Getting cloudy with a t-storm predicted around 6 pm...as I listen to the roofing crew ripping the shingles off my roof above me. Met their delivery truck at 7:30am to unload the pallets of shingles, underlayment, etc. I don't know who invented those piggyback forklifts, but it's genius...5 pallets unloaded in less than half an hour and the driver was gone. The driver told me he used to have to unload every bundle of shingles by hand.
I just found one spot by the ridge vent that looks like it's been the source of my earlier leak. Contract calls for $70 per sheet of plywood replaced. They said it would take 3 days to complete...they would only uncover the amount of roof each day that they can replace. Fingers crossed as sprinkles begin to fall since I started typing this.
Roy, so sorry to hear about your wife's fall and ankle. I know you'll take good care of her.
Scaredy...hope you are doing better...prayers said for those ailing.
Kyle, sounds like a great birthday celebration!
RNG, hope you get to do the Paso Dobles at the Paso Robles.
Ron, the hawks here have returned to hunting at our feeders, too...last couple of days we've seen the red tail and the sharp shinned twice...the red tail landed right at our porch step where the chipmunk hangs out.
Randy, this is the last week of fantasy baseball and all 3 of my teams are in the final championship round...but I may need the name of your grandson in a few years as a rookie selection.
Met my oldest son down at the farm in southeast Virginia yesterday at 6:30am...he wanted to show me some work he had done over the summer with his chainsaw, some friends, and eventually with a buddy who took his track loader-mulcher down...some very nice trails made through the woods and some new deer stands.
On the way home stopped by the cemetery where my dad, sister, and generations of relatives rest. I always pause look at the born/died dates and think about their lives and how fortunate I am to have had them in my life. Then look up at the American Flag that waves proudly from its 30 high pole with a thankful tear in my eye.
