It is done!

Tuesday

Not much to report , I walked, just Don and I today, both Vera and Pam were not feeling well.  I worked on a plane I am setting up for night flying, but before I knew it, it was time to head for my eye appointment.  Of course, they ended up dilating my eyes, so that put a damper on any kind of precision work for the rest of the day.  Afterwards, we ate lunch at Skipper's, stopped at Home Depot for the last two Envirotiles I needed and headed home via the West Side Hwy., a much cooler way home.  We picked one of the blueberry bushes tonight and I had a blueberry milkshake for my treat this evening, Yum!

Vera had bible study and a birthday lunch today.  I paid a couple of bills online and then about 10 UPS showed up with my Ultracote for making the markings on the Bronco.  I cut it to size and got the Stika cutter set up.  Ultracote has changed because it does not work well in the cutter now.  I checked the tracking and the vinyl I had ordered at the same time was available for pickup at the post office.  I made a quick run down for it, then cut the first sheet to size for the cutter and had lots better luck with it.  The vinyl has a permanent adhesive so it should work fine on the planes.  After making a couple of adjustments in the program I got the new batch of markings cut out and installed.  It doesn't look quite as plain now.
 When I got the watering done this afternoon, the motor home was shading the shop porch, so I decided to level and install the Envirotile I picked up yesterday.  I worked up a good sweat, that ground is sure hard for all the years of driving on it.  I got them pretty close to level, but I am going to wait and do a little more after things settle and before putting the clips on.
Vera was out taking pictures of some flowers today, this Moss
Rose must really like where she put it because it has at least doubled in size and has all kinds of blooms.
