Seattle Delayed . . .
We were up about 9 to get ready to take the ferry to Seattle, but as it turned out, it was Nick’s turn to be sick, so we’re putting the trip off until tomorrow.
Since it’s been getting warmer the last few days I went ahead and put up the solar screens on the front windows to help keep out some of the heat. The first few days here we didn’t need the AC, but we’ve had it on the last couple of days. And since we’re on 30 amps here, we can only run one AC, so it needs all the help it can get.
We’re still enjoying our new Winegard Automatic satellite dish, and it’s working great. I did find out that it only needs the 12 v when it is finding the satellite. After that it can be unplugged.
Jan wanted to get a pedicure this afternoon so about 1 we headed out to take care of that. But our first stop was lunch at Arby’s before finding a nearby nail solon and dropping Jan off.
Then I headed off for some errands. My first stop was Wal-Mart where I was looking for the plugs and receptacles I need to finish bypassing my transfer switch so I can easily switch back and forth between power sources. Not finding what I needed there, it was off to Lowe’s where they had exactly what I needed.
My next stop was Radio Shack where I was looking for 50 feet of dual RG-6 cable. It’s two cables molded together as one for hooking up dual satellite feeds.
But they didn’t carry it here so I’ll have to try somewhere else. Finally picking up Jan a little after 3 we headed home
Nick was feeling better by 5 so we all headed out to the Family Pancake House where we ate on Sunday morning. Nick and I both liked our meals, but Jan and Terry weren’t happy with their Turkey Dinners, and when they mentioned it to the waitress, the manager knocked 25% off our check. Nice!

Thought for the Day:
Remember, you do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.
