Rai of hope

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

Very sad to report I cracked the curve with my ladder leaning too sharply as I removed ancient failing exterior caulk from that window. More Eterna Bond!

For over a year I have been seeking the source of the leak w/o demolition. The expression of it was under a side bunk window, wicking from the bottom, up.

I intuited the problem must be coming from the forward bunk long window as I have already corrected the roof overtop the small side window.

Ok. Progress sealing up the original 1989 window at the top of the bunk! Set at an angle, it is tricky to make watertight 100%.

Tore out the wall. Found the leak. Applying silicone caulk inside, more Eterna Bond tape to the exterior.

Working on my back like Michelangelo at the Sistine Chapel.

Oh!

Hmmm

It was surprising how much work it takes to live in a small camper. It has to be tidy or can't even move around. That's a basket cat. The baskets helped a lot since we took out the cupboard doors to shed weight and feel more space.

We enjoyed empty campgrounds just after Labor Day

Perhaps the tire blow out was simply heat and speed related. But this damage was part of a side swipe on day two.

Oh wow. That was our first tow to the KOA. It was the second day of travel. We did spend a lovely week with family and friends. Then overheated severely on route home. Major mechanic work followed with truck repair shop over most of last week.
The cough sputter and stop afterwards was a surprise.

Crazy blowout on day two of the trip was a surprise. Now we are nearly home but it was a compressor wheel froze up, snapped a belt, left us stranded on the interstate shoulder for five hours.

Folds and rolls

The front needs work. Unclear exactly how to proceed. Will ponder...my tiny scaffold has been JUST what I needed.

Worked with my hands four hours this morning. That's way more than lately. PT has helped a lot. Still, it looks like carpal tunnel release surgery is in my future.

At least I finished up the taping/sealing on one side of the Caravan. Very satisfying. Maybe I can finish up in 2 more sessions.

Ended up with a nicer transition to the kitchen with interlocking waterproof planks that made it to the door. Four pieces from the other bit of a box make a nice entry tiny-foyer.

Went to bed too late but snatched a few more hours sleep after first waking. Thankful for the roof.

"The ill human" is no longer welcome in my head, mouth ears. If Spouse pops off, I leave the room. TV news is allowed in a few minutes only.

Here is one of my favorite diversions:

Laid down improved temp-fix flooring while the priority list catches up. Thank you for the free flooring boxes!

tRump lie number 40,001?! What a tool!!

PSA : ⚠️

Apparently this happens please 🙏 don't not let any fall out of your pockets accidentally

So hey, yes I'm old. Yes I like driving the Chevy Van with the big box on it, and it feeds a dream.

Know this; it is also an escape-mobile for hurricane season as well as a fall back option for shelter if this administration really does come after SSDI.

Paranoid or prepared?

I saw that RFK Jr was recently following me.
Achk! So I told him in a message what I really think of him and blocked him.

Florida Supreme Court Greenlights DeSantis’ Congressional Map that Eliminates Black Representation Read more here.

The Florida Supreme Court upheld a congressional map drafted by Ron DeSantis — even as it acknowledged that the map weakens Black electoral power in the state.

The 5th Congressional District, held by Black representatives for nearly 30 years, was dismantled at DeSantis’ request in 2022.

Wouldn’t it be lovely?

Please, don’t hold back for his sake 🤭

Did SCOTUS just give Unitarian Universalists the power to keep the 10 Commandments out of schools & sue TX?
