Tuesday, August 10, 2021 – Fixed Three Windows

Hi Babe!
Tried to sleep without earplugs last night, but the rain woke my up in the middle of the night, naturally the bedroom window leaked again, but had a towel handy to dry it up. First thing after chores I started calling around for the ribbon seal that I needed, and none of the auto parts chains had it, but I finally found it at a local parts store just a few miles away, and they happen to be right next to a True Value where I was able to get the denatured alcohol I needed as well. My order from JC Penney also came in, and I picked that up as well. That was strange because the parking lot was FULL of Canadian geese! I guess that might be normal around here, but it was fun to see anyway. Then I went and picked up Dan, he offered to help with the main window, and I needed an extra hand, though it was a bit out of the way. Got back and got to work, took us about two hours to get the whole job done, fortunately we didn’t have any real problems. Took a bit more to get off all the sealant I’ve been spreading onto it, but it eventually came off. Fingers crossed it work this time! Then I took Dan to lunch as a thank you and got him home, then when I got back, I remembered another window problem I was having. You remember on the dinette window, the handle on the edge with the lock on it came off? Well, I haven’t really done anything about it, and then the window behind the recliners did the same thing to me yesterday, so I got online to see what suggestions there were, and the one I tried was using a board and a rubber mallet to tap it back on. That seemed to work, at least for now. It was suggested that I could use some glue, and if these come off again, I’ll do that. Meanwhile, that makes three window repairs today, so I guess you could call it a productive day! Did a few more French lessons and settled down for the evening. It was quite hot and humid today, and it’s supposed to be like that for a couple more days before it cools down. It’s supposed to rain off and on tonight and tomorrow, so I guess we’ll see if our window fix really did the trick! Sitting outside cooling off again, I ran the AC for a bit, didn’t do a thing against the heat out in this wide open park. Looking forward to getting in some shade next week. Anyway, time for my shower and bed! Good night, darlin’! Love you!
