More cleaning...

So Linda worked 3-11 last night and then had to work 6 - 6 today, which means getting up at 4:30 (since it takes an hour to get there). Instead of getting that last 30 minutes of precious sleep (seeing as she didn't get to bed till 1:30), her agency called at 4 a.m. to give her a "reminder" that she was working today. How sweet of them....So running on fumes for sleep, she worked all day and is now trying to keep her eyes open to watch the NASCAR race with me. Is a tall order I know....

Today I figured I might as well defrost the freezer and complete the cleaning trifecta of projects for the week. Got that done....walked the pooches...then noticed as we were walking back into the park that it looked like a tree had come down in the rear of the park. Went to investigate. Yep, sure enough a tall tree came down across 3 RV sites...Luckily 2 of the sites were vacant. One guy told me the guy who had the RV closest to where the tree came down JUST pulled out very recently. Talk about good timing for him! That tree would have done some wicked damage to his rig cause it came right across where his rig sat. Took them most of the day to get the tree cut up and the area cleaned up. The tree fell across a bunch of wires and they are still hanging pretty low but not sure if they are power lines or TV cable lines. I know we have a TV cable line hanging real low behind our rig that I have to climb over as I go up the roof ladder so hoping it's the same thing that is down up there. The storm last night didn't seem that bad but many of the trees seem to be pretty beaten up from the hurricane that went through here. Many are twisted like pretzels so you know they are already really stressed from a structural stand point. Wouldn't take much to bring them the rest of the way down. Getting more rain and thunderstorms tonight but nothing bad so far.

Linda has off tomorrow so we'll go out and get some errands done.
