Follow the Bouncing Ball (To the Tune of 'Oh, What a Beautiful Day')

Oh! What a bee-yoo-ti-ful morning!
Oh! What a bee-yoo-ti-ful day.
I'll have a new roof by week's end,
For anything heading our way, hey...
¡Gracias! Juan ý José.

Yay! Just in time for....fall!!!!

Watch out for roofing nails after they are done. My in-laws stepped on a few after thier new roof was put on. My father in law still finds them every now and then.

That's great news, Ms. Sister, especially since roofing materials may grow more scarce in the following months. Good you got in when you did.

Oh, I will, Kraut! But after living with that FEMA blue roof for a YEAR, while going through 4 MORE storms, 2 of which were Cat 3 or better, I am so Gotdamned happy to have the thing fixed, I could pick up nails with a smile for years.

And there's no fall here anymore. Our world begins in JUN and ends in NOV, with the hurricane season.

Plus I know my tetnus shot is up to date. {8^P

Thanks, you! Scarce and mucho dinero, Diptera. MUCHO. Thank GOD I had the deposit down months ago to lock in the shingle price AND so they could get them ordered.
