And the saga continues....

August 6 – We thought it was lucky that  we didn’t  go to work  until 3 today as the generator shut down with an overheat code.  Bill drove to town to get oil and on his way back they had closed the  road and  he had to  find a way  around it.   He said he just hoped for the best.  I didn’t  know why  he was  taking so  long so I called and he said he was close but explained what a hassle it was.  He got the right oil and put it in the generator and all was well.

Today we both went in at 3 as our shift is until 8.  The generator shut off again and this time it was decided it needed antifreeze.  Since it was cooler out today and our neighbors were going to dinner with friends they said they’d stop and get the antifreeze so opened the windows and Molly would be fine.

Bill couldn’t work early as he had to park incoming RV’s.  In and around that duty he mostly mowed.  Well, Pam figured out she could access the phone messages through her phone and then had Terri and do that until closing.  She did them the first hour as she was ending her shift and then I took over and we had continual messages until about 7:15.  A lot wanted to know our power and water situation.  Some wanted to cancel or move their dates further out.  Some were happy to bring their generators and just get out.  So it should still be a busy weekend but no activity in the Rec Hall though. 

I did take my book and crocheting but it really wasn’t enough light with our lantern and flashlight to see my book but I did finish a couple of crocheting projects.  Bill was supposed to microwave the leftover brats and corn on the cob and bring mine over, but since the generator was off he split and fried the brats and didn’t do the corn but brought me some raw veggies and a slice of sharp cheddar.  I was happy to get whatever by 7!

We kinda sat in the dark once we got home and I saw a head near the generator and sent Bill out.  It was our neighbor putting the antifreeze in.  We started it and all was well!  We ran it until bed time since it was nice and cool out and just let the batteries take care of the fridge.
