Today’s Notes
General: Work on lighting at Grandpa’s,the living conditions at the farm have greatly improved since removing all the Ethan Allen furniture.
Theme: Keep it simple!
Narrative:
11:30 Took table, folding table and chairs to Grandpa’s. She called the pharmacy and they refilled the prescription for the eye drops over the phone. She wants a cage for the cat so we came back to load up again. We finally found the purse, it was in a drawer…
12:30 OK on our way back to Grandpa’s, mom is waiting on her meals on wheels. We assembled the floor Torchiere lamp and put it in the fireplace room.
18:30 Status.. We’ve picked up the golf cart tires and the repairs were free of charge. (Two good tires) We picked up a LED yard light, a Mercury Vapor bulb and a wireless doorbell that I hope will work on Grandpa’s gate. I put the new bulb in the yard light and it came on, but it appears that the photocell is broken. (It stays on.) That light is WAAY up in the air! The pole was moving quite a bit up there. I’ll mount the tire on the red golf cart tomorrow, the mosquito’s are terrible tonight.
Engineering: The tree alongside the house is splitting in half. I don’t know how fast, but the crack seemed MUCH smaller this morning so I may only have a day or two to prevent it from failing. He mentioned putting a cable between the halves of the tree to prevent it from failing. (I am thinking a chain, but I don’t have anything long enough to stretch between the branches of a tree.) Northern tool has stuff like this, I’ll head down there tomorrow. According to the video’s I’ve watched they drill 3 foot holes through the branch (Saving most of the bark). I don’t have a climbing harness, rope, cable, bolts, drill or drill bit to pull off such an adventure. There is no insurance. The weird thing is that we are not affected by the loss of a tree or the damage to the building directly. (Since we’re selling at the land value.) I’ve looked, other than cabling around the branch there’s not much I can do. To call an arborist will cost US money we’re not going to get back. Not to mention I am running terribly short of time.
Mom is stressing out over the phones at Ricky’s.
