The heat pump saga appears to be resolved. We have the vents balanced enough so the front of the house to back of the house temperature difference appears to be two degrees. We'll keep working on that. The drain is clear, but still needs to be moved to it's final location (we haven't been here, and I think the guys are still swamped, so it's not a big deal. If you ask me, it can wait until the attic is no longer 100 degrees -- but maybe before the outside temperature is uncomfortable.
I enjoyed the swap meet. I think Mr. L did, too. We didn't make as much money as last year, but we paid for our spaces and split the remainder between us. We earned enough to pay for next year's spaces, too, so that's not bad. More importantly, stuff we didn't need any more found a new home. Surprisingly, two old cell phones went for $2, and my 3G MiFi sold for $3. The dog house found a new home for $20. The guy that runs the detail shop behind our shop gave Mr. L a new lawn mower blade and a Holley carb. Both sold, so we'll be able to give him some money.
The dark kitten is available for adoption. When I dropped Rossie off for the weekend, she was huddled in a cardboard box house they'd made for her. I asked them to open the space between her and Rossie's cages. If the two can form a bond, and she doesn't get adopted by the time we get back from Hershey, I'll bring her home. I'll talk to Dr. Val on Monday. Maybe I'll do it before then, but Dr. Val rightly thinks we have too many cats, so we'll see.
I did not dig sticker burs or mow the lawn last week. I did some watering. I did my pool work at the motel. I rode the bike for 30 minutes at level 2, so that's getting better. I'm experiencing some periodic sharp pains in my new knee. It feels like nerves regenerating. The right knee is giving me problems at night, and I've put a compression sleeve on for the last two nights. That has helped some.
Once I figure out the channels that work on the Roku, it works pretty well. Some channels are easier to work with than others. Getting things set up is time consuming and tedious. Once it's done, I think I'll be able to forget the pain.
Got some feedback on Granite Hill and a good explanation for why it's a character sketch instead of a story as well as why my format won't work for this idea. I am so slow to learn this stuff. It's frustrating. But the feedback should be helpful for helping me plan the series. I'll keep working on it.
Mr. L has to make a trip to San Antonio this week. I don't think I'll have to go with him. I hope to get some stuff done here.
The Week Ahead:
- Unload trailers
- Pool and bike
- Do some stuff around the house
- Pay bills
- Work on Granite Hill
