Ice Melt

Elliott finally had his breakout game last night. He was the only one on his team to score in the first quarter, then went on to be the team high scorer with 8 points. He also had 6 rebounds, and 3 steals. His team lost 21-26 but they really could have won. The other kids missed a lot of inside easy shots (rolled off the rim) and the other team hit a few miracle 3-pointers. But Elliott sure played well!

Today there was a short period of icing. Came down pretty hard for a little while but it didn't amount to much.

I went to the church and re-taped and numbered where the chairs go in the sanctuary. The Christmas banquet is this Saturday night and it really helps to have the floor freshly marked so chair put-back is more efficient.

Even after putting new springs on the garage door yesterday, it still seemed to struggle to close and didn't close evenly. So I released the garage door opener drive chain, sprayed everything with WD-40 (again), worked the door manually a few times, and now it is smooth and quiet.

Lucie had a frustrating day down in Florida. Her uncle is not very mobile and his doctor's office gave her a hard time saying she was not on the approved disclosure list so they couldn't tell her anything about his medical condition. And the doctor wasn't even in today. So she was trying to get on the approved list and then go see the doctor on her own before her uncle's first chemo treatment Friday.

I packed up the Comcast modem I had picked up last week because I am getting the same internet lock outs and error messages as the modem I own. Another tech is due out tomorrow to see what he can find. I will try to return the modem to him to save me the long drive and long wait at the Comcast office. I am noticing some other email issues too but the forums seem to indicate that is a national problem.
