Thursday 11-1 Doing Weekly Chores

Lake Belton 

We had another cool windy day. We've had so much rain that Lake Belton is fourteen feet over full. Since we have been home they have been been letting a lot of water thru the gate and the lake is still fourteen feet over full.

Yesterday when Larry was assembling the fittings on the water heater he used plumbing tape to seal them. He checked for leaks and he found a couple really small leaks. He tightened the connectors a little more and waited over night. This morning the connectors had seeped a little so he took them apart and replaced the tape with pipe dope. He reassembled and tightened the connectors again and checked for leaks. He found no leaks.

After breakfast we went to town to do a few errands. The first stop was the UPS Store to pick up our mail and a package that was waiting for us. We then went to Ace Hardware for a drain piece we needed, they had the piece but it was almost twice the price of Home Depot. Before going to the Home Depot we stopped by HEB to do our weekly shopping. After doing our errands we went back to the house.

Doing weekly errands

In the afternoon I did my weekly housework, which was cleaning and vacuuming the house.

Weekly Chores

Larry and Patrica came by the house around 5:00 to ride with us to Sun City for the Sundancers Thursday A dancing. We had two squares and three extra couples. We hadn't danced on Thursdays in over two months. Everyone was happy to see us and gave us a great welcome back. We had a super time. The last tape was called by Tony Oxendine, it was outstanding, very fun and very challenging.
