Awake for the usual reason at 1 a.m., noticed that the motion sensor-activated security light was on over at Kate & Dan’s.  Investigated and found nothing amiss; strongly suspect the same ghost as likes to activate shed garage doors. Took apart the hot water faucet on the RV kitchen sink.  Found nothing wrong.  Reassembled the faucet and it now works perfectly.  This is why plumbers get gray hair… and make so much money!  Spent the day finishing the RV reactivation checklist, emptying the van of tools, getting the Ranger out of hibernation (left rear tire completely flat again, but the truck did start with the first turn of the key), running errands (drinking water and Triangle Square Circle sign from Lynne & Perry’s, chain saw gas / 2-cycle oil / fuel stabilizer, ice cream), and cutting up sundry downed trees (plus one standing dead that Perry thought was a widow-maker ready to strike, so he left it for me to take down… which I did and lived to tell the tale).  Perry came over after he finished work and helped set up the radial arm saw… then discovered that I (unknowingly, I swear) have started serving non-alcoholic beer.  There goes my hard earned reputation…
