A breezy day in the Tropical Tip. I put the cover on the boat, anticipating a front to blow through this afternoon; supposed to drop temps overnight and tomorrow, with 25+ mph north winds. Again, it is a relative thing - the high tomorrow is only supposed to be in the upper 60s. I am not kidding when I say the forecast winds for tonight are: "NNW@29 gusting to 24. (??) Not often you see gusts lower than the steady wind. ;-)
Today's project: replace door locks and install new lever-knobs. We are going high-tech with push-button exterior locks that can also be run by an app. DIY install. How hard can that be? ;-)
In fact, it was all pretty straight-forward. The new deadbolt is deeper than the old one, so I had to chisel out enough depth for that. Joan set up all the app stuff. Slick.
We re-keyed the locks. Installed and re-keyed the door knob-lever. (Probably a better name for that.)
We are a team: I made sawdust and wood chips, Joan vacuumed. We went out for a late lunch, and didn't have to worry about a key.
Yeah, but what about the important daily activities? You mean: Izzy? She was keeping an eye outside this morning...
She spent the afternoon keeping an eye on what we were doing - we rarely have that door open other than coming and going.
As long as her feeding happens on time, she is quite content... she can't reach the doorknob anyway.
