Low water bridge following today’s rain
Rain or Shine
Barb is soaking up the sun in Destin while here at home we’re just soaking. Always happy to have rain.
And she closes out a beautiful day at the beach this a lovely sunset.
The Vietnam War
Watched the first episode (of 10) of The Vietnam War, a film by Ken Burns & Lynn Novick. It clearly showed how world events and U.S. politics resulted in our involvement and how badly we fucked things up. I kept thinking, “Why don’t I know this?” But it was current events or much of my early life and filtered through the media propaganda machine. I don’t expect to fully understand any important event until Ken Burns and his collaborators have time to make a documentary.
The truck is about done
The truck is about done. It’s getting “rough coating” applied to the footwells and the tub (the rear part of the vehicle). If I understand the procedure, rough coating is sort of spray-on bedliner. Protects the metal and less slippery. The door panel below is aluminum and they said we could cover it with vinyl; paint it the color of the exterior; or rough coat it. I went with rough coat.
Barring any problems, the truck goes to SF for break-in period and I hope to have it by mid-October.
