The sun is out

Hurricane Bud just slipped away Friday night after leaving almost 2 inches of rain and some heavy winds. Lots of branches down ... some from people cutting to protect their houses. Lost power a few times for a few hours. Woke up Saturday morning to the sun shinning and we have the same today.

No work Friday but Thursday and Saturday we finished up the walkway and the step around the palapa. Next week they will tile the palapa floor. I ordered 4x4 support beams for the lamina ramada in the other part of the yard but he was going to cut them Friday and couldn't. They also finished the cement 'cap' on the two flower beds earlier in the week

Just got back from the Ice factory with two large blocks to cool the beer and Coke for the birthday party we almost canceled. Should be a good day with as many as 50 people attending.

The sun is out this morning

We're gonna get wet

Well Bud has finally pulled himself together into a level one hurricane and is headed in our direction. Latest news is that it may reach level two for a short while before bouncing off the coast and weakening back to a tropical storm. The Weather Underground says we should expect rain and thunder storms thru Sunday, possibly starting today.

Throw a quick load in the laundry, maybe put a last coat of sealer on the new roof and off to Cihuatlan to stock up. We're due for rain but I hope we don't get enough for flooding ... and heavy winds we really don't need at all. First rain of the season always seems to knock the power out ... so better add a flashlight to my shopping list. Oh well, this is what we get here in the summer.
