Hello all.
Cool, sweet Sunday afternoon here in West Texas.
After the blast of extreme high temps here all summer, (and zero rain) a rain last night here is looked at not only as Blessed but a life saver for this area. Of course it is way too late for all of those who farm but it may help in the feed for the cattle, sheep and other animals around here. But this little rain will also water peoples yards and trees, which by municipal rule has been regulated all year.
Just thought I would drop by and give a small update for my repairs and such on my old new gal. Which is if you have forgot, a 79 Dodge 20ft Class C.
We discovered that the roof leaked in the past and even if repaired has done hidden damage. So we are tearing out all of the inside roof and will replace and then repair the exterior roof. Thanks for the link to Lowes for the roof repair stuff.
The table has been modified and moved into the front of the vehicle. It covers the area where the front passenger seat was and a little more. (The table can be removed easily if needed.)
My son also installed a new Isolated Ground A/C receptacle up there for my UPS. Which (in the UPS) I will plug my computer, modem and printer into. The Isolated ground plug receptable for the UPS has an outside ground wire that I can attach to a ground rod that I installed. I installed a drip system to keep it watered (and also to keep my fresh water supply from freezing - hopefully).
My computer has wireless which I have never used because I have been hooked up to Suddenlink for over 10 years by Ethernet cable. I hope that the wirelss works. I may have to get an antenna for it.
In case your wondering a ground rod is useless unless the ground is damp.
After the roof, my son is going to do other minor repairs and I am going to help as much as I can. Which most times just means that I should try and stay out of the way.
Hard being old sometimes when your used to doing it all by yourself.
Take care and take care of those that you love.
Papa Ray
