Stirred up my fire to try to burn it out better. It's a little chilly out here, but I'm not ready to climb into my bed just yet.

Guess it's bedtime for the little guy in the camper next to me.

Ooh. I was cleaning up my yard, moved a piece of concrete and uncovered one of these little dudes. I covered it with bark and moss (the concrete needed to go). Hope it was okay.

One of the librarians at my conference last week was trying to get her boss to okay a kiddo rave. Wonder if this is where she got the idea.

Is there a bird or bug or animal that sounds like a child playing the same note on a recorder over and over? Or do I need to kill someone?

Made it to Indiana! Hello, Lake Michigan. You're preltty.

A walkway made of wide plates of, possibly, plastic leads out toward the flat blue water. Big staples hold them together. This is what I need. My legs and feet don't understand how to walk in sand.

The sun is getting low in the sky as I look down the beach. A couple sitting in chairs cast a long shadow along the sand. Water laps against the sand and of the beach.

I forgot about time zones. Hahaha. My phone does a fine job, but my car does not.

I’m supposed to leave on vacation in the morning. Trying to get everything together. I am not together.

Jeanne Ball @saintsrest.bsky.social · 20h

I know the other team is pushing hard, but it sure would be nice to see the guys buckle down and finish the game when it’s close like that.

Jeanne Ball @saintsrest.bsky.social · 20h

I don’t listen to the radio show on the way home if there’s a loss. I watched it. I don’t have to relive it. But, yes, way more fun with a W.

Jeanne Ball @saintsrest.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Don’t trust my own eyes at this point.

Jeanne Ball @saintsrest.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

I stand corrected! The speed that came off and the angle, I didn’t realize it was a save.

Jeanne Ball @saintsrest.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Did he? From up here it looked like the guy missed.

Jeanne Ball @saintsrest.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Silovs didn’t make a single save in that shootout. #LetsGoPens

Not a bad OT, but I don’t have much faith in… well, anyone on this team to do what they need to do to get the extra point. #LetsGoPens

I’m gonna have to wear a toque!

Jeanne Ball @saintsrest.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Consolation: western team we aren’t hurting ourselves by giving them a point. But it should have been a W already. #LetsGoPens

Jeanne Ball @saintsrest.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Would have been nice to win a faceoff there. #LetsGoPens

I went to the loo and my nose is purpley from the cold! I sit on an aisle now. No heat from a neighbor.

Jeanne Ball @saintsrest.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

I’m freezing and kids are watching the game in shorts. I wasn’t that kid even when I was a kid. I was the kid who was freezing because my feet got sweaty and then cold.

Jeanne Ball @saintsrest.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

That went in? Yay! Glad they don’t depend on me to turn on the lights. #LetsGoPens

Please please please please Show why it’s called a power play, please! #LetsGoPens

I just got @oliviawaite.com’s Murder By Memory from my library’s Libby collection to listen on my drive tomorrow. Also @marthawells.com’s All Systems Red, which I’ve read a couple of times but I’ll let someone else do the job for me this time. Should get me to Indiana.

Jeanne Ball @saintsrest.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Any idea how hard that shot was? Ricocheted like 10 rows back.

Jeanne Ball @saintsrest.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Own goal? *sigh* The team should be required to log a complaint at the time of the missed call. (Also, I thought it was a high stick before they entered the zone)

Jeanne Ball @saintsrest.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

I don’t know if my seat neighbor thinks that was a bad call (clearly tripping) or upset about one of the Pens took a penalty. #LetsGoPens

Lot more color on the trees this week than last! Pretty drive down for the hockey game. #LetsGoPens

I’ve been taking (generic) Pepcid for a little bit now and it hasn’t stopped my reflux, but it seems to make it hurt a lot less when it happens. Yay! Now if only I could convince my esophagus to work properly, I’d be golden (I’m looking at you, lower esophageal sphincter).

Jeanne Ball @saintsrest.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Okay, last comment. I looked up this pressure switch’s instructions. It also said the pump should be on the inside two screws and the power on the outer two. The plumber had them switched (the black and white wires are power). Could that affect how it ran? Because it was always weird.

000

Jeanne Ball @saintsrest.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

May. That's when this pressure switch was replaced. Can you spot any problems? I sent this picture to my brother asking if it was worth trying to fix.

A well pressure switch with the cover off. One small piece is detached and laying down on the left. The piece is in place on the right.

Also, the far left wire looks like it's barely held in place by the screw.

Also Also, the power wires are on the inside and the pump wires are on the outside, which is backwards from how the new switch said to wire them.

Jeanne Ball @saintsrest.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Got everything done, flipped the power back on, watched and listened as everything filled up. No leaks as far as I can tell. Nothing blew up. Yet. Had a black cat look in the window as I was pumping. Obviously a good sign.

Jeanne Ball @saintsrest.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

I’m using a 40-60 switch instead of a 30-50 and I sure hope that’s okay for the pump because I have no clue, but the bladder tank is factory-set at 38 (but was down to 28 for the other switch). So then I had to pump 10 psi into the thing with a hand bicycle tire pump. Tire being the operative word.

Jeanne Ball @saintsrest.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Reviewed the instructions on the switch lid before putting it on and realized I’d reversed the wires. So I had to fix that. It went better since I’d already stripped and shaped the wires. Remind me to shove them through before exposing more copper ‘cause I just squished the crap out of the ends.

100

Jeanne Ball @saintsrest.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Dear Lord, let that go easier the next time I attempt it. Lost a screw. Couldn’t find it. Couldn’t find something to fit. Stole one of the ground screws to use for the other wires and smooshed both grounds to one screw. If that’s going to burn down my house, please let me know.

The white “unkown” slab? I didn’t open the link because I didn’t want to enter my email

Ate supper while waiting for my phone to charge before I get to work. Maybe things will look better when I get back.

Jeanne Ball @saintsrest.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Watched a video. Guy in video: Don’t remove this cover without turning the electricity off first! Me: Uhhh. Oops.

Jeanne Ball @saintsrest.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

That’s a delicate process, seems.

Jeanne Ball @saintsrest.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

If they continue to suck, I should get down to my basement and deal with my plumbing issues.

She loves her tea. And protecting our communities.

Jeanne Ball @saintsrest.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

And then Columbus scores. So maybe the Pens will wake up. #LetsGoPens

Jeanne Ball @saintsrest.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

First shot of the game after 9:29 passed in the first… including a PP. Got to do better, buddies. #LetsGoPens
