Eternabond & Dinner

Larry Jr. came over today and joined us at the 5 Guys Restaurant near the RV park.  They serve a lot of food and we all walked ( waddled ) away full and stuffed.  They weren't as busy as other 5 Guys we have had dinner at in the past, but it picked up a little as we were leaving.

I had asked Jr. to help me with a couple MH repairs and he brought over the proper tools.  The counter extension shelf came loose due to the glue drying up, so we took it apart and put enough glue to sink a ship on it.  We then used 4 C-clamps to hold it together until the glue dries enough to hold it together.  

I had bought some eternabond a while ago and Jack put a strip across the top of the roof near where the front cap meets the rubber section.  That has held up really well and seems to be doing the job.  Today Jr. climbed up on the roof and put eternabond on the rear cap of the motorhome.  We should be very watertight now and only need minor applications of dicor to keep us dry.

We went over to Jr & Jane's for dinner and brought the meal with us.  Gerry had prepared a pork roast, but we couldn't call it that since Grant won't eat pork.  We told him it was cerdo ( pork in Spanish ) and that was ok with him.  He didn't eat a lot of it, so he must not really care for pork.  We have enough left over for another meal and a lunch for Gerry and me.  Nothing tastes better than a pork sandwich on bread with some ketchup. Great!

We are now watching the weather forecast calling for some high winds and rain moving through the area.  It looks like the worst of the weather is northwest of Charlotte and will miss us.  There is a small segment that may pass over us with very high winds.  I wish we were in a more sheltered area, but too late now.  The winds aren't too bad now, but in about 30 minutes they are expected to pick up.  The rain is picking up now so we shall see what is in store for us.


More to follow.

Well, was the wait worth it?   The weatherman was way off on his predictions this evening.  We had some rain and a little wind, but I hadn't seen the forecast I would classify this as a non-event.  I do watch the weather and appreciate the job the weather bureau does to keep us safe.

  1. Mustard on the pork sandwich, where you from? Southern Illinois?....
    You're missing out on all the freebies. I forgot to tell you about the bloody mary party at noon Sunday. They had the big screen TV up by the pool and all. We didn't go because of church and their dinner but there were a lot of cars parked by us for quite awhile.
