1/13/16 "New" Leather Couches

     On Monday our friends the Glenn's asked us if we would be interested in there old leather couch and love seat. We checked them out. They are well worn (Heidi likes the phrase "well loved"). There are some small tears and one 6 inch one on the love seat. Heidi decided that she was up to the task of restoring them so we are now in possession of new (to us) couches. They are very comfy. This morning Heidi and I went to the fabric store to buy patch material. With some effort we found the needed supplies. Heidi discovered that one of the two packages had been opened and the brown color had been stolen. She made sure to let the store workers know. After all that Heidi discovered at home that the glue in the kit was all dried out. Bummer, we'll have to try again another time. I'll try to remember to get a before and after picture. 

       The other big-ish thing that happened today was with my tech calling. One of the connectors on an important cable was broken during the last time it was used. Brother Charlie Cluff has both the tools and the talent to repair such things. He kindly met me at the stake center. He replaced the end but for a while we still had connection problems. It was Brother Cluff who eventually discovered the culprit was a bad RF to RCA adapter. We tossed the offending device and should now be more ready for the upcoming conferences.
