Just finished watching "The Forgiven", a story of Desmond Tutu and the Truth and Reconciliation
Commission (TRC). Well worth watching.

The 10 part Ken Burns Vietnam show is on Netflix now. That is a good
binge show. You might even recognize some of the stuff although they
do seem to be talking more about the Marines in the first few shows I
have seen.

I have to admit that I've never enjoyed a Vietnam documentary of any kind. But, based on your
recommendation, I'll give it a shot. Most of today is supposed to be rainy anyway, and there's no
golf to watch. Besides, Tiger really disappointed me last weekend.



I had put off some outdoor projects thinking this week would be a
washout.

Last week the weather people were working overtime issuing dire warnings
of severe thunderstorms, torrential rains, flash flooding and all sorts
of calamities in our area starting last Saturday night and lasting for
most of this week.

I think I heard one, distant soft roll of thunder Saturday morning and
we had a few sprinkles that didn't even wet the roadways. Yesterday was
sunny but humid with a few clouds but no rain. Looks like today will be
similar.

Maybe if I go out and start my projects the rain will quickly begin.
We need some rain around here. Lawns are drying up and running
sprinklers doesn't help ... just a waste of water.




We had over 6" here on Saturday. Yesterday morning loud thunder and lots of rain. Off and on
throughout the day. Today's forecast is 100% chance of thunderstorms throughout the day. I've got a
new bug deflector for the truck. Hopefully it'll dry up long enough to install it.

Pretty.
The whole front of my camper is covered with bugs. It'll probably
take an hour to clean up. Today we do the beartooth highway.
We've done it before but this time we have a dashcam.

Sounds like fun. I put this stuff on my rig this spring. Seems to work very well at making bugs easy
to get off.

The latest product I'm trying is Dry Wash from Rain X. We just
came from the FMCA rally in Gillette. There are numerous products
that claim to chase dirt and bugs away. Mosr were expensive. One
product that cought my eye was a whole body shaker that claimed
to cure everything but cancer. The price range was from 1100 to
2500 dollars. A few minutes on the machine left you feeling
pretty good. A quick check on Amazon brought up prices around 200
dollars. Web MD says there could be some minor benefit to using
the machine but most of the claims are bogus. It pays to check
things out before you buy. For the brain dead (YKW) there is
always Consumer Reports to steer buying decisions.
