Sunday, October 24, 2021 – More Work, Finally Made Myself Stop

Hi Sweetie,
Slept soundly, though I did fret a bit about the problem I’m having with the front cap on the trailer, but after chores and breakfast, I took another look at it, and decided the best and thankfully easiest route would be to put a bead of sealant along the edge and then use Gorilla tape to hold it in place while it’s drying, then after I get down to Florida, put another layer on, and hopefully that will do it. So that’s what I did, and it seemed to work okay. I’ll have a better idea how well once I make the 250 mile journey, see how it holds up. Anyway, I got that job done, spent some time cleaning the front cap since it had so many streaks in it from all the different things I tried using to get the hold adhesive off. I started doing laundry first thing, since I suddenly remembered that my plan had been to do all the extra things that I only do occasionally, like the mattress cover and all the blankets, plus all the rags I’ve been using, so I was doing laundry nonstop all day. Then I remember I still had to do the seam on the awning where it meets the hard cover, it tends to drip whenever it rains, and I’ve been meaning to do that for awhile. On the way down from the roof, I got a tube of red tack grease out of the oil change box and cleaned and lubricated the hitch, which I’ve also been meaning to do for a few weeks, plus rubbed some on the jack stanchions, as they’ve been squeaking a little bit. I put a few things away as well, though not as much as I usually too, just too tired. When I finally sat down in my chair outside, I practically fell asleep! Just stopping made my body want to shut down. So I read for a bit, grilled a brat, then later put that and Lola’s ball machine away. Tami came by and gave me almost a full bale of hay, so now I have a couple of extra. Good thing there’s no rain in the forecast, fingers crossed! Tami came by again in the evening and we chatted again for awhile, enjoying her company, but finally had to kick her out just after 9:00 because I still had some things to do and I wanted to get to bed fairly early. Just put my last load in the dryer (after 9:30), so I’m heading out for my shower once the water heats up and I finish my tea, then off to bed, with fortunately, I made earlier so I can slip right in! So I’ll say good night, my darling! Love you!
