<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Good luck to all you hardy souls heading to the Ben
Oliver Memorial this weekend.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sorry I have to miss it (Lamar is going) but the
past week has left me worn out.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Saturday the Air Conditioner for the house
went out-both condenser cooling fans died, and the compressor was barely adding
any "cool" to the air-the circulating fan at least kept running. 97F on
Saturday, 96 on Sunday,98 on Monday. New AC due in on Tuesday</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sunday the Swimming Pool started leaking-somewhere-
and spent all day and Monday fixing anything I could find that might be leaking.
Got advice from Pool Dr. and fixed everything they thought of. Must have fixed
something, but still leaking and laughing at me. I am going to get it by next
Monday or forget it!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Monday dead-had to go to Birmingham to finish up a
5 year Arthritus study I was in -had X-rays and MRI's on both knees. At least
some good news--nothing has changed over the past 5 years. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Tuesday/ Wednesday got the old out, and the new in
and now have a cool house again.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thursday the hot water heater let go and flooded
the hallway-lucky we have a one story house-I guess? Cleaned up-still at it
underlayment wet and warping. May have to replace 60 or so Sq. ft of it and the
tile. Waiting to see whether it will dry out without warping-not much hope since
it is particle board. Did get the old one out-shut off valve would not totally
shut off, --19 years old so you can guess why it did not fully shut off. I
had to kill the water to the whole house for a few hours while I went and got a
new one. Of course it was soldered in so that made it another problem finding
all I needed to adapt to copper without soldering.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Today-Friday--pool do or die, or know the reason
why by Sunday night. Lamar is on the way to Knoxville,hope he does good. Taking
the Agressor -electric with a little smaller prop--ask him why--.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hope all of you that are there have a great time,
good food, good socializin,good weather, great flyin, take home what you
got there with -all in one piece, and a SAFE trip ---to--from--and while
you are there.</FONT></DIV>
