I never got the sports gene - skipped me completely. Not to say that I am not competitive, I just run more towards competitive eating
People who can push through the pain of running - I'm not sure if I am scared of them or fear for them.
I'm back from Texas - I had another run down there, this time for a roof that needed replaced, not a hard job per say, but a lot of work especially for some one who's blood is still atuned to 45-55 degree temperatures. 40 weight. Those people down there run 0w16, of that I'm convinced.
I had an interesting experience -- I stopped at Village Creek State Park in Arkansas - I've been there twice now. I'm honeslty impressed with their facilities. The shower/bath were all very nicely apointed. Well Done Arkansas. But I had something very wierd happen. I woke up at 5:30 with a start - it was windy and honselty I thought a limb (a big one) had fallen on the camper. I got up, looka round and saw nothing. It was 5:30, an hour before I planned to awaken ... so I just unplugged the camper, checked my lighting and pulled out.
When I got to my next fuel stop the passenger side glass was broken out - the sliding portion. I tend to be right lane oriented, meaning I keep in the right lane - I"m not sure where or how something could have gotten kicked up to break it -- I'm wondering if an owl or some big bird flew into that window and shattered it? I have no idea. But I suspect whatever it was that 'Rocked' the camper is what broke the glass. It was extremely dark when I left that state park - I never noticed glass on the ground but I didn't do an extremely through pre-flight since I never unhooked.
Either way, I got to my camp site (the work-site where we did the roof) where I got a spooky feeling - nothing specific, nothing preternatural -- just the "Not here..." feel. So, I mooch docked at my customers home.
I used a roll of eternabond to patch up the hole where the glass was - that stuff is amazing. DO NOT and for emphasis DO NOT!!! allow eternabond to stickon anything you don't want it to be there forever. The name is truly correct. Its not a super structural stength, but it is a goopy elastic rubber that never comes off. I had ordered a replacement window already, so I just allowed it to stick to the black ring -- and it worked fine. Make it home without issues.
I also replaced the motor in my Maxxair fan - it started chirping with each revolution last year or the year before. Just anoyingi enough to keep me awake or require me to run the AC fan to drown it out. $100 for the part, but that was money well spent! So much quieter!!!
Hoping for a warm day with no plans so I can fill a bucket with hot water, and soap to get baby cleaned up. She's looking a little rough around the edges. I may even Walbernize it. Definitely needs some lovin'
