Why is summer going so FAST?

Another week has almost passed. This year seems to be going triple fast. Already talking about when we'll be leaving for the winter. We might make a long varied trip of it this year. Taking in some sights in Utah and New Mexico before getting further west. If we do that we'll have to leave before it starts getting cold in the Rockies area.
Weather is still cooperating in mid 70s to mid 80s - it is humid though - ish! ugh! But another front is supposed to blow through tonight and put an end to the humidity. My kind of summer as far as the heat goes.
I'm putting the polyurethane coat of weather proofing on my new barn quilt. All coats are taking a long time to dry with the sticky weather. Should be ready to hang by Monday. This one measures 4' x 4' - a little too big to work comfortably on.

The Alfa is at the RV doc getting the satellite for the TV fixed/replaced. Did not like the portable one at all. Should be able to pick it up Tuesday or Wednesday and then we're having the front face of it coated with a rock resistant paint. From the bottom of the windows down. We used to have a leather bra but eventually it got all full of holes and knicks.
Then it will be ready to go - but I won't yet.
Bill replaced the glass in the small broken window and work on the stained glass piece for the living room window continues. Now I have to figure out how I'm going to finish it. It will be a rectangle that we can hang in the window.
Went to the doctor and got all my stitches out - had several moles checked - all is well. Don't have to worry about that any more. Now Bill has a terrible cold! - I've never seen any one get such bad colds as he does. Really miserable with them.
Been reading an interesting series of books by Eileen Dreyer - she writes mysteries with her main characters being ER and trauma nurses. Very gritty writing.
Whoa! Tony Stewart -a NASCAR - championship driver broke his leg in a race a couple of days ago. Not a NASCAR cup race but in a small sprint car on a dirt track. This coming after he had a bad wreck in the same kind of car the beginning of the week. There goes his championship hopes. Unless he can figure out how to drive with his right leg in a cast. Wouldn't put it past him.  In about a half hour is the Nationwide race - a road course and tomorrow the Cup race. They are fun and interesting to watch.
