Hot and humid in Houston today, but I’m hoping for a bit cooler at the BOL. At least there should be a breeze off the lake. It was hot, over 100F, and humid yesterday, with clear sky to start, scattered clouds and even overcast later, but it was clear again by dusk. It even sprinkled ever so lightly for about 15 minutes in the late afternoon. That didn’t help the humidity.<\/p>\n
I did not do much in the morning, preferring to nap and try to get my sleep cycle back to school schedule. As it’s almost 1am when I’m writing this, I’m not going to be super successful. I did get a bunch of small things done in the afternoon. I spent a couple of hours cleaning my project up. It still needs work, but I’ll leave it at the BOL and finish up there. <\/p>\n
I had cleaning stuff out, and the truck was in the shade so I washed the Ranger too. Well, that’s maybe an exaggeration. I used water and a red scotch pad to do a very crude ‘clay bar’ of the body, and wheels but not the bed. I’m swapping out the bed, so didn’t bother. The paint on the truck is a little dull, but if I get time and motivation, I’ll buff it later. The roof is not in good shape as the clear coat seems to have failed, and there are big spots that look similar on the hood as well. It is 23 years old, lived outside the entire time, and I don’t wash my vehicles very often.<\/p>\n
At least it’s not a GM with the paint peeling off to reveal the galvanizing underneath. They all seem to fail that way anywhere near the ocean.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I’ll hit Lowes for some trim, mainly window casing, and then do my pickup before 2pm. That’s my hard limit on when I leave, I have to be in Tomball by then. I’ll continue on to the BOL where a big list awaits… although I’m mainly concerned with mowing and doing more finish work on the window install.<\/p>\n
The list gets longer, and I get older, and I still find myself getting distracted by sidequests.<\/p>\n
Stack, and stay the course.
