"I don't know anything about music. In my line you don't have to." - Elvis Presley

I didn't work on the bathroom fan today. Our high was only in the upper 50s and tomorrow will be the low 70s. I decided that sun and warm makes for much better weather for cutting holes in your home.
Instead I finished up and sent off the slide presentations for the sessions I'll do with pastors and elders in Brazil. Now Joe can translate them into Portuguese so they're ready when I get there.
(I don't envy him that job and I'm glad I won't be there when he sees all the slides I sent.)
Aside from going over and over and over my material I've got the basic prep DONE. I'm sure I'll make adjustments on the fly as we go through the sessions and see how quickly or slowly we're moving through the content. Normally I have a feel for that even as I'm doing the prep but when the added time for translation has to be built into the sessions I can't judge the pacing at all.

Three times over the last month we've had a dead battery in the Kia. Yet when AAA comes (two of the times we were away from home and called them) they say the battery doesn't need replacing. When it happened last night (we were getting ready to go into town) I put it on the charger and it was fully charged in about an hour. Huh????

Then the bells started to go off. A similar thing happened a couple of years ago - the battery discharging too far to start the car - and I traced it to the module in the trailer lighting harness I installed. Even with the car off and the key removed the guts of that module leaked a wee amount of voltage to the parking lights, just enough to have them on ever so faintly and draw down the battery over several hours. I got a replacement module ($60!), spent an afternoon laying on the ground underneath the Kia's rear end installing it, and solved the problem.
Sure enough, if I put my nose right up against the lens I could again see that the parking lights were just barely lit. So this morning before Pam headed into town for her ladies' Bible study I climbed under the car and pulled the fuse from that harness. I'll have to install it every time I want to use the trailer but I'm more willing to do that than pop for another module at $60 and wait for it to also fail...at the worst possible time.

Our hens seem to have gone on strike. We were getting six or seven eggs a day out of our eight hens but for the last week it's been one or two per day. Then this morning I noticed one of them carrying a "Red for Eggs" sign.
I've changed when the light comes on in the coop hoping that will help. 

Breaking news: We got five eggs today. With only seven laying (the broody hen won't lay until she's given up hope of hatching those plastic eggs) this counts as success.
