Saturday, October 23, 2021 – Got My Mail, Another Busy Day!

Hi Darlin’,
Another good night sleep, another busy day! I took some ibuprofen last night just to make sure the aches and pain didn’t wake me too early, so I slept like a baby, thank goodness! After chores and breakfast, I ran back into town to pick up my package, and as soon as I got back I installed it, so now I have a working CO2 monitor AND my kitchen light, which was on the same circuit. I also dropped down the air conditioning framework to see if I could figure out where a strange puddle came from, but there were no obvious signs it came from there, but I washed out the filter while I had it apart. Finally, I got back to waxing the rest of the trailer, and finished the job just as my wax ran out, perfect timing! Then I looked at the front cap of the trailer, figuring I would just reseal it, but it’s turning out to be a bit more complicated than that, the front piece of aluminum is actually pulling away from the trailer, so I started trying to get off all the old sealant, not an easy task, and brushed a bunch of rust neutralizer along it, since it seems a little rusty up there. Not bad, but I don’t want it to get any worse. It’s supposed to dry in 24 hours, but I’m going to tackle the problem in the morning, the most challenging being how to hold the piece in place after I seal it, as there’s no way to clamp it. I have an idea, don’t know if it will work, we’ll see in the morning. I also compounded off some paint overspray I had forgotten was up there, washed the windows, pounded a couple of things back into place, cleaned the gutters out better, and generally just kept cleaning, since I seem to be on a cleaning tear right now! Finally quit around 5:00 again, had my grilled burger and settled down for the evening. Tami walked up and we chatted for a couple of hours, we’re getting along like a house on fire, and she gave me some GREAT ideas for some stopovers on my trip north next summer. Apparently there are a number of trail associations like here at Mingo trails that have properties they maintain for horse camping and trail riding, she gave me some names, and the idea to research for more, so hopefully I’ll have a whole new bunch of camps, yay! Tired again, not surprisingly, and I have another busy non-riding day tomorrow, so I’m heading off to shower and bed momentarily! Love you, babe! Good night!
