Rental Car Reserved

Tuesday, April 25th, 2000

Dear   [Lynn],

The Hertz car has been reserved. And you get unlimited miles without additional charge. Apparently a pretty good deal. Be sure however to bring a MAJOR credit card with you and a valid drivers license. They say that the credit card cannot be an ATM or checking account card. It must be a true credit card.

I wonder if playing in the mud is a blond thing? :-)

Could you send along your flight number (into State College), your arrival time, and airline? This would help me to find you. :-)

Rental Cars

Tuesday, April 25th, 2000

Hey   [Lynn],

They have Avis, Hertz, and National car rental places in State College, and the rates are $89, $49, and $85 per day, respectively. I’m assuming you’d like the cheapest one – Hertz at $49. However, is this within your price range? Do you want the car for 4 days (from Wednesday to Sunday)? Let me know, and I’ll reserve it. Oh, and by the way, the guy at Hertz said that they have lots of cars in stock, so getting one tomorrow, even if not reserved today, should not be a problem.

Bathroom Remodeling: 2000-04-25

Tuesday, April 25th, 2000

Dear   [Lynn],

Good morning. 47 degrees here under clear, blue, sunny skies.

Installed the sink last night, only to find out that the last lock nut cannot be tightened with the rest of the sink together. I should have tightened it earlier in the assembly process. And since it is part of the drain system, the sink leaks when water is applied. :-) Sooooo, will need to partially disassemble it again today and do the tightening. And, had to cut some pipe to make everything fit properly. But it looks very nice. Brand new, shiny faucets and a very large bowl, and two soap compartments. Bodacious!!!

Packing hasn’t been too much of a problem for me in recent years. I’ve taken so many trips home since high school that I guess I’m a veteran traveler now. Of course I have a huge suit case these days. Two in fact. And when visiting home from Philly, I would bring both of those, plus a back pack. :-)

Say hi to Annie and the others for me.

Well, enjoy your day. Another busy one on tap here. May need to make another shopping trip, and lots more laundry to do – spring cleaning.

Talk to you later.
