October 13, 2008 - Happy Thanksgiving!


View of the day-The snow continues to fall for the better part of the day.

Another day of snow piling up, but we did get to see the sun later on in the day as the weather system died out. It was even warm enough to start melting so we didn't need to get the tractor in service.

Al had a busy day of NFL football, CFL football, baseball playoffs...he did manage to take a break from all the action to go into town after lunch.

We were having some light switch problems in one of our bathrooms in the house, they were getting rather worn out and you had to hold your tongue just right to get the light to stay on. Marilyn decided it was time to change out the switches so we went in to Canadian Tire to pick up some new ones...and she decided to switch out the razor plug in while she was at it. The switches went in like a dream and the hooking up of the new GFCI plug in wasn't a problem either. The trouble came when she realized the faceplate that came with the plug in was a single and the razor was a double...not only that, but there was no place to screw the cover to...the holes were all wrong and with football on TV, there was no way Al was going into town to get the right part...if there was such a thing.

Out came the dremel tool and some fancy fabricating went on and with a few zip ties, a flat bracket and some hole drilling, it looks like factory...well...let's just say that it works. At least until we get back from soybeans and get the right box put in.

And as for football, we took the flag down off the combine, but the Roughriders got their a$$es handed to them on a platter...42 to 5...
