One thing I just realized is the strobe tubes are at 45' angles so there is no need for intersection lights. Some of them however have flashing alley lights that improve the side view.

well it looks like today is going to be a beutiful day. it looks like it is going to be in the mid 70's. the trees are starting to get their leaves, i love this time of year.i was able to fix the dent on our dad's minivan enough so that you can now open the door all the way. it still has a few small dents in it but it is better then what it was. we spent a good bit of the afternoon yesterday watching the race. it was interesting because they were racing the COT cars. Star Trek Enterprise is on tonight so that is cool. well got to go, see ya'll.

yesterday was interesting. we did some work around the house. someone on the freecycle list was getting rid of a big piece of furniter but i guess someone else got it because we haven't heard anything. i was excited because we would have had to rent a truck to move it, but since we aren't getting it we won't have to rent a truck. we helped our dad put up the scaffolding that we have, i'l post some pictures later on today if i can. i think they are starting to do some kind of constertion work along the side of the road that we live on. all morning and most of the afternoon yesterday we were hearing trucks and eqitment at the far end of the street. i am hoping that they will be doing so work at our end of the street because i love watching that sort of stuff. they aren't working on the road, they are digging a tranch along the side of the road and they are going to be burying a cable, or at least i think that is what they are doing.our grass is starting to get kind of tall so we are going to have to cut it pretty soon. we also watched four more episodes of Star Trek Enterprise last night, so that is cool. well got to go, see ya'll a little later.

well not mush happened yesterday. i am waiting for a package of computer memory that i bought on ebay to come. we finished filling our pool back up but we have to get sand for the filter first before we can start filtering the water. i still have to get a muffler and a new fuel tank for my R/C truck. well got to go, see ya'll.

pictures and a video of the new ambulance that our dad was using yesterday.

**jump5fan** · 05-10-2007, 06:58 AM

yesterday was hot, it got up i think 85F. it was almost 90F in the sun. our dad stopped by while he was on duty to pick up something that he forgot. he came by with a new ambulance that they bought recently for the one station. we did some more cleaning around the house and then we played some airsoft for a short time. the memory for the computer didn't come yesterday so i'm guessing it will come either today or towmoro.well got to go, see ya'll.

**jump5fan** · 05-11-2007, 07:39 AM

well not much happened yesterday. i we had a storm coming our way so i was checking the radar a lot through our the afternoon. i took some pictures with my kodak camera for a little while. the other day a guy with a verision van stopped along our street and spraypainted lines going across the road and running along the side of the road. i think they are going to make the drain ditch along the road so that the next time it rains really hard the rain water stays in the stream and doesn't flood the road. it doesn't really flood the whole road but sometimes it rains hard enough that there will be between 1 and 3 inches of water covering half of the road. yesterday it got up into the 80's again. the air condisioner didn't seam to be working as well as to should so we took the cover off of the A-coil in the garage and found that it was covered with ice. it took a littlew while to melt the ice and we ended up getting a little bit of water everywhere. we turned the heater and that really helped to melt the ice. the only thing is that it ended up getting king of warm inside the house, but the air condisioner is working now so that is good. we are going to need to cut the grass soon because it is starting to get really tall in some spots. we found out that the memory for the computer was shipped yesterday and it is coming by pririty mail so it should get here in 2 or 3 or 4 days. i think it is really cool that they can ship something that fast, they can ship stuff across the country in only a couple days. we are going to try to finish cleaning the house over the next couple of days so that we can get the house aperased. well that's it for now see ys'll a little later.

Pretty sweet! Does it have any LED modules? I'm gonna try to get pics of Augusta's new Ambulance.

**jump5fan** · 05-11-2007, 01:54 PM

i don't think it has any LED modules.

**jump5fan** · 05-12-2007, 06:24 AM

it is so pretty around here because all of the trees are getting their leaves, i love this time of year. i want to get some pictures of insects and stuff but that is kind of hard because they move. i also like this time of year because we start getting thunderstorms. the computer memory should come either today or Monday. we got a lot of stuff done around the house yesterday too. our dad and i are going to go pick up a CD changer in a little bit. see ya'll a little later.

**jump5fan** · 05-13-2007, 06:19 AM

well i'm going to have to make this kind of short because we are going to church in about a hour. we picked up the CD changer ysterday but it isn't working rightfor some reason, so we are going to have to look at it. the computer memory came yesterday and i installed it in the computer but it still doesn't want to turn on so i am goingto have to look at that too. we got ta lot of stuff done around the house yesterday which is good. they were going to race last light at Darington but i guess the race got rained out, i'm not sure if they are going to race today or not. everything around here is getting really green. the trees are getting their leaves and the grass is getting tall as well. we are going to have to cut the grass pretty soon. we are going to pick up sand for the pool filter today after church. i am excited becaus ewe are going to church, i love going to church. the weather is driving me nuts because jalmost every time that there is a storm or something on the radar it disaperes or changes durestion or something before it hits us, and i want to try recording some lightning with my video camera. there is one thing about this time of year that can be sort of a pain and that is pollin from the trees and stuff. it shows up very nicely on cars and trucks and stuff. one thing that i have noticed is that my alergeis haven't really been acting up or anything which is a good thing. well got to go, i need to getting ready for church, see ya'll a little later.

**jump5fan** · 05-14-2007, 07:46 AM

we went to church yesterday which is good. we stopped at our grandfather's place for a little bit. my PM3 player was acting up yesterday for some reason. somehow all of the songs were deleted and i only noticed after we had left home for church. i think i fixed it but i have to put all of the music back on it. we stopped and picked up filter sand on our way home for church. when we got home i mowed the yard because it was starting to get tall in some areas. all of the water that comes from the washing machine goes under the house and then it is pumped out side. the water ends up flowing into a lower area of our yard, and this happens a couple times a day. it is the grass in that area that was getting the tallest. the last four episodes of Star Trek Enterprise season three are on tonight, so we will be watching that tonight. our dad got three hibiscus plants at homedepot. i love hibiscus, i will post some pictures sometime. well got to go, see ya'll later.
