Friday Follies

I woke up to light snow on Friday morning. It was fluffy so it didn’t really impact my drive into work.

At lunchtime, I went to Home Depot and bought two 15 amp circuit breakers ($85 US!) to replace the two suspect ones in my fuse box. I am fairly certain this is the problem with my electricity. My friend B___ had never heard of “Pushmatic” circuit breakers, BTW. But I have had several houses that had them, so I took some pictures of what that meant for him (see photos) I think it was a 1950’s thing...

Back home after work and starting the weekend, I found a package on my front porch. It was a gift and a sympathy card from Lu. I had told her about the death of a friend of mine at work. The card was lovely and the gift was 20 ounces of smoked sockeye salmon. I will have to figure out the best way to use this (as an appetizer on crackers?).

I called her cell phone and found it disconnected (apparently my brother, Jim is not the only one who has the wrong number). So, I called the house and told her thanks.

It was too dark to work on the fuse box (that will be tomorrow). I was beat, so dinner took a back seat to resting up. I finally just warmed up a can of Hormell chili.

I watched the movie “Dances with wolves” (the only Kevin Kostner movie I really liked) from 9:00 PM until midnight and then went to bed.
