Today the electricians came back and put in a new electric meter for us. They came last Tuesday but it was raining that morning so they didn't stay and do the work. Today hey got here about 7:30 and the power was off for several hours. Got breakfast over with fortunately before they got here. Bleeped my computer off before I realized they were turning it off. I had saved 3 big buckets of water for whatever, flushing the toilet etc. but never even had to use it. I didn't go out there to check out what the meter looks like yet except from a distance.
The power meter reader drives up to the front gate and never gets out of the truck - reads the meter with a spotting scope. Vicious dogs, you know. It looks like it's turned about 90 degrees away from facing the gate, so it will be interesting to see how they read the meter now! It will also be interesting to see if our bill changes any. It has been fluctuating quite a bit from month to month. So that was our excitement for today.
I just wish Joe had been agreeable to putting the power line underground in the yard and gotten rid of that stupid pole in the middle of the yard and right in front of the garages - an accident waiting to happen. He also didn't take my suggestion of having them put a motion sensor yard light on the pole either. Of course, what do I know. ....Except that I'm tired of walking around with a flashlight when its pitch black out and I have to go outside.
What a beautiful day we had. And looks like it will stay warm and nice for some time. Had some nice phone visits today. And got a whole bunch of my photos sorted and filed away. Had let that go way too long, but this is the first I've sat down to do it. I got the bills paid - banking on line. I sure like that way of paying the bills. Tomorrow we go back to Pinedale for another Dr. appointment for Joe. It has to do with changing some of his medicine. I'll go out to the framers and pick up my artwork while we are in town. I need to fill up with gas for the trip to Riverton this weekend too.
Today I spent the afternoon and evening sorting, filing and labeling all the pictures I've taken for a couple of months. I actually quite enjoyed doing it, and it feels good to have that done. My program didn't want to start again when I stuck the card in, but after many tries it did work. I printed out the invitations for the SCAG business meeting here on the 24th, and got those addressed to mail. They will go out tomorrow.
Power Guy in a Bucket He didn't invite me for a ride.
