Up on the roof

greatbearGorgeous day today. I decided to make the best of it doing stuff outside. I climbed up on the trailer roof and installed the two Maxx-Air vent covers I had picked up last weekend. Now I can leave the two roof vent/fans open and not worry about the rain getting in. The latter was sometimes a bit of a humorous occurrence when it would rain in the middle of the night while the fan was running, since one of the vents sits above the foot of the bed. The rain would hit the spinning blades, misting us with water. This will no longer happen, and another bonus is the vents can be left open while towing, and the resulting airflow will keep the trailer much cooler for when we arrive wherever it is we are going. I have to replace the water pump and do some other minor fix-ups to get ready for the camping season. Plus it gets a serious scrubbing.
When Jeff got home from work we went for our weekly grocery haul. The cashier, in no urgency to check people out or bag their goods kept asking people about what they were doing for Mother's Day, including Jeff. Uh oh. Since I was also in line with a separate batch of groceries for Jeff's work to be billed separately, I was hoping against hope that she would not ask me. Luckily, she didn't. However, the gears were already set in motion, by the time I got home and unpacked everything, I lost it. I was trying so hard to get through the day unscathed, but it was not to be. My momentum for doing things and having fun with it all had come to a screeching halt, so I plodded through the rest of the day, taking a long nap after dinner.
Oh, well. I think I've improved over the past couple years. I will always miss my Mom dearly, however. Nothing will ever change that. Nor would I ever want to.
This will be a busy week by the looks of things. Jeff has lots of time to put in at work as he deals with state inspections and the loss of an employee. I hope to get some car work in during the evenings, as well as needed yard work. I have to rework my old lathe before I give it to Jeff's dad next weekend. If all goes well, I'll be making another trip up to the Grizzly Machinery store. My credit card will be shaking and cowering in my wallet for sure.
Hope everyone had a great weekend.
