A contractor for my electric supplier has been working on the lines and poles along Naneum Road. Larger lines are replacing the old ones. I should ask the locals how long the existing lines have been there.
The crew is replacing poles where there is a change in direction. One such place is at the entry point for me on to Naneum Road. There is a right angle turn and two new posts have been put in. The old posts are still doing the duty, but I suspect a change this coming week. They might take the old poles out and give them to me. This has not been confirmed.
Anyway, my power was cut at 9:10 am Thursday morning. At 2:00 pm it came back on. That’s the longest outage I’ve had in 35 years. I had time to reset the clocks, and then went to a potluck.
Friday we bottled white wine. There was a pallet and one-half completed – and then lunch. How many bottles that is, I don’t know. Harvest is now happening, but next we will do a red wine of many varieties.
Yesterday, I had cake and ice cream at a birthday party for 7 year-old Natalie, who lives about 6 miles south of me. Mixed cake layers overly decorated and chocolate chip ice cream.
Both parents are Fire & Rescue sorts, he in Yakima and she in EBRG. We met Natalie’s great grandparents in 1975 and their kids when they were teens. Another life-time ago.
Other than that, not much. Working on a few simple projects – and did some laundry today.
