Log
06:45 AM: I’m up. My weight dropped 1.5 pounds from yesterday, to 175.0 Lbs. See here for a summary of the progress on this goal so far in 2010.
08:50 AM: Working the Sump Pump Replacement: 2010 project.
10:05 AM: It’s quite windy. Light rain so far and I believe I just heard a distant thunder clap. Hard to know though if it was really thunder, or the roaring wind in the trees outside the office window here. But no matter. The wind alone is making for some severe weather. Lots of garbage and broken limbs in the yard already.
11:00 AM: Worked the Pink’s PC Problems: 2010-03-10 project.
12:40 PM: Going shopping to get supplies for the Sump Pump Replacement: 2010 project.
02:00 PM: I got back home a little while ago.
03:15 PM: Read more of the Team of Rivals book.
04:00 PM: Worked the Sump Pump Replacement: 2010 project. The new sump pump has been installed. Just a few more finishing and cleanup tasks to complete now.
06:30 PM: Water has reached the pavilion for the second time this year. Sister Jojo and her daughter came by to help us remove moisture-sensitive items from the basement.
09:40 PM: Water has now assumed a position eight feet beyond the pavilion. I’ve moved the lawn mower out of the shed nearby and brought it up to the house and covered it with a tarp. We also brought the other gas-powered tools to the house as well, just in case the water engulfs the shed.
10:30 PM: Talked with [Emmy]. Sounds like she’s getting a cold now.
11:15 PM: Took the weekly system backups.
11:45 PM: The river hasn’t risen appreciably in the past two hours, and the basement is still quite dry. So, I’m headed to bed but will get up early tomorrow morning to see if the water’s edge has moved any closer to the house here. So, take care and have a great night. I’ll see you back here in less than ten hours.
11:55 PM: Read more of the Team of Rivals book.
12:15 AM: Heading to bed. Good night and take care.
