Tracfone

Coker, Alabama

Weather: low 72 degrees, high 85 degrees, mostly cloudy all day, sprinkles late

After my morning walk in cooler than normal weather with clouds, we went with Terri to look at a house for sale in Northport. The house is located in a nice subdivision of older homes built in the 1970s. The yards are bigger than normal and the trees and ornamental plants are mature, providing good shade. This house has been well cared for and was updated in 2002. We will be checking into this one a little more.

We are using a Tracfone for a telephone number to sell the items that Terri has for sale. Yesterday, we bought more minutes for the phone, and it took me until this morning to figure out how to add the minutes. The problem was that the instructions were not that clear, and I am probably technically challenged when it comes to the new electronics. Why is it that kids seem to pick up the intricacies of electronics faster than an adult does? Anyway, I finally figured out what to do, and now I can add minutes to the phone. Here's hoping I don't need to do it again, because I'll probably forget what I did.

The US Open golf tournament is being played in San Diego this weekend, and we watched part of it tonight. It was great sports to watch the golf pros and the problems they had on the course. By the end of today's round, the best in the world, Tiger Woods, had proven again that he is the best, even though he has not played in two months because of knee surgery. It was obvious that his knee was bothering him, but he gritted it out to finish today with a one shot lead. If he maintains this lead, he will win his 14th major championship tomorrow. We'll be watching.

Today was a slow day, maybe tomorrow I will have more to write about.

More later, be safe.

Dad,

We have the same troubles with our (Julian's) phone. You're not alone- or old.

Don't forget to check for aluminum wiring in 1970s vintage houses. We had it at Briarcliff and it did on two occasions cause outlets to arc and one actually started smoking. Plus, you could whack the walls and make the lights flicker when the aluminum to copper joints would separate.
