Day 146.....Wednesday, May 27

We took my truck into town this morning - I was getting my nails done, Jim was to pick up a panel for Andrew's new dog pen. We brought the flatbed trailer with us to carry the dog pen with us. While driving down the gravel road, rock ricocheted off the trailer and hit the back window of the truck, breaking it. We did not notice the damage until after Jim dropped me at Mel's shop.

Not a nice way for Jim to start the day.





This photo is taken later in the day, AFTER Jim pulled all the shattered glass off, took the opportunity to fix the back doors (which wouldn't open) and covered the large opening with a couple garbage bags.


Besides picking up the panel and getting my nails done, we had another mission ........ to take Vinjelu out for lunch to celebrate his birthday.

Jim spent the afternoon working on the truck - since there was no longer a window, he could now get to the door handle that you normally cannot get to without opening the window. This enabled him to undo what he did to the back doors last fall - in an attempt to make the doors tighter and keep the dust out, he tightened them so much they could not be opened! He was able today to undo that 'fix'.

We went to watch Emma play soccer tonight and Mike and Victoria and Kaden stopped by the field for a short time - they had a meeting in Wetaskiwin that night.
