Just in case it starts to sink or slump, I wanted some pictures to remember how it was supposed to be.
As a commuter car, this can happen. I struggled hard to see 50.0 on our weekend driving. We did about 380 miles on our round trip Saturday followed by a trip into Naperville later, and then back out to Dekalb on Sunday to have lunch with our Chinese NIU friends. Open road driving combined with heavy winds makes it not happen so good. This turned out to be about 54 or 55mpg at the pump. The display is always 2 or 3 mpg high.
Some night I'll have to try to get my camera to take pictures of the 'rope light effect'. It turned out pretty much exactly what we wanted. We get a glow on that inside lip of the wall, and a glow on the concrete below. It's not obnoxious bright or anything either.
I'm reasonably sure we won't have a big enough wind to somehow get this table and chairs to blow away now.
So far, we haven't found any alligators in our swamp, just frogs. On any good day, we find 4 or 5 "Large mans hand sized" frogs hanging out in this swampy area. Once they see ya, they jump in the culvert.
There we have it. Now, we just line up the birds so everyone gets a chance to use the new bathroom we installed for them.
