Day 1567

I woke up at 8:30 and played games until 9:30.  Then it was pet stuff and breakfast.  We both surfed for awhile and then Ellen went to the Range.  I continued to surf until I felt guilty for not doing anything.  There wsn't much motivation because it rained all day.

I went out to the garage to finish up the trailer trim strip.  The color was OK.  It took a little time though to do the final fitting.  I used the hand sander to get things to fit well.  Then I clamped it in place.  I started the air compressor in the garage and used the time while it pumped up to clean up some and put away stuff in the trailer that I wouldn't need anymore.

When I went back to the garage the compressor only had 25 psi in it.  The motor sounded funny so I unplugged it and plugged in a different socket.  It wouldn't turn on at all.  The instructions said it had an overheat shutoff and to wait 20 minutes.  So I sat in the garage surfing for 20 minutes.  When I tried again the motor started, but the pressure didn't go up.  OK, trashed compressor.

I went into the house and looked at compressors.  ACE had one I liked.  Ellen came home and we left for ACE.  I bought the compressor there and took Lucy to Tomlinson's.  We stopped at Torchy's for lunch.

When I got home I unpacked and set up the new compressor.  I filled it up and took it to the trailer.  It only took a minute to nail the trim in place.  Ellen filled in the holes I made putting the vertical pieces in.  The final result looks pretty good.

All in all nailing the trim in took about 3 hours.  I put everything away and took the old compressor out to the garbage.  The good news is that the trailer work is done except for the cabinet doors.

The rest of the afternoon was surfing and games.  Dinner was a TV dinner.  After dinner was TV, games, and some surfing.
