Part of the dawn sky was nice but most of the sky was clouded. Finished walking 6 miles at 7:40 AM. Stretched and split stretched at the basketball court until 8:20 AM. Went to sewing room to check on the charger for the electric cutter. There was only one set of battery, it will work but it is not sharp enough to cut through pants or thick material. I will let it charge up and try again. Hemmed a dozen of pants and prepared a inventory request for the Laundry room. Back to the unit at 9:10 AM. Cleaned the computer room. Mr Reyes informed me that there will be a new inmate joining us today around noon. Showered at 9:30 AM.

Meeting lasted until 11:30 AM. We will have a few more meetings to discuss this issue in the future. Talked to Doris at 10:35 AM: Doris is well and so is Patches. They were busy harvesting: Persimmons, figs and apples. I told Patches if she wanted to, she could dry the excess fruits in the food dehydrator. Patches liked the Hoka Shoes from Doris. She is thinking of getting a few more pairs of Hokas before she leaves. Doris asked why I was late calling this morning, I told her I had to meet with Education Department about some degreed courses offered to inmates. They had Dim Sum for Kein’s Birthday party yesterday. Patches is trimming some of the figs tree that is overhanging over to our yard. Counselor Reyes informed me that we are supposed to have anew inmate joining us at the camp today. I went to the education room for GED tutoring but Mrs. Hubbard was on sick out. i went to the sewing room to hem some pants. Processed a new inmate t the camp at 1:00 PM. Census count at 3:30 PM.

Only 6 More dozens left to hem we have completed 42 dozens pants. Finished all laundry at 6:00 PM. Talked to Gudgel about the electric cutter, he suggested that we hard wire the electric cutter and bypass the battery and sharpen the blades, it should resolve the electric cutter problem. I will give the cutter to him tomorrow for him to rewire it. It rained on and off from 3:00 – 7:00 PM. Census count at 6:15 PM. Census count at 8:30 PM. Cleaned up at 9:00 PM.
