The high today was 11⁰F with a pleasant northerly breeze resulting in a wind chill of -10⁰F. If I still had a mustache, it would be frozen.
Not surprisingly "Our" Mike apparently did not find anyone anxious to work on the backyard. However, the cable company did show up to hook up the ground wire they did not hook up when they rerouted the cable line to the underground conduit. Please don't assume the cable company did this on their own initiative. While complaining to the cable company yesterday about our dismal internet performance, I mentioned to a Supervisor that this wire was never hooked up. He said he would enter a ticket to get it hooked up. I am pleased he did what he promised.
T and I spent the afternoon at the Art Museum, having lunch at the Boathouse in Forest Park.
I love retirement!
Tonight, it is forecast to get down to 0⁰F. Tomorrow it will warm up to about 25⁰F. No word from Mike if there will be any activity in the backyard.
Interestingly, we got an email from our Alderwoman (Christine) yesterday about the alley issue. She apologized for never responding to my October request to continue our conversation and wondered if we needed to discuss the matter further. I responded today that, yes, we do need to continue the discussion, but that we have more time than I thought last fall to resolve the issue of ownership of the alley. I recapped the conversation we have had to date. We'll see if we hear back from her.
BTW, today is the 149th day since our construction permit was granted. The permit was for 184 days to February 11, 2015.
