didja make it home yet Spike? See any weather??
Naw, here 'til Wednesday, then headed over to Pensacola for three days' beach time.
Plan is, flying with Marathon Mike Schneider tomorrow, then we'll see if it's possible for us to fly to PNS without taking off into low IFR (as we have the past two years).
Today's task list: fixed defective threshold on door to Grandmother's bedroom; removed old and installed new medicine cabinet with lights; discovered in process thereof exposed wires in near-contact with each other and metal frame of old cabinet; silent prayer of thanks spoken. Also, diagnosed internitent A/C problem in Grandmother's Caddy, clutch not always pulling in.
Also got to zap a couple of wasps nests, spray 'n' run, hear peanut gallery (safe behind glass) laughing at antics.
Killed some fire ants (found welts from bites on feet at bedtime).
Designed-up a sample invitation to Granny's 100th birthday party (February 25, Women's Club of Tallahassee, be there).
Yesterday: removed two sets of worn-out venetian blinds (72" wide window!), installed two new sets of blinds. Discovered this morning that the new blinds, by design, do not close all the way. Bought new, larger and more-costly blinds today, having first verified that they do close fully. Removal and installation of new (bad) and new (good) tomorrow, followed by the return-to-store trip. Do not expect a problem from Lowe's, but if they give grief, Grandmother will pull out the old "...I'm 99-years-old, are you trying to take advantage of me?" and,
voila, troubles will be over.
It's steamy here in TLH, but I always love it here.
