Well - the naked rattle-shaking rain dance out on the work deck was exhausting and the elk in the near pasture seemed mystified by all of that - but we are right now (5:45 PM MDT) having a gentle light downfall. Some rumblings continue in the distance, so maybe the output will improve. Let's hope this to be the start of a continuum.

Trailer repair is estimated a little over five grand and it is covered by insurance. The bad news they will not get the parts until after we are back home so it will be a tent for us. We will sleep in the car or find a campground for the two nights it takes us to get there. Too bad, Scott. I guess timing is everything, huh.
The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.

I did see a trailer similar to yours for sale in the parking lot of the grocery store yesterday for $1900. If I had the $$$ I would have bought it. I didn't get the phone # and it wasn't there today.

Already tried that. If it was a car we would have a loaner but not for a trailer. We are looking into renting something like a teardrop.

Please tell me that you will desist from such activities during the Gathering!  Or, was it Maddy on the work deck????? Sorry, couldn't resist...  Ed

Ed - had to press all troops into service - so we both were out on the deck shakin' and rattlin' away to the rainmakers. Except for the elk and eagles, there is lots of privacy out here,
Got results too - nice 1/2 hour drizzle to get the pre-monsoon continuum started. Hope the rest of you guys in the SW are doin' your part.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again. Will bring lots of drinks for the whole crowd. Strawberry soda seems to be a big hit even though no one admits it.
By the way. Have friend looking for an M1 carbine. If you have one to sell let me know or bring it along.

That's great news Paul. Glad to hear that you're being blessed with a little moisture.

Trailer Update. Insurance put the repair money in our bank account 4 days after we told them about the trailer damage. But it looks like their estimate was a little off. The said it would require both sections of the roof be replaced but it looks like only the front section is beyond repair. A new window in the back, something I can do myself may be all the back needs. The parts to repair everything have to come from Indiana and after ordering it ill take 6 to 8 weeks to get them. But the best news is If I do a little work cleaning up and removing limbs sticking through the roof then screwing down to pieces of plywood and sealing with some silicone caulk the trailer will be good to go at least for Quemado. It won't be pretty but it will be dry and a good place for two old people to sleep in. We are at the farm now and have the inside drying out. The weather even has been cooperating. My son will be here tomorrow and after my daughter's wedding Saturday we will have three days to get the trailer road ready. Quemado, here we come!
