It is fortunate that we don’t often set agendas for our activities. We closely followed today’s lack of agenda by engaging in some loafing and related activities. However, some cumbersome tasks did rear their ugly heads.
First, our new and noisy new phone made a noise and Peggy was able to find out that some boots ordered from Oddball in Portland had arrived at the Wilderness Lakes Ranger station and we wandered over and grabbed them.
We took out the trash. I did some computer work remaining from considerable procrastinating in the far and recent past. Peggy queried insurance companies about how much money we can give them based on where we live. It was all mundane.
Right about time we needed to turn on our heater, the 120 volt circuit it was plugged into made a muted tripped breaker noise and all the outlets on the passenger side of the Invader went dead. The creators of this trailer have cleverly placed the main electrical panel down at floor level which is miserable for fat, elderly persons like me. I flopped down to panel level and began speculating on the electrical issue.
After some unsightly squirming and tortured grunting, I came to the conclusion that the breaker itself was junk. Peggy and I will make another trip to Home Depot tomorrow to attempt to buy a 15 amp breaker. It seems strange that in the last week I have been in more home improvement stores than I used to visit when I lived in a house.
