Diary Entry for 1/31/1999

-15° overnight. Our water froze again. We didn’t go to church. I called Wayne to see if I could get it fixed. Rick came over and found out water meter base is frozen again and cracked. I called Wayne and he brought over new cast iron base fro village. The village guys didn’t insulate it last time. Phil Hughes called to check about it. Rick borrowed Delles’s Salamander again and thawed it out. He insulated it read good this time. Nancy and Wayne brought church tape. Stayed for a visit. Jim called on way home from Nancy’s. I called Vern’s in evening. June and her neighbors had gone to movies. Vernon has gout (little toe). Jolie called in evening. Hard for her to stay in bed. I gave Rick $50. He didn’t want to take it. He wouldn’t take any for today’s work.
