Been Hot Here

It was in the mid 80's with the humidity the same.  It is easy to say I miss the snow when I'm here rather than back home doing the shuffle across the ice to get the mail.  I see that back home it was single digits and lots of snow. 

Oh well, the heat wave is over with a low of around 40 tonight and a high tomorrow around of 64.  That's more to my liking.

Someone turned 7.  She still needs two front teeth for Christmas.

Grand kids are growing like weeds.  Molly had me help her pick out some soccer gear as practice starts in two weeks.  Still need to find a place to go fishing with them.  I'm sure there are plenty around here.

Started work on a patch on the fiberglass skin of the fifth wheel.  Don't have any before pictures, but here is a stage one photo.

 I wasn't thrilled with the fiberglass tape as it didn't want to absorb the resin completely.  Since I was using epoxy with a long pot life and slow cure, it finally did pretty well.
The bedroom doubles as the bike port.  Got the patch on; just needs the cosmetic finish.

Stay well and warm out there.
