Electric, Laundry, Oil and Itch

Rantoul, IL.
47 deg. partly cloudy, no wind.
Forecast today = high temp. 70 deg. partly cloudy, light northwest winds.

Even though it was kind of chilly, Jim was outside by 9:00 and was busy putting the other plug on the 30 Amp cord. It didn't take too long because if you remember, he had already cut the old plug off, so all he had to do was strip the insulation back to the required length and then attach the wires to the proper places.

After he was done with the cord, he noticed that Paul was outside, so he walked over and talked to him for an hour or so.

By the time he returned, Linda was up, had started a load of laundry, and was eating some breakfast. Then when she was done eating, they both sat down and tried to figure out what things needed to be done before we leave here on Thursday, and when they were going to do it.

By this time, the laundry was done washing and was partially dried, so Jim went out and put up the clothes rack on my ladder. Then, he and Linda took the clothes out and hung them up to finish drying.

After that, Jim fired up my generator, ran it for about 1/2 an hour and then changed the oil in it. By the time he was done with that, and he had himself cleaned up, he decided it was nap time. :-)

For dinner, Linda heated up some ham to make sandwiches, cooked some peas for Jim (he really likes peas and she doesn't), and got out some slaw for herself. That, along with some chips made a nice meal.

The evening was spent watching TV and fooling around with the computers.

Yep, I really think we'll be leaving here on Thursday. It's a good thing too, cause my tires are itching like crazy again!!!   ;-o

Did you know that it takes more than 500 peanuts to make one 12-ounce jar of peanut butter?
