A Bright and Cool Day!

Today we have some much needed relief in the weather. We finally had a bit of rain the other evening. Unfortunately along with the rain came some wind. As a result we lost the canopy over the patio along with some necessary of the reinforcements that hold up the framing. So I guess that is the end to the canopy for this year. We have talked about building a permanent structure so hopefully next spring we can. Roger needs the shade as fair skinned as he is.

This weekend Roger has been planning to go to Kristy's to replace the a/c unit under her house. He ordered the unit and seems there was some sort of mix up where it was ordered. We are hoping after 3 trips to Harrisonburg, that it arrives today. If not we were assured it will arrive next Wednesday. He will however still go to Locust Grove and pull out the old unit and prepare the area for installation of the new one anyway, measure for new copper line (as measurements couldn't be obtained due to the tight area the unit is in under the house). Sue is going to the Roanoke area to the shower of Ross and Jungmeen on Saturday so she will not be able to accompany Roger. Ross is the son of dear friends of Roger and Sue's and Ross and Lee grew up together. The shower is a couple's shower and even though Roger is invited he needs to get this a/c unit in for Kristy and family as they have been waiting a loooooooong time for it! He will go to the wedding so that is the most important thing to attend anyway!

Last evening, Roger & Sue worked on the Montero. At long last the check engine is out! After ordering a part from California that took almost 2 weeks to come in, and in the mean time having to replace the battery, they managed to find out which o2 sensor of the 4 was bad and figured out how to wire up the new one (which had different color wires) from the old one. (Sue figured that out! LOL) Roger crimped them together and made the remark, "gosh I don't even have any extra wires left." Sue laughed. He installed it and to our amazement the check engine went out without having to go have it reset. We were delighted. The light had been on for we can't tell you how long!

Roger then got the "little red truck" and pulled it around to the side driveway as Lee said the last time he drove it, it was making a funny noise around the wheel in the front driver's side. Off came the wheel. Roger inspected it and heard a rub. Nope, the brake pads looked good. Hum he check other things out, but the wheel on. Then said that he didn't hear the rub. Wierd. Took it for a drive and said well he still hear a bit of a noise. He made a remark, maybe I will drive it til something happens. Later he made another remark, I think tomorrow I will take off the other tire and check it out. So I guess tonite while Sue goes to Waynesboro and runs off our church bulletins for Sunday and gets the oil changed in the Montero, he will check out the other front wheel of the "little red truck."

I think getting that check engine light out has sparked some real "let's get these little problems fixed" energy going in us! Hope so, as it would be nice to have these vehicles running and not worried about something happening on the road. Well I guess I have rambled enough for today.

Remember to hug the ones you love! Keep honoring the Lord and doing for others!
