Well, the worst wasn't quite past when I last posted. Another storm hit around 1:00 a.m., and there was enough thunder, lightning and wind to keep me from sleeping. But no damaging hail, so it was all good.

We drove into Rapid City today to buy some MaxAir vents to go over all of our standard vents, and Phil installed them and we're ready for whatever Custer wants to throw at us weatherwise. And they're nice because we can keep the vents open and not worry about rain getting in. My job today was to replace a seal in our toilet. Our toilet wouldn't hold water, so I took it apart and noticed the seal that was in there had a little bubble in it that wouldn't flatten out. So I got to take the toilet apart today and replace that seal. It wasn't hard, and luckily the toilet isn't too disgusting yet since we just got the place, so only rubber gloves were needed this time. Next time I'll probably have to get out the hazmat suit and gas mask as well. I'm looking forward to it.

That's about all our excitement for now. We were going to take Willoughby swimming today at Legion Lake, but the winds are still pretty fierce, so I don't think that would be a good idea. She likes to swim, but I don't want her to get a snootfull of whitecaps.
