Morning

Hoping everyone had a good weekend.

Went to Upstate New York to get corn for the freezer. On the way up I had more than normal vibration noise from the small bush guard on the front of the F250. While I was up there I stopped and freed one of the screws holding the front plate of the guard. I couldn't get it all the way off, so I left it that way and planned on using a little WD40 when I got home. Not a single vibration all the way home. Wife said don't do anything and see what it does in the next couple of weeks. Sounds good to me so we will see.

In case anyone was wondering, it's raining quite a bit in Rockville.

You don't have to look at it - the air is so heavy today you can feel it weighing you down.

I may as well jump in the lake behind the jobsite. My clothes will look exactly the way they look now.

Morning

Washed the roof of the 5th wheel yesterday afternoon, or should I say my neighbor did. I just stood there and sweated. Just standing out there was soaked. Looked like I had done all the work with the way the shirt was drenched.

Today have to put the sealer on. Have to go to Package store to get beer to pay for the help. I drink Guinness but he drinks those fruity type beers that mix thing into the beer. So going to ask for help picking out beer for him at the store.

Stay cool today as much as you can and drink.....

Out in the quiet corner of the state that wasn't so quiet last night. Actually vibrated the camper a few times.

A buddy of mine Chris washed the roof of the camper on Thursday night. Just in time for the thunderstorm that pasted through. Did a great job. From the top of the hill our campers white roof stands out. Now all we have to do is seal it.

I am guessing it will be another humid day So watch yourself today. I'm set, I filled the frig with beer.

There was some nastiness down in the southwest corner of the state night before last.

Vermont is supposed to be getting hammered with storms tonight and the lightning and thunder outside are getting closer. No rain just yet though.

I thought Friday's storm was bad. Last night was a Humdinger. Heavy rain with massive thunder and lightning for quite a long time.

Never got to seal the roof but will get it done during the week.

This Caddy the wife bought has everything. Navigation, Serious (sp), Weather, Fx, and more. I told Kathy that I wanted to go for an ice cream only wanted to have it indoors due to the humidity. She talked to the system and it spit out a list of places, touched the one we wanted on the screen and off we went. Noting that on the way back a bunch of warnings for approaching weather with pictures of the area. Cool. Doesn't take much to impress me, not being computer wise.
