And It Is ... Raining, That Is

Raining again today. Well, I took a quick look at the NOAA forecast earlier this afternoon and noticed showers moving in from the southwest. With nothing scheduled at work I bugged it home and quick mowed the lawn ... whew! It started raining shortly afterwards but ... not a problem!

The roof is 100% complete as they finished installing the ridge caps this morning. And the gutter guys (sounds like a gang, eh?) got the gutters re-installed yesterday afternoon so all is well. I guess the only thing I have left to figure out is how to re-install the leaf guard on the gutters. They're designed to slip under regular tar shingles but with the aluminum shingled roof there is no access for slipping them in anymore. I think I'll have to put a 90 degree bend in each of the (4 foot) sections of gutter-guard and then put 3 holding screws in each and I'm sure that will hold up ... even with heavy snow this winter.

Dancing was fun last night at Walford as the Dale Thomas Band was playing. Well, not much happening on Wednesday's ... mostly good for a song or two at Papa Juan's and a marg with no salt and, of course, chips and salsa!

And, NEWS FLASH!, Ryan's coming to town tomorrow night. We're going to try to find him a car as the old Celica is slowly dying and maintaining it on life support is getting more and more costly. With short notice, though, I'm not sure how likely it is that we'll find one in the next 2 days. We'll see. It'll be good to see him again. Can't wait to see Scott, too, hope he makes it back home pretty soon ...

Later ...
