Too Dang HOT to Live In A Tin Can

OMG!

It is HOT!

Our air conditioner has run non-stop all day.  We also have a ceiling fan, 2 little fans and our big TURBO fan running and still we're feeling like we're living in a sauna.  The air is so heavy outside that sitting in the shade is almost unbearable.  Better yet...We could hit 40 degrees this weekend!

After supper we headed to the ice cream shop for something cool and yummy...Even Z got a little cup of vanilla ice cream from the lady behind the counter.  We're crossing our fingers that we don't pay for this little indulgence Z partook in. 

Mads has been beach hopping this past week and yesterday she went standup paddle boarding for the first time.  She has earned her sun burnt back.  Lots of lotion and shade for the next few days.

Things have been all too quiet as far as the business start up.  He's frustrated, understandably.  Especially, as the campgrounds, hotels and beaches fill up with vacationers.

With caulking gun in hand, Blair has been kept busy combating the continually leaking shower.  Nearly every inch has been re-caulked and newly installed fixtures.  I thought I'd become "the one who saved the day", when I suggested there was a gap between the shower surround and where there is a large 'porthole' in the surround (used to check pipes and attachments).  So Blair caulked that too!  When I got home today a small, mysterious and constant drip appeared to run down the shower wall from somewhere on or around the newly installed hot/cold fixture.  Ahhhhh!  Blair finally claimed defeat and called in and RV Tech.

The RV Tech. came in looked at the shower and told Blair to remove the new hardware (which apparently we didn't need to buy and replace) and turn it upside down.  This puts the attachment for the shower hose facing the floor to keep water from building up and looking for an escape route.  Then he left.  So thankful that he didn't charge us for the 'house call'. 

So now we watch caulking dry again.  Madison whining for a nice cold shower to cool the heat radiating off her back.  Me thinking about how nice it would be to have a cool shower before bed to help me fall asleep.  Blair really hoping this is the end of the issue.

A few evenings back, I suggested to Blair that maybe God was helping him by keeping him distracted with seeking out solutions to fix the shower.  It could give him something else to think about beside the business needing business.  Blair's reply was that if God wanted to keep him busy He could make some orders happen.  I guess we better submit an order for some orders.

Our Tiny Home Fact:  We have a basement!  Yes we do.  The storage compartments under a 5th wheel or travel trailer is called a "basement".  Just like a big house basement it can be a little frightening to go into (just ask Keaton, when Blair made him wiggle into ours).  Unlike a big house basement if we thought we'd find a cool refuge for sleeping tonight, we'd be very wrong.

There's lots happening in The Pen over the weekend:
Elvis Fest
Beach City Cruise
Penticton Farmer's Market
