Our Location today is Moore Haven, Florida, USA.
That was different! Would you believe we both managed to
sleep past 8:00 this morning and we both felt well rested when we got up. The temperature
was below the 50 F (10 C) mark here until nearly 10:00 this morning so after
having breakfast and doing our morning reading we found a movie on television
that we’d never seen before. It felt good to have a Lazy morning as we are still
nursing our stuffed and runny noses in hopes of slowly being able to breathe
more normally. Even a nice bowl of soup along with a cup of tea for lunch
helped to warm us enough to start cracking open the windows soon after.
Once the table was cleared I started getting things wrapped
up that had been delayed by our catching that cold last week. In order to get
our new Fantastic Fan up and running it needed to be wired into the 12 volt
fuse panel and since there were no open feeds I fused the wires that had been
run, shut the 12 volt feed and wired off the main feed. Now our only problem is
getting used to how the remote control works.
Going outside the first thing I did was fire up our Weber Q
to let it warm up. That gave me a chance to reinstall the sewer hose holder
that I’d had to remove while running the wires between the frame rails for the
Fantastic Fan. After washing my hands I lowered the heat on the grill to a
quarter from the lowest setting because of the wind it would have blown the
flame out if it had been set totally on low. It was then time to add the medium
sized partially frozen chicken we had on the grill.
Kathy spent time on her computer doing book keeping and
banking. At one point she asked for my assistance to help deal with a banking message
sent to her E-mail address. After a quick call we were told not to worry about
the message even though it was legit and was not a scam trying to get our
personal information.
My next chore was returning up to the roof where I had found
a few problems while running the wiring on the weekend. The junction box that
had been installed last year in preparation to add solar panels to our roof had
broken free from its bossing. To fix this holes were drilled through the bottom
of the box where it would be held by screws supported by fender washers making
it better than new. I also added additional wire loom over the cables to
prevent any UV deterioration of the cables. Finally I replaced the screening over
the fridge vent. By the time all the sealing was refinished it felt good to be
back on the ground. Even though the temperature reached a high of 66 F (19 C) the
north wind chill made it feel much cooler even though I’d worn my jacket the
entire time.
Checking the chicken with our meat thermometer after two and
a half hours on the grill it was perfectly cooked. Handing it off to Kathy she covered
it with foil before putting it in the microwave. Microwaves are very well insulated
and even in the off mode kept the chicken piping hot until it was supper time.
Since it was nearing 5:00 I rehung the rear basement wall
before starting to put some things away. Supper was delicious and there’s
plenty of leftovers for a few more meals. We’ve still got two more cold nights
to put up with this week but the day time highs are slowly starting to get back
to normal starting tomorrow. Thanks for following along and feel free to leave
a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.
