Midnight fountain.

Last night while laying in bed waiting for the visions of sugar plums I could hear water falling over the sound of the howling wind. Now what's this, it's not raining, so exploration was in order. It didn't take long to discover the source, the fresh water hose had burst and was working on creating lake John. 
The lake in the process of drying this morning.

The culprit, the white spot is where the blowout occurred.

 Final preparations are under way for getting under way in the morning. PaT has been stowed under my neighbors awning, the holy hose has been trashed. This afternoon I will stow the sewer hose and the interior has all been secured. The first stop will be Del Rio where Walmart will preform the get ready to travel oil change.

 Cardinal baseball is on this afternoon and I might be running the air with the temperature already 85 and the humidity is 80%. It needs to be a bit cooler to enjoy the good life.

    Glad you found the source before Lake John had a chance to form :D

    Besides a visit to the oil and lube center at Walmart will you be spending anytime in Del Rio?

      There's a possibility I'll overnight there tomorrow and get the oil change Friday morning.

    Never can get away without something going wrong. Better now than on the road though. At least that's what I keep telling myself. lol

    Thank goodness that leak was outside of Mel! It wouldn't have been good to have Lake John inside...
