Daily Notes from the North Pole (Maine) 17 degrees...Single digits overnight. Sunshine. Snow on the ground.


This image feels "warm" in a very chilly Maine house.  Yes, it's 17 degrees outside... no sunshine. I am assuming the recent oil delivery was based on the forecast.  Top up the tanks.

One and a half hours and son and I will discover if the NEW Generator will go on for the five minute regular Sunday TEST......and on Tuesday Morning Rick is driving down to my house to see what's what with the Generator.  Rick said the test is set from somewhere between 10am and noon on Sunday. Every Sunday.  It's 9:30.  I got up early so I would hear it IF it actually happens.  My Lunch Buddy says when hers goes off it is seriously annoying.

Me?  How am I?  Not good.  I am tired but can't sleep. And then sleep too much.  I want to read but can't stay focused.  Things I want to watch are not in my cable line up..... British soccer is usually on Peacock... something I have to buy......But there is some Soccer at 10 am????   I am usually not awake at 10 am.

I'm COLD.  I'm OLD.  I'm BORED.  I couldn't LIFT the plastic container of blue fabric off the shelf. Just could not lift the weight of it. (my back was sending me warning flags and flashing lights) ..so I had to make do with a few scraps in the scrap box by my couch and sew a new wider border to a square.  So now I can also say I am WEAK.  

The SUN has broken thru and the Sunporch is SUNNY.  Freezing cold but sunny.  So bright it's hurting my eyes.  Good ( I hope) Football games today..... Buffalo and Kansas City.  Both Freezing Cold Weather Teams.  At 3 pm Washington and Philly.   Sunday Pizza.  My jar of dark chocolate candy is full.  

I need a fresh cup of hot sweet tea......then my couch and my down lap blanket and the TV clicker.  And the Generator to run its test.....I seriously doubt that will happen... seriously...doubt.

But if it Does go on for 5 minutes...I'll come back with an update....

I hope all goes well with the generator. Ours goes off every Sunday. I don't find it as loud as your friend has indicated except when I have the windows open. Then it seems to rumble and roar. With windows closed I have to listen hard to hear it.
