No intrusion.....

 7:52 am - Sunday - January 25th - TWW - 21° F, humidity 26%, cloud cover 2%, wind 5 mph out of the north.....crystal clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 45° F.  The view this morning.....


....and on this date in 2018 our daughter, Meredith, came to visit us whilst we were working at the Grand Canyon.....



....that winter, and yes, it was cold!

Saturday was cold, breezy, snowy and rainy, and a day to remain inside the warm confines of our 1982 Newell Classic.  Other than the time we spent at the greenhouse first thing in the morning checking on our growing plants, we spent pretty much all day indoors.  We did get some snow....


....and rain, and that was that for which we were waiting.  Waiting to see if the rain would get into the garage.....



.....and it did not.  These pictures were taken this morning, but when I went to check yesterday afternoon there was water all across the garage door on the left (the first picture), but none inside.  You can still see some of the water which froze overnight in the first picture.  Normally, after even a light rain storm there are puddles of water inside both garages.  For now I am pronouncing the installation  of the rubber seal a resounding success with zero water intrusion.  The snow, while heavy, only lasted 30, or 40 minutes, while the rain (really a drizzle) lingered for  a couple hours....just enough rain to test the rubber gasket's effectiveness.

Four our evening entertainment we began watching 'Landman', a Paramount series.  Most everyone we've talked with loves it, so now that there are two full seasons available, with season 3 coming soon, we can begin to 'binge watch' it.  The verdict?  We watched the first three, or four episodes, and we love it.  Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone, 1883, 1923), who writes the story, is an amazingly prolific writer, and story teller.

Thanks for stopping by!
