Friday, Jan 29, 2021 – Finished The Ramp Mat

Hi Sweetie,
Lola was restless last night, so I didn’t really get a good deep sleep, but it wasn’t too bad. I was up fairly early, and got started on my big project of finishing up the replacement of the ramp mat. The worst part was getting all the rest of the glue off, but with Goo Gone, pressuring washing, the rough side of a sponge and my scraper, I eventually managed to get it all off. After some careful deliberation and planning, I managed to devise a way to tack it down, glue it off in two halves, then get all the rest of the screws in, with the addition of some wide washers to keep the screws from pulling through, and a little bit of trimming around the edge, though I’ve covered more that what was previously done, so I’m hoping that’s a plus. I think it came out pretty good in the end, and the surface is DEFINITELY much less slippery than the old one. I’m certain Flash will like this a lot better, and maybe I can even get him to stop leaping out the back of the trailer, though I doubt I’ll ever get him to back out. Of course, Apollo couldn’t care less, but maybe he’ll like it better, too. That took most of the day, then James and I got the animals fed and put away, and I settled down for a nice peaceful evening. Brother Glenn is on his way from Texas in his motorhome, he and wife Dena will be arriving tomorrow around midday, if all goes according to plan. Not sure what the next few days has in store! Took my shower early, and I’ll be heading to bed shortly. Love you, babe! Good night!
