Boy Howdy didn’t we have the thunderstorm last morning at 1 a.m. - with some really rolled out thunder. Really. Like You hear the crackle and hum for many seconds until it gets somewhere very close and then the giant ‘clap’ of thunder. Then there were others that started very close with a large ‘clap’ of thunder but then rolled away for several seconds. Very impressive. And I love thunderstorms and it is hard to impress me - but this one did. Oh - there was some torrential rain as well to the extent I was pretty certain we were going to lose the driveway again - but we didn’t.
Ok - things have gone too far with this weather situation. It is so bad I often have to turn the room lighting on to see what I am doing - in the middle of the day - in July for God’s sake. That is really sad. Not just today on that one - off and on for several days. The day started with a mention of ’sun’ for Sunday - but now that has gone away and my weather service now thinks it will be Monday before we will mention anything about the sun. I suppose the sun is still out there as it gets lighter in the daytime than it does at night - but not by a whole lot.
I will be heading out with the Wife either tomorrow or Sunday in the Motor Home. Not gonna let it sit there any longer without moving it. Geez. Terrible summer.
Much celebrating of Independence Day for the US today and tomorrow. Yup - I am proud to be an American and I think patriotism is a good thing. I hope You are able to celebrate Your country’s existence now and again.

Not a beam of sunlight all day long - at least until now. So didn’t take the day trip in the Motor Home yet. The Wife made plans with the daughter for tomorrow so prolly won’t go out in the Motor Coach tomorrow either. Mebbe on Saturday. Sucks pretty bad to wait for over 2 weeks to have a little sunshine to go out and take pictures. Geez.
Most of the morning was spent paying bills. That was not fun. Now I am poor - again. Finally got to some Surfing the Traffic Exchanges around noon. Took care of some eMails and then rode the lawn tractor around for a while and then I was depressed about no sun so took a nap. Mebbe get to some work later - but mebbe not as this is now the ‘holiday weekend’ and I just might make it so by not working. Woowoo.
Just don’t know when will get back into editing the Home Decorating eBook. Oh - I did get a new Article up over at GottaHaveIt concerning Kayaking. I think I had one of them before. I was afraid this might happen. Poor memory and repeating Article subject. Not that there are all that many subjects of interest.
Have a fine summer - wherever You may be {or winter if You are in the South part of the world}.

Yup - Canada is celebrating it’s - something - independence mebbe. I dunno. I think it’s a lot like the US Independence Day coming right up here on the 4th. Much happiness to all concerned.
I did get some Surfing done this morning and then things went all to heck for any kind of ‘plan’ I may have had for the day. Errands and added errands and business stuff and welding on the pedestal for the Motor Home and all sorta stuff.
I think my favorite was the welding on the pedestal for the chair. Cleaned up the botched job and started over. I had watched a video yesterday late on running the ‘puddle’ when doing stick welding and what it should look like and such. Nice video - through a protected lens so You actually see what it will look like through Your own protective lens and helmet. I did a better welding job today and am very proud of the fact that one time - out of half a dozen or so sticks - I started an arc and kept it going through the whole length of the stick! That was awesome when I realized I had done it. Doesn’t exactly mean the weld was that good - but does mean I am learning pretty quick.
The sun came out again today - too late to do a Motor Home trip out. Mebbe tomorrow. I mean - to be worth the gas and trouble the sun has just got to get out earlier in the day so I can be assured of having a chance of getting some better pics of my destination. Will have to get the pedestal mounted with the chair in the RV and plop my butt on it a couple times before I declare the welding semi good.
Not sure when I will be writing/working over the next few days - so lemme say to all to enjoy the summer and good weather on You.

I admit that I am not real big in the Home Decorating field. I am sort of ‘if it works - use it’ and that’s about the end of it. Not that I consider it to be woman’s work - but personally I have always left it to the Wives to figure out what I want for Home Decorating. That is the subject of the eBook that I started editing yesterday - and it is pretty full of good ideas and how to do it on a budget - get it right the first try - and mebbe have some fun doing it. Longer than most of my works - it should be ready in a few days if I don’t get too busy with the Motor Home and running around in case the weather should clear.
Still making a pretty good go of Surfing the Traffic Exchanges as well as the editing. The TEs are running all sorts of contests and jackpots and such lately - go and check them out.

