Good Grief
Dennis and I had had a full day yesterday. Dennis had taken batteries off of the mower, put a trickle charger on the convertible and anything else that needed cleaning in the back garage. I was tuckered from fall housecleaning.
We put together a quick supper and as usual I turned on the floor lamp next to the dining room table. The entire floor lamp wobbled. When I took a hold of the five foot stem and the lamp wanted to topple over. Good grief! The heavy base was disintegrating . . . hell’s bells . . . it had disintegrated. When Dennis was going to pick up the entire lamp to take it outside, the base stayed put. Oh well. The lamp was 22 years old, and it may have continued for another 22 as the electrical was intact . . . if the base had been on board.
Today we were both at what we had on for an agenda of the day. The best part of the day was a surprise visit from the Watson team. Two trucks pulled up. One fellow was replacing the furnace chimney and the other was in charge of the two furnace cleanings. I even got the kitchen faucet fixed. That was a two minute job to get it tightened. The swiveling that a kitchen faucet does had taken its toll.
I was given a card by the Watson employee who is married to Dennis’ niece. Charlie said to give him a call next spring when the 70 degree days are usual and he would do a service call and check out the 1991 AC. Dennis indeed to rattle a cage and we are now set for the cold winter months knowing that the furnaces have been serviced.
The sun was out and it gives hope of having more to follow.
