Happy 4th everyone!! I was up at 4:30 am this am to put a coat of rubberized sealant on the roof . It took about three hours for Loran and myself to do the deed. Just in time it was getting hot by 7:00 (around 95ish). For those who dont know what I am talking about , In the southwest most houses that are not "cookie cutter houses" have flat roofs. Every few years or so they require a new coat of this sealent stuff that reminds me of liquid latex.

Other than that today was very relaxing. I rode the trainer for a little more than an hour( to hot outside and I was busy this am).

Suprisingly I have not heard of any deaths this year yet from people riding or doing hard labor during the hot hours of the day (10-8ish). Usualy one or two people a week drop and either die or have heat stroke. It is almost impossible to stay hydrated when you are sweating faster that you can consume fluids.

Thats all for today. Also here is a picture of the Statue of Liberty
