Festival Day 2 The End

It was the second and last day of the Renaissance Fine Arts Festival. Started work at 9:30a and finished at 8p which makes for a long day. Yesterday was in the upper 80's and today made it in the 90's with full blast sunshine. Relaxing the rest of the night watching the race that we recorded.

Festival Weekend

We were busy at the mall all day getting ready for the Fine Arts Festival this weekend. I worked 7a-4p. We were scheduled to get off at 3p but still were not finished with what we were working on. When I got home the Realtor called and we will meet with him on Tuesday to see what all we need to do to get the house on the market. Terry welded the bracing for the hydraulic bed lift and I installed them when I got home, works great, thanks Terry.

Found

Did some work on the suite ram and will finish it tomorrow. We were called out on a SAR for an elderly lady that has been missing since Monday. Within one hour of arrival she was located by a worker at a business next to where she went missing. She was not injured other than being dehydrated. She was transported to the hospital for observation. At the mall we cleaned the management offices and did our trash run and lot cleanup. Eating supper now.

I Love Food

Normal FD day except this afternoon. E3 called in that they broke a fan belt, it was just a matter of moving the reserve engine over to then and calling the city shop to have a mechanic install a new belt. Found out the the idler pulley bracket was broke so he took it back to the shop and re-welded it. Still needs adjusting so they will drop it off in the morning (It was after 5:30). Bridget has come across something called "Eat Yourself Thin" and has us on it. We will see with my starting weight of 245. I have been running 245-250 for the past year or so. I would like to get down to around 200 or less.

Please remember those that have served and those that are serving our great nation. My dad served in the Navy and retired after 20 years as did my brother Harold. Dad is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

Will The Rain End

It is still raining and more is expected. We did get a WalMart run in today to refill the cabinets with groceries. Planned on getting into the attic to clean it out but took a nap instead. We have the painter hired, he will start after July 4th and will take about two weeks. He was a FF at Ridgeland FD back when I started and has retired from the fire service. He works by himself and does a very professional job. We will put the house on the market after Ken finishes painting. Waiting for the Coca Cola 600 to start.

No Rain Til 2

Woke up this morning around 8:30 with a day full of outside projects. After breakfast I checked the weather on the computer and the rain would not be here until 2pm so I started on changing out the cab roof lights, removing the amber lights and replacing then with smoke LED lights. I removed the first one and the rains started, got all my stuff put up and headed inside. It rained pretty much all day off and on. I eventually changed all 5 lights out. The rest of the outdoor projects have been put off until another day. Bridget went to a local Mexican restaurant for lunch with Kay, Amy, and LeAnne. One of the painters showed up at 10:15 for an estimate. Still waiting on one more and the price from another one then we will be set to hire a painter for the inside.
