Fixing a hole where the rain gets in, and keeps my mind from wandering

[scott_sanford]

It's the rainy season in Oregon - that is, not summer - and my kitchen roof has developed a leak, in what has become the usual place. So the residents have been out on the gratuitously flat water-attracting roof laying down a huge blue tarp that will cover the entire roof and mark us as rednecks to any over-flying space aliens.

This is nothing compared to the battles Kevin Standlee has documented with "That Darn Roof" down in Mehama, but there's nothing like doing roof work in the rain to make one appreciate having a roof in the first place.
