Sunny but cold day

9/29/06 Friday
It’s a beautiful but cold day. Was in the mid to high 30’s this morning. There are only a few wisps of cloud in the sky so there is plenty of sun to help warm things up. Yesterday I spent a lot of time getting things I need for the trailer. I was pretty slow most of the day so making basic decisions was difficult. I went to several stores and would walk around looking at things with the hope I will see something I needed. Much of the time was spent just figuring out what to do and how. While at Lowe’s I ran into Nate and Jeremy. It was embarrassing because I don’t like interacting when I am slow and I feel stupid. Nate asked some questions and made a suggestion or two that I can’t remember right now. I wasn’t able to really answer his questions well because I would loose my train of thought with every little distraction. Nate did answer a question I had about how to wire the brakes.

12:37 – Cherie just left to head back to work. She is a bit discombobulated with all the thoughts and emotions that go with this big move. It is hard to believe we leave in about two weeks. I have been working on getting the wheels reinstalled on the trailer. I spent a couple of hours getting a metal ring in good enough shape to hold a seal. It was something that had been made years ago to fix a problem on the axle. Over the years it came loose and rubbed against the bearing causing much damage. I had to carefully file ridges down and then started sanding with 240 grit paper. I worked up to 1000 grit so it should work. Right now I will run to the store and find an adhesive that will hold the ring in place.
