Could Be Worse . . .
Could Be Raining!
But 38° will be bad enough. At least the wind has pretty much died off. But unfortunately, according to the Weather Channel, it’s supposed to be the coldest at about 7am tomorrow, just when my Sweetie comes out to relieve me. And even by noon it’s still supposed to be in the mid-50’s.
BRRRRR!
The wind today was pretty bad, enough that it kept pulling out the big nails that stake the canopy legs to the ground. The problem is that the caliche that the pad is made from is so hard I can’t drive the nails in very far before they actually start to bend.
So what I did was use my biggest drill bit and just drilled a 6 inch deep starter hole to get it far enough down to hold. Seems to be working so far. I did also have to cut one side loose of the windbreak at the rear of the canopy. I installed it with tiewraps so all I had go do was just snip a couple of them and then install new ones when the high winds die down.
I ordered something from Amazon the other day, and once again FedEx came through. Last week they delivered to the Gate Guard Services Yard on the Interstate feeder two miles out of town. It’s completely out in the country, no buildings around, just a gate entrance to a dirt road, and a 3’ x 3’ sign on the fence post.
So today they delivered to:
Greg White
Gate Guard Services Gate
Simpson Road
North Zulch, TX
Jan said the guy drove up, asked if this was the Gate Guard Services Gate, handed her the package, and drove off. Easy Peasy.
Finally got a shot of Landon in his Halloween costume, complete with helmet this time.
Though for some reason I was expecting one of those old 50’s Space Patrol bubble helmets.
But this’ll work.
