Duolingo! Anthony! Power! Unlock! Fridge! 7.20-21.23

Tim A. Cummins @ 5:42 pm  

We lost power Thursday night. K and I slept at Days Inn. She needed the cool air and power for her CPAP. Thus the two day report!

This is an all time 7 day high for me in Duolingo. Extraordinary, really. I’m sure a lot of people don’t make that much in a year.


EVERYONE will be dealing with the impact of this. The storm we had blow through last night was scary. The wind was just whipping the trees around like they were nothing.

I’ve been doing a lot of cell phone carrier research. NOT satisfied with ATT. Keeps dropping my calls lately. Very frustrating. I think we’ll go with Mint mobile which uses the T Mobile network.

OYB!

Had a fun chat with my buddy, Anthony on Thursday.

Walked 2.42 miles.

I was thirsty when I got back!

Looking into shopping around for home insurance.

Tim helped me set up my life insurance request. The group I was using nearly tripled what I was being charged. I’ll have to get a medical test this coming Sunday. Paramedic will come by to draw blood and take vitals. I plan on doing a complete physical in August with my regular doctor. Medicare should cover all of that.


Huge storm blew through our area around 6:00 PM.

Broke a tree limb which clobbered the power line.

Snapped off the top of our pole.

Friday they put in a new one that only has the power line on it.

This was blocking my driveway. That’s the second time this has happened!

I took out my garbage can and the firemen put some tape up to keep people from running over it.

We spent the night at Days Inn. It was better than sleeping on the porch! Plus K could actually breathe. That’s the main reason we went to the hotel really. She needed her CPAP machine.

This morning was cooler. But still super humid.

Walked 3.98 miles. Kind of fun to do a different route. A lot of it was on my bike route.

I saw this on my walk. Interesting bubbles.

I came back to the house early this morning to check on the work. It took them hours to plant the new pole and wire it up. We were out of power nearly a whole day.

I picked up all the external batteries I had and took them to the hotel to charge up.

Just keep going.

All our phones are paid off. In order to go with another carried I have to get them all unlocked. Went of the ATT store to talk to them about that. They said all of it had to be done on line. Weird how in person can’t do things now.

I got my phone and Ashley’s unlocked so far. I have to have the IMEI number of Jessi’s and Kathy’s phone before I can complete the project.

Went by Publix to pick up some medicine for J. Interesting shadow.

Came home to clear out the food that spoiled during the power outage. This stuff I thought was still ok.

Had to clean out the ice maker. It had thawed out and was a big mess.

The frozen stuff seemed ok.

Swept the house.

Talked with the ATT guy to verify that the first two phones were unlocked.

I was planning on doing some yard work this evening when it got cooler. More thunderstorms are blowing through. Hopefully, they don’t knock anything else over!
