It's been over a week since my last post. Let's see if I can get caught up.

Overhead storage box masking a big leak, July 19, 2009
The leaks on the overcab area are bigger than I first thought
That bloody useless shallow box Lazy Daze built in at the head of the overhead bed has been masking a leak. You can just see a bit of water damage under the mattress near it. But wait 'til you see what's under that box!

Shopping for sensation
The purest example of human shopping I know of can be seen by watching a child go through life touching absolutely everything. You’re watching that child shop for information, for understanding, for knowledge, for experience, for sensation. Especially for sensation, otherwise why would he have to touch or smell or taste or hear anything twice? Keep looking: Watch a dog. Watch a bird. Watch a bug. You might say the ant is searching for suitable food. I say he is shopping.
