–Went shopping at Target for Teddy Nourse card/gift, toiletries, etc.
–Stefan Keller handle came in, as did Lido grinder knob (installed successfully) and Horn and Hardart Automat coffee mug.
–Made bacon and eggs for dinner.
Month: February 2020 (Page 1 of 3)
–Took Grace to dentist for crown.
–Shopping at Safeway.
–Drove back to LSB.
–Konosuke Fujiyama came in. Not too thrilling.
–Put in new hearing aid batteries around 9 AM.
–Failed to get garage photocell to work (re-wiring tripped circuit breaker). Gave up. Bought 3 bulbs at Home Depot with built-in photocells.
–Single garage door showed same thunk/stick problem as did double door. I fixed it the same way, though it took a little longer (had to turn adjustment screw a lot). All good now.
–Dinner at Jack’s.
–Really windy, messing up the pool.
–Inspector came and (1) said we pass; (2) noticed a gas-powered leaf blower on the trellis; (3) said we might want to paint the Comcast box for the next inspector. I did.
–Had a meat-eaters pizza at Blaze (pepperoni, meatball, onion). Not all that great.
–Left hearing quit around 6 PM.
–Drove to Sac with packed Beemer.
–While cutting the wires off the sensor (which turned out to be for the garage lights, not the (removed) alarm system light) I noticed a huge spark and learned I had tripped the circuit breaker–which controls the entire garage. I looked and looked and couldn’t find the breaker, until the third time I looked in the main panel and noticed one breaker not fully “on.” I switched all of them off and on, and we’re good. That could have been a disaster.
–Got chips and peanut butter cookies at Bel Air.
–Spent the morning switching from Chrome to Firefox. Chrome had serious issues with eBay/PayPal. All good now.
–Did a little packing for trip to Sac tomorrow.
–Made appointments with garage painter and Aztec Solar. Learned that house paint (touchup needed for roof inspection) is Kelly-Moore low-sheen Tawny.
–This is the second day I’ve been unable to complete a purchase at eBay; it hangs up trying to log into PayPal. Called eBay tech support, was told others are having this problem and it’s being investigated. I’m skeptical.
–Drove back from Sac. Stopped at Lunardi’s for a sandwich, Danish and cheese.
–Heard from Miner’s Village architectural inspector: need to remove dangling alarm light sensor and paint Comcast cable to pass. Will do.
–Re-filled garden toter with stuff pruned yesterday.
–Egg BLT at Jasper’s; salad at Jack’s.
