October 2024 Island Trip – Day 8
Another list of things done, people treasured: Our exit tomorrow is feeling pretty smooth. Hoping for no work emergencies š š. Itās raining. Nothing like the sound of rain on a trailer roof š.
October 2024 Island Trip – Day 7
After staying up until 3AM, today was not nearly as productive as it might have been š. I woke up at 9, read a fav scathing political blog post, and snuggled back down. My nap coach made sure to keep things quiet and warm for me šāā¬. Once with it, and fed, I did manage […]
October 2024 Island Trip – Day 6
Lawdy, I got the Amerigas account on the slope to closing down today. Amerigas bought out one of the local propane companies my parents had been with forever, and everyone on the Island has been jumping ship since. They have been a frustration for years now. Our tenants, who moved back here from Hawaii, asked […]
October 2024 Island Trip – Day 5
I took some of my father-in-lawās photographic gear to the fellow who took my dadās enlargers off my hands a few years ago. Heāll take them to the local artistsā outfit on the Island. I got to see what is essentially his camera museum. It was very impressive with well over a hundred cameras. One […]
October 2024 Island Trip – Day 4

The spigot is a āno freezeā unit, but why tempt misery?? The rest isnāt really worth mentioningā¦ Well, maybe discovering that one of the […]
October 2024 Island Trip – Day 3
Today was kind of a proper Sunday. We slept in, had a nice breakfast, watched a lot of football (both of our teams), and visited friends. Other bits and pieces were attended to too: We went up the hill to visit our AN and his wife. He seemed better than when I saw him at […]
October 2024 Island Trip – Day 2
We got the lease signed for the next year. I ran over to Timās to check his mail and front door for any deliveries. Heās looking for insurance docs that are not showing up at his southern abode. Nothing but political junk, which I have been asked to recycle. The lumber company had some promising […]
October 2024 Island Trip – Day 1
At this juncture in the day/evening, things feel settled, warm and relaxed. The rain is impressive and Iām thankful the trailer-buffeting winds have eased off. It took turning the electric heater up to itās higher setting š³ to warm Stella up above 60Āŗ, after hours of it running at itās regular setting. Granted the interior […]
Sign Posting etcā¦
Did not go wellā¦ It was kinda like a red herring. City Hall told me to go the Community Center, who said they can only post city fliers, but try the park across the street. The park is huge, and I donāt currently have the mobility to hike the park looking for a bulletin board. […]
