Scratching Things Off Our To-Do List and Stormy Weather.

Our Location today is McGregor, Ontario, Canada.

Even though we watched the 11 o’clock Local News last night we both managed to be awake shortly after 8:00 this morning. The fact that the outside temperature was already 61 F (16 C) and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky might have had something to do with it. Even before we sat down to have our breakfast we were busy opening our windows so we could enjoy as much of the fresh air as we could get. By 9:30 we had not only finished our morning Coffee/Tea but our reading at the Computers and were refocusing ourselves on what we wanted to do with our day.

Kathy wanted to do some rearranging in the closet. Even though she worked at changing many of our regular clothing hangers yesterday she didn’t take the time to organize it. That’s what she did this morning until we had a late lunch. 

Our new over the door Towel Bar.

The other night when we were at our son Kevin and daughter-in-law Melissa’s Home I used the vise in their garage to reshape the top of an Door-Top Towel Bar. I had it the perfect size for the thickness of the door but the door would not close properly with it on. Yesterday I tried Plan B which meant cutting the piece of the bracket on the outside of the door off. Continuing with Plan B this morning I had to file the bracket far enough so that it wouldn’t hit the door frame. Holding metal by hand and filing it to the needed shape is not as easy as it sounds but I finally had it installed by the time Kathy called me for our late lunch. 

We weren’t quite sure what to have for lunch but since we had two bottles of Maple Syrup open in the fridge a plan was made to make them one. We had Pancakes with Butter and Maple Syrup with fruit on the side for dessert. The empty bottle made its way to the Recycle Bin. 

WE-Boost and Router now mounted above the Mantel
where it used to sit.

After Kathy washed the Dishes she had some Bookkeeping and Research that she wanted to do. 

Modem mounted vertically on opposite side
of swing-arm bracket.

Last year when we moved into our new Home the easiest way to set up our Internet Modem and Router was to simply lay them on our Fireplace Mantel and the wires held them in place. When I made the To-Do List the other day of things needing to done before we leave that was one of the things marked down. Our living room television is mounted on a swing arm which leaves a lot of empty space behind the set. After taking lots of measurements I started first moving our Cell Phone/Internet WE/Boost then mounting the Modem and Routers vertically behind the television. The television still latches securely for travel and the Mantel is free of Electronics and Wires. 

No more electronics or wires on our Mantel.
Forgot to take a before picture.

Kathy was still on her Laptop researching so I started getting things ready to solder the wire harnesses for Multi Waffle LEDs together. While in Quartzsite this past winter we had a problem with leaving our Security Lights on. That issue was resolved but installing Indicator Switches in place of the originals. We also considered changing the Security Lights themselves but they were expensive and they were not as bright as the original Incandescent Bulbs. When someone suggested soldering the leads to Multiple Waffle LED Boards together I started measuring. Once these are finished and installed each Security Light will produce over Seventeen Hundred Lumens of light and combined they will draw less then a quarter of the power of a single Incandescent Bulb.

I got everything ready inside but planned on doing the soldering outside. The sky suddenly filled with dark clouds so I wasn’t going to start soldering in the rain. Checking the Weather Network it showed our area was under the threat of Severe Thunderstorms.

Since it was already supper time and we weren’t sure what to cook and Kathy was tired; we decided to go to the 19^th Hole Restaurant at the front of the Park instead. We enjoyed their Cod Fish and Chips plus we didn’t have to cook it nor clean the dishes. The rain had started but didn’t get heavy until after we got into the R.V.

Back Home we had barely closed the door when the Rain started coming down so hard on the roof it sounded like a drum. We’ll get a few more of those cells tonight but hopefully they won’t be as severe. We’ll hopefully scratch a few more things off our To-Do List tomorrow. Thanks for following along and feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!

It’s about time.
