8:30 am - Tuesday - November 18th - TWW - 31° F, humidity 43%, wind 6 mph out of the north by northeast....partially cloudy today with a forecast high of 52° F. On this date in 2021 TLE and I attended grand parents day at Sierra Vista Elementary School in Rancho Cucamonga, CA.....our grandson, Brayden James, son of our daughter Sharon, and son-in-law, Rod....
I worked pretty much all day long Monday, but never got out of my pajamas. I was working inside the Newell, so why change out of comfortable clothing, right? My first project of the day was to get my two prescriptions (blood pressure meds, and cholesterol) moved from the Rite Aid in Alturas to the online Amazon Pharmacy. I was sure it would be complicated, but within 15 minutes Amazon had transferred them, and within 3 hours my prescriptions were being shipped.....wow! Of course the question remains.....why didn't I do that sooner?
The second project was a phone project. I needed to call Yavapai Propane to set up propane service here at TWW. In just one month we've gone through half of our 60 gallon tank, so there is no way we are going to make it another 5 months. Within 10 minutes I had an appointment for November 25th here at TWW to set up a 120 gallon tank, and plumb it into the Newell propane system. The cost of propane is $2.59/gallon....about half what we pay normally....cool! It was only 10 am and I had scratched two things off my 'TO DO' list.
The next project was to upgrade the LED lighting in the bedroom, which I wrote about wanting to do a couple of days ago. Again, I've had the LED strip lights for about 3 years for the project, but just never got around to actually doing it. It's not that it is a hard job, it just takes about an hour for each side of the coach, and involves some soldering of connections, etc. With TLE's help I succeeded in the upgrade, and WOW, it is ever way brighter in the bedroom now....
....by the time I finished putting the alcove trim back, and putting away my tools, and materials it was 3:30 pm, and time for dinner. TLE bought some thin sliced pastrami when we were in Flagstaff Sunday, and made hot pastrami sandwiches for dinner....a great way to end my work day....if it were the end...lol.
My last task for the day was to order new control boards for two of our Suburban gas furnaces, as well as new sail switches (micro switch) for all three. I found the sail switches on eBay, and the Dinosaur control boards on Amazon. While all three heaters are working well, its time to service them, and upgrade the control boards, so we can be sure they will operate at their maximum potential when it gets really cold this winter. I have already upgraded the control board for the salon heater, and wrote about that here in 2016.
And with that final 'inside' task completed my work day was now officially done. We got a lot done, and I did it all in my pajamas....lol!
Thanks for stopping by!
