Monday, February 13, 2023 – Bed Fix, Pool Clean

Hey Babe,
Woke up to fairly, but not entirely, flat mattresses, so I spent a good portion of the day trying to solve that problem. First I spent some time on the internet trying to find a replacement, but the one mattress I really like doesn’t carry the full short anymore. I currently have a queen but it’s so cramped I though that a full would be a better choice, but I may not be able to find one. I finally ended up stripping the bed, again, and looking for leaks. I found an old, unopened vinyl repair kit and used that to make a bigger patch around the previous hole that I had found, because I discovered there was still a small leak on the edge of my previous fix. But when I came back a few hours later, the whole patch just fell off, so apparently the tube of cement isn’t good anymore, even though it was unopened. So I used some more Airstop to try to plug it up, hoping that does the trick. Then I took out the second mattress, changed into a bathing suit, and took it to the pool to try to find the leak, which I FINALLY did, once again along a seam, and put Airstop on that, too. I sure hope it works, because replacing the mattress is looking to be a real PITA! Several layers and some dry time later, I put it all back together again (I’m getting really tired of stripping down this bed and making it up again!), so tonight will be the test. Airstop has never let me down before, so I’m hoping for small miracle. Seems my microwave is on the fritz, may have to be replacing that soon! Spent some time cleaning Jeff’s pool, it was a real mess, and he’s been so busy fixing the Bronco the pool has gone to pot, but it’s much better now. Watched an intriguing movie with Michael Keaton about the history of McDonald’s, and a quick Remington Steele, now I’m ready for shower and bed, fingers crossed the fixed hold up! Good night, my darlin’! Love you!
