The rain hit about midnight on Thursday night and didn't let up until Sunday. The wind was minimal so I didn't loose any of my tarps.
I did spring a new leak. I am thinking it leaked through the plastic that I fastened down during the middle of last summer - screw holes through the battens. Luckily it dripped through my whole-house fan and missed the drywall on the ceiling (at least from what I can tell).
No other leaks and it looks like I have tarp placement down to an art.
On a more depressing note:
This month Men's Health reported that Crunch Berries, http://www.capncrunch.com, aren't a real fruit. Needless to say I am greatly disappointed. As a child my mom would not buy these "unhealthy" breakfast cereals for me. When I started to purchase my own groceries somehow the Captain Crunch would find its way into my grocery cart. It was always the type with the Berry's from the mysterious tree. 100 pounds later....
Not that I suspected that the berries were real, but it was so much more easier for me to rationalize the eating of Captain Crunch if it had real fruit. Considering how dumb some people can be, I suspected that there were people who thought that the crunch berries were real and it was confirmed when I found out that someone filed a lawsuit against Quaker for "fooling them" into thinking the fruity little red balls were real.
The lawyer should be disbarred and the women who filed the case should be sent back to elementary school.
They still taste good even if they are fake.
Now I need to know what flavor the Orange colored Hostess cupcakes really are.
