Everything Fred – Part 34

4 June 2021

I had an intruder last night. I didn’t realize it until about 4 am. Amazingly, whoever it was was able to bypass my security system. No alarm sounded. It’s not like he or she could “cut” the phone line. My system has a radiotelephone and its located in the house. Fortunately nothing was taken but it was a little unnerving to know that someone had been in your house and hadn’t waked me.

Around 4 am I had an itch on my right buttock and as I scratched at it I realized there was something sticking to it. I didn’t think anything of it but whatever it was I placed it on the dresser next to the bed and figured I would look at it in the morning.

When I got up and started my routine I remembered whatever it was sticking to my butt was on the dresser. Here’s what I found.

There were two of these affixed to my right buttock!

I have no idea what QC stands for but apparently my butt passed inspection. Big brother really is an issue! Maybe it was Qanon, C branch! In a sense I’m pleased my butt pleased someone enough to pass but the least they could have done was wake me and inform me in person. Apparently my right buttock passed inspection twice since there were two stickers affixed. However, my left buttock left much to be desired. It didn’t even rate one sticker. Maybe I was even sexually assaulted in my sleep! If so, I don’t think I would rate the rater very highly as I didn’t remember the assault.

I guess it was a good thing I was rolled over on my stomach and they didn’t have the chance to rate another part of my anatomy.

Maybe it wasn’t an intruder from Qanon. I ordered two pairs of shorts from LLBean and they arrived yesterday and I tried on one pair and wore that pair the rest of the day. Perhaps, just perhaps, it was a shorts inspector. Why would they put inspection tags on the inside of shorts? And yes, I cop to the sin of not wearing underwear when I wear shorts and gym shorts in the house. Apparently the stickers came off the shorts and on to my ass.

I would never be caught dead outside on the highway without clean underwear because Mother would come back and haunt me from the grave. Do people really wear dirty underwear on trips? I don’t want to know if that’s even a thing!

Strange things seem to be going on in my life these days. I have a generator company that services my generator four times a year. Normally, I receive an invoice from them for the year’s service at the beginning of each year. I hadn’t heard from them (plus I owed them for a battery) so I called and asked why they hadn’t sent an invoice?

I’m not sure they like me at the generator company because I’ve complained in the past about their service agents signing off on checking the battery when they haven’t checked the battery. I’ve had two blow up inside the generator over the years because of low levels of water in the battery. I was thinking I was too much trouble for them to continue the yearly service contract.

The ladies that run the office were very appreciative I had called. Apparently they had been having computer problems but they felt everything was back to normal. I was sent an invoice for yearly service by email and I paid it online with my Amazon credit card. They told me the invoice in for the battery would be forthcoming.

Yesterday I get a duplicate invoice for the yearly service asking me to pay (again). I pulled up my credit card statement and saw that the charge went through on May 10th. I called today and the real story is someone hacked their computers and they were still having problems. I guess I’ll have to keep a close eye on my Amazon account for a long while.

I did get the battery invoice and paid it by check and sent it off in the mail. Of course, with the U.S. Postal Service service, it may or may not get there.

I’ve also been trying to replace a lost tent pole for my 2 person, 4 season Sierra Designs tent. I found a company called Tentpole Technologies out of Vancouver, Washington who will make replacements. I sent them the end pole I had and asked them to make the end pole I was missing but with a female end. They are a very nice bunch of people in Vancouver! They called me and discussed exactly what I wanted. Within a few days I received my original end pole and the newly manufactured one.

Unfortunately, they duplicated the original end pole exactly. The original I sent them had a male end which slips into a female end. I needed a replacement for the lost end pole that had a female end.

Back the original goes in the mail with a new explanation. I get a phone call. Very courteous those people in Vancouver! A few days later I get a second end pole with a male part, the original end pole with a male part and a middle pole with a female end.

Yesterday I send the original end pole back with two photos. One shows the original pole showing the male end crossed out and another showing a middle pole with a female end. I said on the photo I wanted the original end pole with the end shown on the middle pole. Stay tuned!

I was also missing a plastic connector where cross poles meet. They got that right the first time. I also ordered shock cord to thread through the poles to replace the old, stretched out shock cord. Hopefully, I will soon have everything fixed so I can use the 4 season tent again!

For the last week we’ve been forecast with over 60% rain each and every day. It has rained once, briefly. I suspect I’ll need to add water to the pool tomorrow. Perhaps not. The rain chance is down to 6% and lower for the rest of the week. The last time that happened, the pool overflowed.

After 34 years in the classroom and lab teaching biology, I'm ready to get back to traveling and camping and hiking. It's been too long of a break. I miss the outdoors and you can follow my wanderings on this blog.
