deep!

Checked out the DMV map , the place was packed at 09:00. Need to have a plan for getting the tags repaired on the van.

We drove to the first Real Estate place on Pahrump’s main road (LBRE) and they had a Notary to get our Oath signed. Kelli – Lisa Bond Real Estate (lbrenv.com) was very helpful and had some good advice for our situation. (Thank You)

We had dinner at our Favorite restaurant Lakeside Casino & RV Park (lakesidecasinopahrump.com) . After dinner we talked about the difficulties from this week and went to bed.

I’m replacing the sun shields that have blown off the front of the house out here. I’m not very good at it yet. LOL They made a huge difference in the comfort level of my dad’s home. I haven’t proven the air conditioner works less, but we are both more comfortable with them.

This is about all I have left of my parents.

COVID cases are still climbing up for Georgia. We’re headed toward the record high for the state we had back in January.

Custom built….

Safe inside today, it’s going to be quite warm for the next few days. The plan is to protect the telescope from the heat of the day. My neck is feeling the sunshine from this morning already!

Got a lead on the bearing for my dad’s windmill.

They have a hardware store from heaven here in Pahrump. There’s a room full of bolts, nuts and washers that fill my house!

It’s almost unbelievable that this picture was taken from the ground!

Spent the afternoon scanning pictures from photo albums, found this really good picture of my dad. (Probably the best one i’ve ever seen)

They both look pretty happy in this picture.

The good news is it seems the shots in January are working.

Narrative: Breakfast then church at 8 this morning took up a lot of time today. We went to Wally World and picked up some groceries then took a nap. The evening was spent playing Scrabble and watching a movie with the sweetie.

Nighttime we worked with the telescope.
