Spring Fling 2011 - Day 12

Although this was again a beautiful day weatherwise we chose to make it a "domestic day".  While Jean went to be frustrated by endless waiting at the License Branch Peter and I replaced both a deadbolt and a full lockset on their primary outside door, then investigated the inoperative one on their front door, concluding that it was not fixable & would eventually have to be replaced.  We also worked on the lawn tractor/mower, including running cable out to the shed to put the battery on charge.  Later in the day I mounted their kitchen fire extinguisher in a strategic place and also mounted a hangar on a stucco pillar on their enclosed patio.

In the afternoon Peter went for his extensive physical therapy session and after dropping him we filled the van, or almost filled it as I was again cut off at the $75 mark!  Jean & I then went for our brisk two laps around the same large pond as before before going to pick Pete up.  I raised the subject of length of stay and was firmly told (later reiterated by Peter) that I would be welcome to continue staying in the house after they leave for Cincinnati sometime next week - I won't of course, but I am going to stay on for a while.

Peter is capable of many things but is much too easily distracted, not only by something that catches his eye, but equally by something that catches his ear which may result in him wondering why, two hours later, he has a tool in his hand!  Jean is very appreciative of my ability to keep him focused on the task at hand and the both of them are enjoying revisiting places in this area that they enjoy but without a forcing excuse somehow never get around to seeing

In the evening I acted as a second pair of eyes and supplier of encouragement (having done similarly myself) while Jean fought her way through renewing the van, camper, and trailer license plates, making them legal again.  This was not a day for photo opportunities, so there is no link to this edition.
