Brent and I put the run on a raccoon when we first set up the tent in the back yard. It seems to think the back yard is its back yard. I put the run on it again last night around 7pm. It came back a couple of times in the night, though, banging around in the back yard and and making grunting noises close to the tent. Makes it hard for me to sleep. Stupid raccoon….

I have named the back yard raccoon ‘Frankie’ (Frankie Five Fingers). The Google says that raccoons grunt to signal their presence to homeowners, so when Frankie comes by at night and grunts, she’s probably just letting us know that she’s here. We’ve seen her digging in the lawn, which The Google says is her looking for food - probably grubs.

Then, this morning, the heavy rain showed up and for the first time ever our tent sprung some leaks. We think we can scotch guard around the seams of the roof vent so hopefully we can get that done today. The rain is supposed to clear off for several hours. If we get that taken care of maybe we’ll go see the Elvis movie this afternoon when the rain returns.

We bought some Scotch Guard today and sprayed the vents on our fly. Hopefully that seals up the drips.
