The Check’s In The Mail . . .
Well, Day 1 without Jan, and the cat and I are still alive.
So far, so good, I guess.
But now it looks like Jan’s petting/house sitting may be extended a few days. Brandi got an email this afternoon saying that due the very heavy winter storm coming in, their flight to Denver tomorrow morning has been canceled. So now they’re thinking about driving which will add a couple of days to their trip.
Oh, well.
Tomorrow, first up on my chore list is to really get into my AC problem. I going to try and short around the control box to see if I can start the AC manually.
I still kind of confused why the AC just quit working, and then 3 or 4 days later, burns up the power wire feeding the compressor relay while I just looking at the control box after taking the cover off. I had not touched anything yet.
But there was a SnapCracklePop and then all the magic smoke came out
So we’ll see what happens tomorrow. I’ve already kind of halfway resigned myself to buying a new unit, but maybe I’ll luck out.
My babysitter Patsy has a new book out and Jan says it’s really good. I just haven’t had a chance to get to it yet.
It’s called The Wonder Boy of Whistle Stop, and it’s a sequel to her Fried Green Tomatoes.
In case you haven’t figured it out, Patsy’s professional name is Fanny Flagg. But when I was growing up in Gulf Shores, AL, she was Patsy to me, because her real name is Patricia Neal, and yes, she was my babysitter.
Our parents were good friends, and Patsy, being about 4 years older than me, often got stuck watching me. Sorry, Patsy.
Jan says it’s a great book. Get it!
According the news, the first $1400 checks from the new CoVid bill should start bank accounts this weekend. Another story says that if you total up all six of the Covid ‘relief’ bills (only 3 of them gave us money) you could give every household in the U.S a check for $41,036.
Instead we get $1200, $600, and $1400. So who’s getting all the rest?
Another article that 90% of this last bill had nothing to do with CoVid ‘relief’.
Well, what’ya know.
