–Visited 2056 Promontory Point with realtor Mark Solich. Nice inside, but small. Lots of water/electric controllers outside. Needs a new roof and dry rot repair. No go. Mark has other properties coming up.
–Took a shower.
Month: August 2022 (Page 1 of 3)
–Talked to realtor Mark Solich to set up viewing Promontory house and Stanford Court condo. Turns out the condo seller wanted a rent-back contract, where she could live in the condo for 60-90 days, or until she found another place to live. I said let’s look at it anyway and we can maybe try for a more reasonable contract. Then the seller decided, for the second time in a month, to withdraw the house! Unbelievable.
–Took a swim.
–Made pesto. Had some for dinner; put some in the freezer. Yum!
–Took a swim.
–Went to Sunrise farmers market for tomatoes, pears, apples.
–Gave Grace her myriad presents.
–Got the drain cover off the upstairs shower.
–Took Grace to Home Depot for curtain rod, pool floats, plunger, etc.
–Took a swim–81 laps.
–Had Zoom Drain come out and fix the kitchen sink drain. He put in 50′ of snake, and found with his camera that the problem was little roots about a foot in. Hard to imagine where they came from, as nothing has grown there for years. I suppose it gets wet (pipe joint leak?) and that’s all it takes for things to grow, even if you can’t see them.
–Took the Rolex 5513 apart and cleaned the case. Blew out a tube gasket or two with the scuba tank; ordered replacements on eBay. It seemed to be running slow on the wrist, but ran fast in all positions on the Timegrapher. I guess I’ll start leaving it face down instead of face up overnight and see what happens.
–Called Broadley Plumbing, left a message. He called back around 7 PM, said they don’t do drain work, sent me to Zoom Drains. Great.
–Got takeout from Five Guys.
–Did not go to Noah’s for bagels.
–Took Grace shopping at Smart & Final.
–Started to take a swim, then (at Grace’s insistence) cleaned the pool filter.
–Jack’s Urban Eats for dinner.
