The white cover that came with the new unit. Our old one had a black cover. The black covers were backordered for quite some time, so we had the white cover unit ordered, the color of the cover being the only difference in the units. After installing the new unit they just swapped the covers. That was an easy solution to the problem.
When you live as close to the border with Mexico as we do, scenes like this are not all that unusual as border crossers are always passing through our community on their quest to get as far north as quickly as possible. What is unusual is seeing both the Border Patrol and State Trooper vehicles together and at this time of day. Later we learned the did apprehend several people.
Our pergola is very nice unless it isn’t. The isn’t is the fact that algae grows on it. A certain member of our family doesn’t like it, especially when we have friends up for happy hour. It really isn’t all that hard to clean the algae off with our pressure washer, though one does get wet and the arms not being what they once were tend to become tired.
No Tom Sawyer needed here, she actually wanted to take turns using the pressure washer. We have always been willing to help each other or do what is traditionally considered to be the other spouse’s jobs. Marriage is so much more than just a eight letter word.
We didn’t like it when it happened the first time around, but we certainly didn’t expect it to happen again. This the other air-conditioner on our 5th wheel RV going bad. It will take a few days for the replacement to arrive, a week where 100° F (38° C) temperatures are forecast. Things break, you get them fixed and life goes on.
For the past 10 days it has been like this almost every day. There is that old saying, “It isn’t the heat, it’s the humidity”. 91° F (33° C) temperature with a heat index of 107° F (42° C) has meant that I couldn’t work outside without the sweat literally dripping off me.
Smart would be working inside, but since we are trying to get ready to leave in Sophie for our summer travels, the outside work has to be done. I guess you could label me Roasting Rob.
