Wow, what a wild party. Nothing better than a Baptists' 88 year old's lady's party. Wild, simply does not describe it for sure. Comatose is closer to accurate.

We got to my MIL's house and a I sat down. Seconds later my wife pointed to the HIVAC air filter in the hall. So I got that changed. The the MIL mentioned she had some computer problems. Two hours later that was fixed. Then we went to lunch, at a steak joint, and they let me pay!

We went from the restaurant right to a Lowe's and bought a new doorbell system. The hearing for my MIL is not good at all. So we have a new doorbell that is wireless, and the ringer is sitting on the table next to her chair. It flashes color lights, and has a full LOUD Westminster chime. Of course if I knew I was going to install that, I would have brought some tools, like my electric drill driver to ram screws through the aluminum siding in to the wood under it. Instead I had a stubby Phillips screwdriver with no way to really apply any torque. Had it not been for my pocket knife (Victorinox Swiss officers knife) the project would be impossible.

Two hours later with my hand cramping from gripping a stupid stubby screwdriver and applying 100 foot pounds of torque to drive the screws through aluminum and aged wood I was done.

Golly it was fun.

Disclaimer: I honestly love my MIL. She is wonderful, and a great lady. I would happily do whatever is needed to make her life easier. I am a VERY lucky man to have a great MIL and a great wife. Right now I am a bit upset at my wife for not warning me that I should have brought some basic tools. I need a beer, maybe two.
