It was cloudy once again. Weather guessers predicted 4 straight days of rain. Not a drop. It’s been 2 weeks. now. The lawn is looking like the desert.

We are north of that for sure. But will be in Oregon in October. Hopefully your visit is fun word.

Aurora as far south as Oregon tomorrow. Were too far south.

I’ve installed a few fans. When I had an attic, it was easier to run wires and secure the fan. This electrician cut a hole in the sheet rock to figure out how to run wires and did mud it up, but I get to sand and paint. Two different rooms so I will have some of that joy that you seemingly experience all the time. Yeah it is not all that…[Read more]

I put in 3 here, all with no preexisting wiring. I had to cut holes between every other joist, then patch the holes. I had drill extension, but the bit kept snarling on fiberglass insulation. I’ve gotten pretty at patching sheetrock holes, so it wasn’t too big of a deal, just time consuming. I have a lot of time on my hands.

Wow, I guess they found the magic. That’s great!

Looking forward to the ceiling fans getting installed word.

The fans are great in summer, but also help move the warmer air near the ceiling in winter.

Daughter and fam are back with us. #1 grandson is sailing in the local junior Olympics competition. 5 races yesterday, 2 more today. No one has a clue about the standings as they have published the first day results.

We went to another grandson’s…[Read more]

Yes, the remote is nice. And, the fan is perfectly balanced at all speeds. No need to balance. Because I am now half blind, it was a tough installation. That and my head lamp ran out of battery so that was of no help. I had to have my wife shine a flashlight so I could line up the screws to the holes to mount the fan blades. It was…[Read more]

You’ll like the convenience of the remote.

First weekend in month with no kids around. I’m finally getting some work finished.

Well, temps are cooling down here. It has been pretty uncomfortable here without AC. Not horrific, but not comfy. It’s a little warm. I finally fixed the ceiling fan. We are going to install more ceiling fans in the family room and in a bedroom. The electrician is coming tomorrow to get that all wired up. I’ll be installing the fans.…[Read more]

Yup, not comfortable unless you are accustomed to it. Especially sleeping on the ground or on cots. My wife never really goes to sleep because natures sounds. After 2 days she’s heading home. It’s been a while. I hope the girls had a good time.

We are back! It was hot in the Wallowa OR area this past week. But it was very nice and a great place to visit. It is in the middle of nowhere, quite literally. Northeast OR and there is not much there. Towns are little but it is nice. Back safe and sound. Not wanting to go camping again in a tent for a while. I think my wife is…[Read more]

2 more days in the 90s. My hydrangeas have fried in the sun.

Hope you had a great week camping. It’s been a while since we’ve gone out because of the house. We hope to get back into soon.

Will be incommunicado for a week. Have a great week and I hope it cools down for you. I’ll check back in a week from Wed word.

That’s great RYou. Relax away. We are planning to go camping with grandaughters to Wallowa area in North eastern Oregon. We leave Wed. Will be in the high 90s there but its a dry heat, yeah right!!

It has hit 90s here in Seattle for a few days and will cool down starting Wed word.

Oh it’s been hot and humid for sure. We’ve been on a run of 80’s for 2 weeks and an occasional bump into the 90’s. The worst part is the humidity, 80-90%. As of today it’ll be 80+ for the next 2 weeks with that 1-2 bump into the 90’s. Surprisingly the ocean water temp has been bouncing between 58 and 64 which is really cold for this time of…[Read more]

That was quick. My wife is over your way. She is visiting cousins on the upper east coast. Was in Boston visiting nieces just before that. I think she is having fun in the warm and humid conditions word.

Daughter and family back again as the eldest son continues his sailing club and the next 2 go to camp.

Daughter and fam gone. Finally time to relax.
