Kid has an outdoor event so hopefully today will be like the rest of the week. Mild, sunny, and warm in the afternoon. That pretty much sums up the last several days. Still, it’s Houston so the cool is a damp cool and the hot is sweaty.
I did get some things done yesterday. Did my pickup. Made a run through Costco for school lunch snacks, Holloween candy, and some lunch meat snacks for me. Did some work on the cart. Heat is good for shaping the plastic sheet I’m using to replace the burnt up bodywork, but it’s some sort of slick thermoplastic not the PVC foam based sheet I thought it was. It will not glue with plumbing solvent. That means it’s not ABS or PVC. I’ll have to use a different glue or maybe mechanical fasteners, or maybe both. The Sikaflex panel adhesive I ordered SHOULD stick to it, and the plastic the cart body is made of. I’ll find out today if I’m lucky or not.
Plan for today is get up early and drive west to Fulshear for a pickup. It’s stuff for my hobby sale and for the BOL. Then drive two hours east to the other side of Houston for the kid’s event. If they do well, they are stuck there until midnight or 1am. Home around 2am at the latest. That’s a long day for the kids with about 14 hours of sitting around waiting. I almost wish they wouldn’t do well so they could be home around 7 or 8pm.
I’ll be coming home after the first thing, as I’d rather drive hours than sit for 6 and THEN find out I need to drive home anyway. It’s all to make it easier for the district, it really should be two separate days.
In between, I’ll try to do some more decorating, or work on the cart, or work at the shop.
Just keep swimming.
And stacking.
