September Island Trip – Day 7

Today isn’t over in terms of things to do, but I have a few minutes to write. (Haha, started this post four hours ago!) Having gotten to bed before midnight, I got up early. Funny how that works! Before heading to town I:

• Called the stove guy, leaving voice mail, to update him on how things went with the propane and electrical folks, and ask for an install date.
• Texted the appliance wizard regarding what sort of water heater had been recommended as a replacement.
• Made sure key copies worked.

In town I dropped of a few things at the thrift store. Once back at the house it was time to:

•  Pick apples and plums (maybe 70 pounds total) and continue to prune dead wood out of the trees as I went.
• Have some cold delicious lunch.
• Load the truck with recycle and trash from the house, shed, both barns, and the DR office. This took two hours.
• Clean the concrete pad between the two barns.
• Weed whacked. Then
• Found another wasp nest. They were none too please with my activities. I moved my operations to the east.
• Took a well deserved shower.
• Swear at the water heater as it crapped out on me. At least it’s maintaining it’s new found social filters and quits after I turn the water off.
• Meet with the property manager and one of the neighbors.
• Meet with our Wonderful Neighbor.
• Go for a long walk with the neighbor ladies.
• Pour some antique gas down the wasp next, and quickly retreated inside.
•  Have a glass of wine.

Next up is to:

• Strategically deploy bleach on some suspicious mold.
• Bravely peek under the floor of the house.
• Have some dinner.
