Good Morning! 54F @ 4:45AM. Showers and thundershowers this morning, then cloudy with rain likely during the afternoon. High around 50F. Winds SSE at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of rain 100%. Rainfall may reach one inch.
Another wave of storm clouds just swept through, dumping about a quarter inch of rain and rousting me from a sound sleep with booming winds and the sound of the drops on the bedroom sliding door. That makes half an inch since midnight, and with almost another half inch yesterday evening, this has been a pretty good system. Most of that came just as I was crawling into bed last night, but without the wind made a nice little lullabye.
Not much work on the van since last time again, and I made it known that I was not very happy, as there is a VW bus/BMW motorcycle camp out this weekend that I'd told him about two months ago as wanting to attend in the bus instead of sleeping in a soggy tent. Still no signs of an engine, and obviously that's not gonna happen. No excuses, just shrugs his shoulders and looks at the ground. He's up to three helpers now, but none of them are self directed, and he spends most of the day telling them each step of what they are to do. It's discouraging.
After rotating one fan to clear the firewall sheetmetal, the new radiator shroud fit just fine. We fired up the fans with a temporary connection to a battery and got a great deal more air flow than the factory setup, and the operation was deemed a success.
Temperatures are supposed to be mild today with the wet weather, and new brakes and tires are here for the big touring bike. Might get a start on that, or might chip away at some paperwork. Also have a few more smart switches to install, so there's no shortage of things with which to stay busy.:laughing:
TGIF gang.
