We pulled into the drive on Tuesday afternoon a little after 4:30 p.m. It was good to be home! However, it was Dang Hot in Colorado Springs. Fortunately, a storm blew in shortly after we arrived cooling things off somewhat. Wednesday and Thursday were more of the same hot temperatures. It is right now 99 degrees, down from a high of 101. The only good news is that the humidity is only 16%. Anything much higher would turn us from roasting into being broiled.

The server is back up and running. The UPS power supply had failed. Consequently, even if I had remote access, I wouldn’t have been able to do anything about the problem. I’m going to look for options that would continue to provide city power when the battery UPS fails like this one did.

On Wednesday I hauled the trailer to several places to get estimates for the repair. One place estimated $1400 to fix the front of the trailer. The place where we bought the trailer doesn’t fix fiberglass and wants $4800 to replace the front of the trailer. I’m pretty sure that the insurance isn’t going to fund a replacement….!! Repairing the awning ranged from $420 to $525. The insurance adjuster will be at the house on Monday afternoon to tell me what they will fund. It’s been an interesting experience getting the estimates! Fortunately, the folks who will likely get the work to do are not the folks who took the longest to do a simple estimate and are also booked full until mid-late August.

Ashlyn seems to be enjoying herself and Kendra is quite happy to be home. Kendra flew back yesterday (by herself) and has finished her three-week vacation. Ashlyn is out seeing the sights in Colorado Springs. She’ll fly home next Wednesday, given that she hasn’t been roasted (or broiled) in the meantime!
