My toe doesn't hurt very much any more and the blood blister on my thumb is almost gone -- so I'd say that my recent excursion into roofing was a success.
And the roof in question looks good too, by-the-way.
Me, Joel and a friend of his named, Rick (who actually knows what he is doing when it comes to roofing and such) have been putting a new one on my parent's house for the last week or so. We used three dimensional, 50 year shingles that look really cool. The three of us are all still fairly sore from the project -- but it went well.
Now it is back to typing for me. I have Luna's cd, Romantica playing. I've just finished my second cup of coffee. It's Thursday, and the weekend is languidly strolling up closer. Things here are bright, and nice. The trees are lushly swaying. Slow and gentle.
It's hard to believe that August is rapidly drawing to a close. For something that has seemed rather vague, this Summer has moved very quickly. I hope that the warmth and greenery lasts into a long Autumn. I'm not really ready for stark chilliness yet.
Kelli and I have been talking about trying to get out to Starlake to see a concert before the end of Summer. I hope that we can. It would be cool to sit outside in the heat, under stars, and watch a band. I think Joel is still planning his tikki party, too. And then there is the Labor Day weekend...
Summer is still here, bright and blue-skied.
