–Breakfast at Holiday Inn; drove back to LSB. Easy trip.
–Carved a pumpkin, set it on a table in the driveway, dressed warmly and handed out 288/300 pieces of candy. Fun, but if we were going to be here next year, I’d have 600 pieces of candy.
Month: October 2019 (Page 1 of 4)
–Went for home inspection at 12:30. Consensus seems to be that new roof is needed immediately. Also evidence of rats in the attic. Other than those, not so bad.
–Went to Rubio’s and got a Burrito Especial (steak). Pretty good.
–Still sneezing and coughing, but feeling a little better.
–Drove to Sac for pool inspection. Went pretty well: no immediate repairs needed, could replace some seals here and there. Paid $305 cash.
–Bought some supplies at Bel Air and checked into Holiday Inn Express. Need a long shower and a lot of sleep.
–Feeling lousy. Went to McDonald’s for breakfast and wifi.
–Got stitches out via Bregman’s assistant. Dr. Holloway cut out a KA (will look up), said he’ll do a non-Mohs surgery after biopsy results come back.
–Power came on around 4 PM. House is much warmer. Still feel lousy.
–Power went out around 9:30 PM. Having caught a cold, I had a miserable night.
–Went to McDonald’s, Target (batteries and candles), put gas in the Beemer. Waited for power to go out. Not yet…..
–Replaced hearing batteries around 9 AM.
–Messaged Dr. Liao, asking for biopsy of blemish on arm.
–Took the Beemer to Sac to look at 11474 Tunnel Hill again with Darla. Found a lot to like: pool is 37’+ and plenty deep, side yards are spacious and one is especially suited to bird feeder/bath/lemon tree/bird of paradise. Living room, unlike many, is perfect for watching TV and birds. Less than 8 minutes walking time to Bel Air.
–Darla will submit offer tomorrow: asking ($600,00) and owners pay $4,000 for 2-year roof repairs.
–Had dinner at Ruffhaus again. Super good Pig Sandwich: smoked pork and chimichurri slaw.
–Darla said Tunnel Hill pool is 38 feet and a nice 80-something lady, original owner, lives across the street and loves it. House is all-electric (boo), and needs $4,000 roof repair for a 2-year certification (will ask owner to cover). Will visit tomorrow.
–Toyama mukimono came in. Okay, but had a couple of pits and a less-than-even grind (thread) on the back side, so I tossed it.
–Trimmed plants in front. Exhausting, as usual.
–Took two Creminas to great Infusions for consignment. Nicer one priced at $1,000, Elliot’s at $800.
–Second scuba air blower came in. Took it apart and lubed it, works fine. Drilled pin out of first one and took it apart/reassembled as well, which stopped the leak. Couldn’t get it back together satisfactorily, though.
