• Sunday (2/24): Had electrical brown out during breakfast. At work, Mary texted me. She couldn't call out and asked that I contact the electrical coop, because power was at a minimum. I did. Two trucks arrived mid-afternoon. High winds meant that crew was working since the night before last repairing electrical lines. We had a break in cable on 2 thick wires between the transformer and the house. They fixed it and all electrical items ran great. We might have had that break developing for years. Don't notice lights flickering during winds, like they used to do.
• Monday (2/25): Several flights of snow geese flying east to west over the house today.
• Tuesday (2/26): Cut firewood. More snow geese flying overhead.
• Wednesday (2/27): Started a new meal. Caramelize red onions in a cast iron skillet, then cook easy over eggs on top of the cooked onions...it's really delicious and is our form of fast food.
• Thursday (2/28): We got paid via an electronic transfer from Wells Fargo to our checking account for my Mid-Rivers pension. We'll now get that every month until both Mary and I croak. Oh, it's nice to be a geezer!
• Friday (3/1): Shopped in Quincy. Packed up a ton of items to donate to the Salvation Army and dropped them off. Ate Aldi pizza for our evening meal.
