Howdy Cowboys and Patriots.....

42°F and wet..... solid gray overcast..... Yuck !
We need water.... But, I want to be working on the TT today..... I am off from HD today.....

Have fun today gents.......

The rain quit around noon..... Didn't get much done today. Did get started on covering the TT with tarps so it will stay raintight while I have the fiberglass siding peeled back away from the rot area.

Cooked dinner and am now comfy in my recliner .......

Supposed to be a nice weather day tomorrow.... Lynn will be home, so I'll have adult supervision. Will have to stay busy......
HD shift 1530 - 2100....... Off Saturday and Sunday. Hope to get much accomplished on the TT and yard work.

Roy, if you are going into the TT repair business.....you should get one of those tall "carports" or would that blow away in the Montana winds?

Good morning Cowboys and Patriots.....
Trying to become alive..... Coffee infusion has begun....

After I finish this TT project..... I don't plan on taking on another one.... Yes, the wind would be a problem around here.
The weather is looking good until Saturday late afternoon/evening. Then a little bit of rain.

Taxi duty coming up soon..... work on the TT ....... Then HD 1530 - 2100
Saturday and Sunday off from Home Depot.... TT weekend.

37°F headed to 53°F for a high.... looks to be about 15 mph winds already. Mostly clear skies. Great weather day for outside work

Duty calls..... Later my friends....

Fantastic Friday evening or Weekend Eve Montana, Roy, Bud, George and all the crew. Turned out to be a beautiful day in my woods with hot sun most of the day and 85°. Nothing wet fell so after the dew burned off the grass I mowed the yard. OH did I ever mention how much I really like the Battery powered mower!

Roy there is no life before the morning coffee infusion!

The TT problem must a been an easy fix!?

Not done yet..... much to go.
The port side has a large slide out. the structure of this 30 ft TT is wood. Must have had a roof leak. The wood structure on both sides and the top of the side out are rotted away.
So I am peeling the fiberglass siding off of that area and then will replace all the wood structure. I have pulled the trim between the roof and siding. Pulled the trim between the bottom of the siding and the alum skirting.
I'll post some pictures....

Good evening Roy, Bud, George and crew. It has been a beautiful day in WV, and 80°, slight breeze, and for the most part hit bright sun. Still no rain or boomers.
Sounds like George is keeping the recliner warmed up for you.

1 Back yard mowed
2 Back and front yard weed wacked
3 Downed tree branches cut and stacked and 2 tree trunks cut 18 into inch sections
4 Two crows that were chasing the hens won't be doing that again
5 Dishes done
6 Feta cheese still needs started!
