some work done yesterday

Day 32, "Every picture has a story"

Three men in a tub!!!  The story behind this picture, or should I say behind this tub!  As a growing kid on the farm and then as teenager going to high school I had NO NO experience in electrical, carpentry or plumbing, none.  Well we get our first home and there needs to be a new faucet installed in our bathroom.  I talk to Harold, a worker at the school for the deaf, and from that conversation I feel I am good to go with copper sweating etc.  I got everything ready and shout down to Gail to turn the water pressure on.  Oh my we have an "Old Faithful" kind of experience in the house!  I shout again, this time REALLY loud, turn the water off.  I find out that I had used the wrong material to sweat the copper pipes.  Of course I had to sand, clean the pipes and reuse them again as money was so tight I could not buy new material.  As one can see Aaron, John and Travis enjoyed Dad's work when it was finally finished. 

Not a whole lot to talk about this morning.

I did go to the courts yesterday and watched some tennis.  I am trying to make myself available to some of the better players if someone gets hurt or does not show up.  Do not fear, I did not "hope" someone would get hurt!  No play yesterday.  

I did get my second haircut of the season yesterday afternoon.  Terry say it is looks great so I guess I am good to go.  Go where, not sure!  In between games yesterday one of the guys did invite me to the "Burn" which is where some guys go from time to time for a scotch and cigar.  I said "no thank you."

The club had an open house yesterday as they are trying to get more people to sign up for the club.  If you pay for a club membership you can eat there, play tennis, use the fitness center, use the shuttle out to the gulf beach and more.  We belong but do not use it for much more than the tennis.

Saw on Facebook where Roger Lee got a nice buck.  He lives in Detroit Lakes MN.  Roger grew up on a farm a half mile from us and I believe he was in the last graduating class of Cayuga High School which would have been in the spring of 1959.  After Roger left home for college I would often help his dad, Rollof, with his hay bales.  Rollof had a twin brother Tollof.  Not sure I spelled that correctly but I know the names sounded kind of alike.

Actually I did get some work done yesterday.

We had purchased new ceiling lights and I got them installed yesterday.  It was a bit easier putting them in than our new fans in MN which went in an OLD house!

Enough for now.  It is now late afternoon as I just could not get that picture sent from my phone to the computer.  Terry, some how, got my e-mail to work on my phone.  She said she was not sure HOW she did it but presto, I have e-mail after not having it for at least 24 hours.

No FP as that was drank a LONG time ago.
