Used Sid’s wheelbarrow to haul some excess bank run gravel from our driveway over to where the utility trench has settled some more across the Glassner’s driveway. As soon as I started, so did the rain. In spite of getting somewhat damp, got the Glassner’s driveway smoothed out pretty good. Managed to blow a fuse in trying to figure out why a lamp in the living area all of a sudden wasn’t working, with both bulbs kaput. Hmmm…. Then tackled cleaning the RV’s shower compartment. The Beast has a skylight over the shower, which is a very nice feature. Found two cracks in the outer cover when I took down the inner cover to clean between the two. Stains on the bathroom ceiling now explained, as rain water was coming through one crack at a fairly good rate. Shampooed the master bedroom and hallway carpets. Shampooed the dining / living area carpet again. The RV carpet is now at a cleanliness point where, if this were my house, I’d be thinking that sometime fairly soon they really should be cleaned, i.e., just barely acceptable and by no means “clean”. Went up to Calais and spent the night there with Steve (brother) and Mary (his girlfriend) to attend to the property I own there. The mosquitoes and black flies in Calais were fierce!!!!
