Darryll did not call last night so we knew he would not be here today. That gave us another day to work in the garage.  We moved things around, cleaned, sorted through stuff, decided what to re-store, and where, and what to add to various disposal collections.  We are pretty sure the old window A-C unit is going to our son’s house, so we loaded it in the Honda Element, which got it out of the garage.  Linda also loaded some old video and satellite TV electronics in the car to take to Recycle Livingston tomorrow.

We were making good progress and decided to stick with it and then have a slightly later lunch.  We removed all of the doors from some old kitchen cabinets, upper and lower, in the northwest corner of the garage.  We plan to eventually remove these cabinets, but not this year.  Without the doors we will be able to see what is stored in them, or at least that something is stored in them.  We moved a set of small parts bins and a bookcase which allowed us to reposition two work benches.  That, in turn, allowed us to move the radial arm saw and finally set the saw on the base and secure it.  It is now in a place where I could use it if needed, if it had power.  It requires a 240VAC/15A outlet.  I bought and installed a 30A double pole breaker in anticipation of this, so I will have to get a 15A breaker instead.

The weather forecast for today and tomorrow was for warm temperatures becoming hot with increasing humidity and chances for rain.  We closed the house up at lunch time and turned on the A-C.  We have hardly used it this summer, but have appreciated having in on those few sultry days.

We watched our current resident flock of wild turkeys—three adults and three young that have been in the area for a few weeks now—forage in our back yard while we ate lunch.  After lunch Linda decided to make banana bread as we had several bananas that did not get eaten fast enough.  She was researching dinner recipes when I went to my office to work on computer tasks.  Except for a dinner break, I worked late into the evening on the following:

• Cleaning up (filing or deleting) e-mails
• SLAARC Website user maintenance
• Updating WordPress websites (ver 4.0 was just released)
• Social media sites (RVillage, Facebook, Linked-In)
• Editing daily blog posts
• Off-loading digital photographs
• Organizing photo storage

BTW:  Dinner was a new dish, a pineapple quinoa stir-fry with cashews, ginger, scallions, a little bit of hot peppers, and several spices/seasonings including fresh basil that Linda has been growing in the northwest corner of the kitchen where there is good light. It was excellent.
