A MURAL AND A LEAK


This is our last day in Minneapolis (OK, we're in Eagan), and we picked up grandson Mica from daycare. The south side of Minneapolis is a unique and diverse bunch of peoples and structures. I think Caucasian is a minority, but I don't think any ethnic group is a majority.

As we were stopped at a red light, Ellen saw a mailbox at the curb, and having a couple of bills to post, she got out. Of course the light turned green as soon as she closed the door. I wheeled around the corner, and it gave an opportunity for a photo of one of the kajillion murals painted on store and shop walls. I passed the camera out to Ellen and she snapped a few digitals. Thought this one was nice, so enjoy.

Still hot, and today a bit more humid than Sunday. I discovered a water problem :-( in our basement (yes, our RV has a basement). I noticed wet edges on a piece of masonite laying on the floor under the ton of junk in the "belly". I found most of the floor's carpet was wet. Blotting as much up as possible, and looking for the source, we finally found our shower drain is leaking way up near the top of the drain pipe. A bucket under the u trap will prevent further wetness on the floor, but it was added to our list of warranty work we are hoping to get done in Sheldon IA later this month. We've got a fan under there now, with both bay doors open.
