Fried Gatoraide

The heat in B-more has been quite intense. Yesterday I went
through 4 liters of gatoraide. Today I have been chasing mechanics
around to get them to drink. I remind them "you're no good to me
dead."

Yesterday morning I thought the house was being attacked.
This morning it was as if a giant robotic woodpecker was attacking.
The roofers were up there working. I had forgotten they were
coming. The new roof will be a lighter color to attempt to deflect
some of the heat of summer. I wanted white. No one else would go
for it. Most of the lights have been replaced with CF bulbs. They
produce less heat in addition to saving electricity. Every bloody
dime counts!

In just about a month I go on vacation (I prefer the European term
"Holiday") to Beautiful South Carolina. The drive is a bear, but ahhhhh
the peace and quiet. The beach, the just "being away" factor.............
The family condo is so nice! There are a few changes I plan this trip.
We'll see.

Okay- the storm us upon us- so I'm gonna pull the plug on this thing!