Does anyone remember seeing the sun? We have been teased since the middle of last week - at least that long ago - that the sun would reappear in a couple days. Even if just peeking through the clouds now and then. But no. It has not happened. As each day rolls by the extended forecast has put the sun making an appearance a day or so into the future. So sad. One of the worst summers - so far - I have ever seen in Maine. I have seen an overall cooler summer season here - but not one without the sun. I think it has been something like 12 days since there was any substantial sun. Pathetic. I have actually been waiting for a day with the sun to set out in the Motor Coach to an area not too far away to take some pictures. Not gonna go if there ain’t not sun.
I had a productive weekend. Check the FREE Stuff Page for Your copy of the eBook on Green Tea and Weight Loss. It is pretty good stuff. It is also at the Book It Site if You want to resell the eBook. It doesn’t even cost too much. Not sure about the next project but I will probably decide something before the end of the day.
There is a new Article up at GottaHaveIt - covering the Kansas City Barbeque Ribs history and an outstanding recipe for KC Barbeque Ribs. Huzzah!
I hope to be working on the RV a little more later today - mebbe the welding job with all the new equipment I have to be trying that once again. I will fix that pedestal chair - heheh.
Hope the weather is better where You are and that You are having a fine summer - with ribs!

I managed to get about 2/3 of the way through editing the eBook and I am - yet again - amazed at the ‘goodness’ of Green Tea. Why doesn’t everybody see the benefits of this fine natural product? I dunno. I will try to finish it over the weekend and get it up at Book It. Who knows - if I remember I may give it away here and sell the eBook and resell rights at Book It.
I think being in the hospital for several days gets You in a bad habit of napping for a few hours - at most - and then You are ready to wake up to succumb to any testing in store for You. This routine is not good for a restful sleep while in the hospital or when You get home.
Still having a blast Surfing and winning prizes - winning so many it doesn’t even matter that I miss one now and then because I am distracted or don’t know what the ‘rules’ are for that prize. Fun stuff.
I have decided what the next destination will be for the Motor Home and now wait for at least a partly sunny day. We have nothing but rain or overcast forecast for the near future. Nice to be retired though - when the skies clear up I and the Wife can head out. Huzzah!
New Article up over at GottaHaveIt about Sailing. Check it out!
Have a great weekend. Take Care. ReV

I was thinking that I hadn’t really gone into much detail about the why I went to the hospital last week - sorta slipped my mind and I don’t think I mention it here all that often. I had been having the severe chest pains and shortness of breath and profuse sweating from forehead and general feeling of ’something ain’t right’ over the weekend. Having to rest after eating - I mean ‘falling asleep’ rest - as in not enough blood/oxygen to run all other normal activities like sitting and digesting at the same time. And this had been going on for a little over a month really bad. All of Your basic symptoms of the dreaded heart attack. I have had 1 confirmed heart attack - 2 ‘probably’ heart attacks - and 3 ‘controlled’ heart attacks due to the administration of various chemicals or procedures. I know what of I speak when it comes to chest pains.
So the ER got hold of me and muckled on hard and wouldn’t let me go until they was good and finished with me - 5 days later. Geez - what a friendly bunch. At any rate - lots of test were administered but nothing was ‘fixed’ and I am back roaming the streets of a city near You again - well mebbe.
There is a new Article up on the GottaHaveIt Page and I am working on a new eBook concerning something we should all be more aware of - well maybe most - Green Tea and Weight Loss. It looks to be a fairly decent bunch of info that may prove useful to You.
Dave continues to keep his Traffic Exchanges hopping - but I am missing out on some of the action because I am only a member of 2 of his efforts - Traffic Taxis and S.W.A.T. Check them out.
The Lesson On Life - otherwise known as LOL {why does that look familiar?} - You never know when You might be stepping off to the Great Beyond and it will prolly behoove You to be nice to people. It ain’t that hard.

Hi Folks. I got the Dress Making eBook completed and You can download it from the FREEbie Page now - and forever as far as I know - heheh. It is the ‘personal use’ copy. Read it - share the address - have a blast with it. Please don’t give away the zip file - just tell Folks where they can get it for FREE. If You would like to sell it Yourself it is available at Book It for a small price - and on sale for a few weeks.
Been having a blast Surfing on Traffic Taxis and S.W.A.T Traffic Exchanges. Lots of prizes and even cash is up for grabs - still. Dave - the owner - is heck bent on getting more people Surfing his group of Sites and is making it a lot of fun for all. Check them out.

Hey there. Late again - as almost always. But I have actually been working - over the weekend and this morning. Lots of Surfing yesterday and today and also started editing a new eBook yesterday - which is about half done - concerning Dress Making. It seems a very decent eBook with some good information and fashion tips. I am thinking I will give it away here and sell it with resell rights and such from Book It.
Still tired from my ordeals last week and trying to sleep more but this is an awfully busy time of the year for me.
Since all my angina and mini heart attacks I have had over the last couple months don’t seem to have hurt my heart - I gotta get with the primary doctor and see what we can do. Ya - I spent 5 days on the cardiac unit with a lot of testing and the end product of that is that my heart is the same as it was 4 years ago and whatever is going on is not heart related. Sure has the symptoms of it though. Geez. Mebbe someone ‘out there’ has an idea of which direction to go - lemme know if You do.
I will try to give up some of the ‘week away’ stories at various time. It was quite interesting.
