It was her eyes. They mesmerized me.
They couldn’t believe how we became so close.
In a few weeks, I knew you were the one.
I held you tight under the stars the night
when I saw tears fall from your eyes.
You told me what your grandma said to you.
She said, “you are black and he is white. Brigham Young
said that God would kill you both if you make love so end it tonight.”
My heart was broke, and I never fixed it.
They moved her away to live with her grandparents.
It’s been some years, and I hear she’s now engaged.
If I could go back, I know what I would say
when I saw tears fall from your eyes.
You told me what your grandma said to you.
She said, “you are black and he is white. Brigham Young
said that God would kill you both if you make love so end it tonight.”
I lay in my truck with the stars throughout the sky.
The black and white blanket of bliss can’t soothe my tenderness.
You’re the girl I’ll always miss.

I write songs about events in my life. I write them so I can play them, and they make me feel better. I don’t want anyone to think that I have anything against mormons or I think that mormons are racist. My brother is black, and some of our closest friends growing up were mormon. The only thing I knew about Brigham Young was that he had a school named after him. I only researched Brigham Young after the fact. There were many racists back in that time. Hopefully, there will come a time, as our cultures merge, when people will look at differences as a plus and not a reason to hate.
I installed a Kenmore water softener in a shed. If you are unable to install the Kenmore softener in the garage, you will need to install it in a shelter. These units cannot be exposed to weather. The digital readout will quickly fail.
After the installation of the softener (regeneration), I drained the hot water heater. Otherwise, it takes a couple of days before the hot water is softened. In addition, it’s good to drain the hot water heater at least once per year to remove sediment build-up.
This video shows how to apply Liquid Rubber to a 5th wheel camper. It also looks at basic AC maintenance, and prep work for Liquid Rubber.
Liquid Rubber is the same as Liquid Roof. Liquid Roof is marketed towards RVs and that is the only difference.
You can purchase Liquid Rubber in 1 gallon or 5 gallon containers. I recommend buying it in 1 gallon containers. It is a little bit more expensive; however, you won’t feel that you have to rush the job with 1 gallon applications. You see, once you apply the catalyst to the 5 gallon container, you only have around 4 hours to work with the product. If you run into any issues during the cut-in process or anything else, you have the possibility of wasting gallons of liquid rubber.
I used 4 gallons on this 30ft 5th wheel with a little extra to spare. I purchased Liquid Rubber through Amazon.
I’m going to be applying rubber roof to a 5th wheel camper. While I was on the roof, I noticed that the camper had a broken vent. Critters and crawl in through the broken vent and cause issues for the Air Conditioner. This video shows how I fixed the vent.
Please unplug the TV before removing the lamp cover.
The issue has to do with the switch that sits behind the lamp cover. Over time, the switch sends false signals. The plastic heats up, and the switch thinks that the lamp cover has been opened, the TV will then turn off. You need to put electrical tape on the witch so that the switch always thinks the lamp cover is closed.
