Here is something. Screened vents.
Custom fit for Transit Vans. They will roll up in the tops of the front windows in the van when we’re parked. On their own, they won’t do much for airflow or a cross-breeze, but when the roof exhaust vent is installed in the back, these will be where the air comes in that will get pulled through the car, cooling us down to the ambient temperature outside. That will be good airflow. No bugs. Good sleeping weather.
After all these days of a hundred degrees and sunny, an area of low pressure that will affect us is developing in the southern Gulf of Mexico next to the Yucatan Peninsula.
Now we have our first cone of uncertainty of the year.
This disturbance is projected to strengthen into a tropical depression or even a tropical storm in the next couple of days. The center is expected to make landfall in Mexico, but here in South Texas, we’re on the dirty side of the circulation. We’ll get most of the moisture. We’re told to expect five inches of rain, plus or minus. Some places might get a foot. It doesn’t look like something we need to leave town to escape. We’ll sit here and see if our intermittent Lake Sandpipers reappears… The park has installed a pump system to drain our flooding into a nearby ditch. Even if the field out in front of us is overwhelmed, it should dry out much faster now.
It’s white now.
We didn’t take this photo. Our friend Nancy who still walks by it sent the shot to us. It looks like the natural grass has been restored. The maple trees are still there, as is the pelican weathervane on the roof!
I like it.
Thought we might get the van today. There was a car carrier coming in to our dealer from Houston with a Transit Van on it. Turned out to be someone else’s Transit Van.
Happy Birthday Henry! Fourteen years old today. Spa day. Freshly groomed, he’s rocking it!
Grandson Tony got that job with Amazon in Seattle about a month ago. Time for his own apartment now. Furnishing it at Ikea. He gets the keys tomorrow.
Rocking it!
A dry toilet.
It comes with leak-proof double bags. Don’t expect to need it, but we’ll have that bad boy along in case it’s too far between rest stops.
