Wind Storm and cleaning the roof

Monday the 4th we were in town and I totally forgot to get my blood test so I got a call from Kaiser yesterday that it was due.  We got up early, made our usual stop at BK for breakfast and took Pleasant Hill Rd to Longview.  The first thing we noticed was the sunrise so I took pictures at a couple of spots.  This one from just South of Lexington across from Rocky Point was my favorite.  Even with the stops we got to Kaiser right at eight.  I had my blood test and was back out to the car in about ten minutes.  I got the results this afternoon and they were right in the middle of the range they want.

It was windy again Tuesday night and our power was out for four hours during the night.  The wind had knocked down lots of debris on the driveway.  I got the mower out and used it to blow it off.  Since I had the trailer on I threw some of the bigger branches in it.  When I headed to the brush pile I noticed that two or three big limbs had came down in the yard.  I got the pole saw out so I didn't have to bend down to cut them up, then loaded them onto the trailer and the bagger frame.  You can see the ends right behind the seat.

Yesterday was a really nice day.  While Vera was at bible study I started cleaning the gutters on the East side.  Water had been flowing out of them right by the back door.  After doing some cleaning I could see there was a low spot there.  So I remounted the North section of gutter so there is a slope both ways.  After cleaning the gutter I decided the roof needed to be blown off.  By this time I had both step ladders and the scaffolding out and it was really easy to go up the big step ladder I bought for getting on the motor home and step onto the roof.  After I finished both sides of the roof I had a heck of a mess on the decks so I washed and cleaned the East one.  This picture is today looking North from the West side of the roof when I unplugged the down spout.

This picture is looking South on the West side of the roof.  The motor home ladder worked great on this side also but I didn't need to get on the roof.  I think the West gutter could use a slight adjustment also but I was too tired by the time I cleaned up the West deck so it will have to wait until another day.  It has been a busy two days but I can sure see a difference.  Chances are I will sleep really good tonight.
