Four Inches of rain fell on Rabbit run last night. It stormed to beat the band twice and the
Direct TV and COX cable both gave up the ghost. The TV is back but the Cable and phone are
both still out. We have electricity and a cell phone so we are not totally
without. This morning I went to the
Dairy to get some milk and you could see where the water was over the road
between here and there. I will probably
stay home most of today and read a book.
Last night after dinner we made a library and junk food run. Barb was out of books and chocolate. I have developed a sweet tooth but I like it
really in ice cream. There are now ice
cream sandwiches with chocolate ice cream and those little mini cones with
chocolate ice cream dipped in chocolate.
Yummy.
As I was sitting at the dining room table reading the paper
this morning, I heard a strange rumble that sounded like it was coming from
downstairs. I went into the storage room
and I could hear the sump pump running.
I looked down in there and it seems that a rock was blocking the float
and it couldn't go down enough to shut off.
I am glad to have been there when it happened. I guess that is another one of those
maintenance things I need to look into.
One of the things I need to do is go up and get Dave's mower
and see why the blades aren't working as well as they should. Dave said he did hit a piece of wood the last
time he mowed. I think there is either
an alignment problem of a bearing going out.
I won't be able to tell until I get it home and drag the mower deck out
from underneath. It is a lot of work but
not so technical that I can't do that. I
need to also fix the roof on Dave's Shed sometime. I will need to pull off the shingles and
replace at least one of the sheets of sheathing. I just hope I don't to fix all of them. Oh well, I can always hire the nephew to
climb the ladder.
Oh well, going to close this here and save it in word
processing for addition when the cable is back up.
