Welcome Summer

... now tone it down please...
Well, it's May 5th (happy Cinco de Mayo) and it's hot down here. Not bad hot (yet) but Fruit Bat and I are already pining for those glorious 75 degree days.
Also, I managed to get sunburned already. (Sigh)
Had a bit of an adventure today- last night I got off work at around the same time as FB so she wound up following me back to the dorm. During the course of this trip, she noticed that one of my tailllights was out, and there was about an inch of water swishing around inside of the light. O.o
We couldn't really do anything about it last night, but today we went ahead and pulled out the light. Wow, easy to say, but we had no clue what we were doing, so it took a long time. Fruit Bat was an immeasurable help.
We got the light undone and turned it upside down and sideways, trying to get the water out and also so we could see where it had gotten in, but we weren't able to tell anything. We had to completely pull off the colored plastic casing and dump it (there was a LOT of water!), of the four lights, one was broken, and one didn't really work, so we had to figure out how to remove the bulbs (a challenge in itself) since they didn't screw into place, but were snap-ins. We then ran down to wal-mart to get new bulbs and replace them.
Now I just hope it doesn't rain for a while. Until we can figure out where the leak is- though if the sunshine is any indication, I wouldn't count on rain for a month.
Stupid sunburned shoulders....
