Bad timing

Well I got home yesterday and had a ton of packing to do. I sold a bunch of stuff on eBay and had to ship it out. Got done with that and wound up working on the travel trailer a bit. did some digging and found some severe water damage. I fixed the leak, but the damage was done. I wound up ripping out about a 1/3 rd of the walls down to stud. I had to replace some of the studs themselves. Also the front window was barely even hanging in the frame as the frame was rotted out and wet. I rebuilt the frame around the window and got it in just in time to have to go find shelter from an approaching tornado. It was pretty exciting. There was a distinctive wall cloud above us and a funnel cloud formed literally right on top of the house where we sought shelter. I loved it! I am into severe weather, but as far as my kids are concerned, I think safety first.

I am back at work today and get off on Friday. I then come back for my 3rd 48 hour shift on Saturday and Sunday. 120 total hours this week. That sux! But God wiling, I will make it till Monday. Then, just one more 48 hr shift till we leave for vacation! I am doing NOTHING! For at least 2 days....then maybe a hike through the mountains...or not. We will see. -DJ
