Sharp's Travels

When I got up this morning the only plan I had was to take Cheri out for breakfast. We decided to go to Dade City for breakfast at the Black eyed Pea. We had coffee and split a breakfast skillet. Then it was back home for a bathroom stop before heading out to stop at Larry and Denise’s house to check the humidity in their house as it was on the high side so they are running the air conditioner to bring it down and found it down to 55%. Then we made a stop at Lowes as Cheri wanted some more molding and trim paint. She also bought a sample of a dark blue that she wants to paint the wall at the head of our bed. I also got new water filters as I thought it has been a year since I last changed them. Our last stop was Wal-Mart for groceries and other things we needed. It was noon by the time we got done with all of that. No lunch today because of the big breakfast. This afternoon Cheri was dusting and dreaming about other changes she wants to do in the house. I worked on installing the additional hinge we got at Lowes for the cabinet. Installed the new water filters and had been over two years since I last changed them. After that I worked on the refrigerator ice maker as having problems with it again. It had leaked water down into the bottom of the refrigerator and froze and couldn’t get the crisper drawer open. I used the small blower to thaw it out. I also found a way to force the icemaker into a thaw cycle. I ordered and additional part for the ice maker that should help it from freezing up. I quit at 4:30 pm and more to do on it. At 4:45 pm I got a call from a party over in Tampa Bay country that said there toilet was running and can’t get it to stop. I tried to tell her to shut off the water but wasn’t able to get it turned off. Long story short I headed out to do the repair. On the way I stopped at Lowes to get new parts. I put all new parts in and fixed the problem. The fill valve was causing the problem. She wasn’t strong enough to shut the water all the way off. I was back home by 6:30 pm. Cheri fixed us a ribeye steak with the leftover potato salad for supper and a little later a bowl of watermelon. Our evening was watching a home improvement how and a John Wayne movie. Thank you God for a blessed day.
