Living
with Jim and Gayle
July, 2024
Jim updated our entire home monitoring system.
I wanted our dishwasher filters cleaned. This is not a straightforward task for our dishwasher. Jim undertook disassembling the interior only to find that the filters were fine.
Stepping out of my comfort zone, I joined a group of pickleball ladies for a pool party.
The Hanford museum, the Reach, had a free admission Tuesday. The museum is really well done, showing the geology and history of the area.
I'm having mixed success with my garden. I've picked only a couple of cucumbers and a few cherry tomatoes, but a lot of basil and yellow squash. There are lots of jalepeno peppers and carrots growing. So far, there are only two butternut squash and no honeynut squash. The green peppers are quite small as are the full size tomatoes. I have six cantalope which is exciting. I've never grown them so I hope they mature.
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) has blocked the river access where we put the boat in the water to salmon fish. The access they left open is one that we have tried in the past and although, with great difficulty, we got the boat into the water, we couldn't get it out from that access point. Unless something changes before the start of fishing mid-September, we will be unable to salmon fish this fall.
Our solar panels ARE working on our California house. The power company misread the meters. The bill has not been corrected but solar is being generated.
Bo had a seizure this month.
