Heatwave!

Boy o boy it has been hot this week! Yesterday when I was coming back from picking you my truck from the shop. I saw on a banks electronic sign. That it was 103 degrees out! That is crazy hot! So that kind of makes my chore list go slowly. As I try to stay in to keep cool. The evenings do cool down some. But it really does not start cooling off until well after the sun sets. Which is no good for working on some of the projects that I need to get done! Oh well, maybe I can catch a break this next week with a couple of nicer days. That would defiantly be a god send!

I have some things coming up that are still in the works. But will be really cool when and if they work out! So stay tuned for updates!

Busy Day!

Sorry for not posting much today! I have been wicked busy. I am working on my tow vehicle today. Because its goes into the shop in the morning. And I am still in the midst of my roof repair. Dang thunderstorm last night threw a HUGE wrench into that one! Cannot wait till I get all this stuff done. So I can get back to the regular scheduled programming!

I'm Baaaaaack!

Got my computer back. Had the hard drive reformatted and a fresh operating system installed. Runs a lot better and smoother now! So no more slow refresh rates ect.

We had some wicked thunderstorms pass to the south last night. I figured since I had just got all the bad wood taken out of my trailers roof. And the hole all dried out. That I would come through here. But as luck would have it. It stayed away from my roof project! YAY! So that was a really good thing! The project is coming along nicely. I am learning a lot about how they build these trailers. There actually isn't much to them! The worst part is parts are pricey! I have a couple hundred into the project. But will have left overs in case I have to fix any more roof damage in the future. LOL maybe I should just open my own RV repair shop? That is where the money is!

When it rains it pours!

Well I discovered some water damage on my roof yesterday. So at the moment I have a 4' by 18" hole up there that I will continue to work on today. Thank goodness I know how to fix these sorts of things. Cause the local RV shop wanted around a $1000.00 to fix it. It will probably end up costing me 2-3 hundred after all is said and done. RVs are like boats. And well all know what boat stands for. (bust out another thousand) But after this the roof will be back at 100%. So that is the upside! Also my computer has been acting up. So I will be taking it to get fixed later today. Hopefully I will have it back today. But if not it will be done tomorrow. My computer is 5 years old. So that means it is an antique now. I know I need a new one. But not for awhile now! Oh well at least I can afford all the repairs and such. It could be a whole lot worse!

What a morning!

Spent most of this morning at the bank opening new personal and business accounts. It went pretty smooth but is still a pain in the you know where. But all is good now with that! Had a great weekend with my girlfriend. Spent a lot of time just hanging out and watching movies and napping. I needed to catch up on some rest! Went to a little get together at one of our friends houses on Friday night. It was good to see all of them! As far as today goes. Need to go to the RV place and check on some parts. And getting some things done to my tow vehicle. So I am sure that will cost way to much!

Weather and new web address

Hello out there in the interweb. Just setting here drinking my morning coffee. And writing this entry. It has been raining most of the night I guess. It was lighting when I laid down. So I guess the rain was not far behind. Who knows because I slept right though it. I just love sleeping while it is raining out. That is some of the best sleep you can get in my opinion. The only draw back is if it then rains all day long. You are tired most of the day. Rain can put me into a coma! I also slept in this morning. I guess my internal alarm clock was asleep too!

I bought a proper web address for this blog. You can now get here by going to thervlifestyle.net Sorry the .com was not available. But this one will work just the same.

I will be taking the weekend off. As I will be with my girlfriend. I will be back Monday morning with another post.

Free Satellite Television

I have been contemplating buying a "Free To Air" satellite system for some time now. They are not jammed pack with great channels. But there are enough, to make it worth not paying the "Dish" company more money every month! And I can pick up all the local stations and quite a few others. With my trusty Winegard Sensar that I just upgraded with the Winegard Wingman. Which picks up all the HD channels in the area I am in. So those combined I would have a pretty good set of channels for free. That is not even including whatever channels the rv park I am staying in at the time has on it cable system! Where I am at now I get the local major networks, PBS, RetroTV, ION, and quite a few others. So I guess I can wait till I get a few extra bucks. Till I buy a new toy to fool around with! The only thing that will be a draw back for most. Is the size of the dish. It is a one meter dish. And it does not fold up That is a pretty substantial dish. But it needs to be bigger to pick up weaker signals. But I think not having another bill is well worth the increase in dish size. And not being able to mount it on the roof.
