More Winds
The winds have been howling. We had the west house window cracked during the night, at just the right height for the wind from the north to howl. It made for pretty good sleeping. With that being said, I did something today that I have not done in one heck of a long time. It is now in the late afternoon and I pulled it off. I have stayed in my nightie all day long. I pulled a sweater cardigan over my nightie at eight this morning and called it good.
I have moved from the sewing studio and the west reading porch intermittently today. Any doctor will tell you that sitting in one position for too long is hard on an arthritic body. I do save my “after supper chair” for just that purpose.
Yesterday late afternoon, I made a phone call to the Brillman company in Virginia to check on the electrical harness that we ordered on September 22nd for the Cub tractor. When we found it on the internet we placed the order, not thinking anything but how fortunate to find a company that had just what we needed. Speaking to the parts department I got news I had not expected. The company is building the electrical harness to specs of the 1968 Cub 154 model. Wow. With that news we thought the price of $148.00 is quite reasonable. It may be several weeks before we receive it. Not that we are in a rush, so this works for us.
The tractor has been sitting next to the drive during this repair time. Finding that the repair is several weeks out, we rolled the tractor into the pickup garage after supper. The little red pickup has had it made in the shade for being parked in the garage every day after its use. It will have to take it’s due diligence parked in the driveway until the tractor is running and can be put in the back garage. It all works out.
The sun comes out every once in awhile, but the wind never takes a break. We for sure are in the fall mode.
Dennis’ 84th birthday is Friday. He will be taking several dozen cupcakes out to the VA as he has an appointment at nine that morning. Treating the gals out there that give such great service . . . it is the least that he can do. I agreed to the max.
Hope everything is nailed down during this windy spell.
