Fingers Crossed

We climbed up on the roof today to see if we could find the source of our living room leak. We discovered that the weather boot on the coax leading out of the TV antenna had slipped off, so we replaced it. We also lubricated the TV antenna as directed with silicone spray (partly to make it operate more smoothly and partly to help insure that the rubber ring inside doesn't dry up and cause a future leak).

We also replaced the duct tape on the bed slide. It's raining now, and we're supposed to have a "gully washer" tomorrow according to one of the locals, so we'll have a good test of our repair measures. Here's hoping we have our fingers in the right holes in the dike...

It was supposed to be sunny today, and we did see the sun this morning, but the rest of the day was overcast with scattered drizzle. It was warm, though, so that's one good thing. We took a brief walk and found the mosquitoes or some sort of biting bugs.
