7/14/2019 – tennis, pig roast, DOG, drinks with David Drake

Sunday

Oatmeal for breakfast. Sunday NY Times on paper. Ellen Feldman.

Tennis with Ted at 11am. Played quite well. Won set 6-1.

The wrist somewhat less troubled. Got to focus on remedial work to get it back in shape. Watched lots of YouTube videos about wrist pain yesterday. Clearly I am suffering from DeQuervain’s syndrome. Found diagnostic maneuver that demonstrates this. Eichoff’s Test. Lots of approaches to resolving this problem. Cold, massage, stretching, strengthening….

Drove out to Claverack to Anna (Rachminov) and Allan Chapin’s estate for a Bastille Day Pig Roast. Multiple barns, huge house. Two pigs roasted. Lots of people we didn’t know. Karen spent a lot of time talking with a new person Catherine Dodge Smith. She has a complicated history as an actress then photographer, journalist, activist. I caught up with Carol Rusoff and her 12 yr old grand daughter.

Got back to gallery by 4pm. Guy came in gallery looked around and then came back just before closing to buy a piece of fabric art.

Drinks at Swoon with David Drake.

Finance Committee at HAL in the morning. Anna Rachminov, Marie Rasner, Miranda Barry and Emily. Very good cheery mtg.

Noticed exhibition of sculpture from Hudson High School students. I took lots of pictures for a posting on the HAL website. Later discovered that I had missed some in the Teen Library. Will have to return Tuesday.

No Heat

Vent pipe completely stuffed with debree

Vent pipe completely stuffed with debris

Turns out that the guys who rebuilt the chimney last week knocked debris down the flue completely occluding it. The four year old boiler has a sensor that prevents it from firing when there is no draft up the flue.

As soon as the plumber saw this he said, “Call the mason.” he wouldn’t take a swing at fixing it.

So I called Preston Schrader. He immediately offered to come Saturday morning to fix things.

HAL

Met with Marie, Gwen, and Anna Rachminov to discuss next year’s budget.
