Winds

We had a bit of a windstorm last night. Instead of going to work today, I spent the day buying 3-tab shingles and replacing a bunch that got blown off by the wind. Just over a year ago we had a similar storm which blew significantly more shingles off. That was Thursday the 4th of December, 2003. I was up on the roof covering it in a plastic tarp, in the dark as the wind howled, and the rain came down. Not much fun. It was also the night before I had to fly to Phoenix to be with my dad, as he was dying. Todays little task up on the roof brought back the memories.
I was able to be with him as he took his last breath on the 6th of December.
