More nuptials in our future.....

 7:47 am - Wednesday - January 21st - TWW - 22° F, humidity 27%, cloud cover 73%, wind 4 mph out of the south by southeast......partly cloudy today with a forecast high of 56° F.  The view this morning.....

....and on this date in 2019 TLE and I were in Amarillo, TX.....

.....watching a spectacular sunrise.  We were on our way to Flagstaff, AZ where I would undergo two surgeries to remove cysts.

Charles and Phyllis called Monday night to let us know they would be arriving Tuesday afternoon for a two day stay.  We weren't expecting them for another week as they had just returned from an unplanned 2,100 mile road trip to Dallas, TX (2,100 round trip.....22 hours of driving each way).  Personally, I would have been in a coma after that, but they are made of something tougher than I....lol.  

We essentially followed our normal morning routine staying indoors until around 11 am when we got dressed to do some work.  My task this day was to permanently install the rubber water barrier at the base of each garage door, and seal everything so there is no more water ingress during and after rain/snow storms.  Every time it rains, which is not often here, the front of the garage gets flooded, and then takes a week to dry out.  I spent time cleaning the area where the rubber gasket would be installed, then fitting and cutting two lengths, one for each garage door.  Once that was done I laid down the adhesive, then put the water barriers in place.....

.....only time will tell if this water barrier will be adequate.....I believe it will.  While I was waiting for the concrete to get warm enough to apply the adhesive I spent time straightening out the metal on the northwest corner of the garage....

....using metal dollies to take the wrinkles out of the sheet metal (see above picture) where I assume a vehicle of some sort struck the corer causing the damage.  The metal trim piece which runs from the roof line down to the ground had been lying on the ground next to the garage since we arrived last winter.  I've been meaning to fix this since then, but there was always something more pressing.....

The beige meal trim in circled in red above

....once the sheet metal was mostly straight again I reattached the beige metal trim, and now it passes the 10 foot test.

While I was dong that TLE was working in the greenhouse to get the raised growing beds ready to receive the plants we've been growing in small pots in there the past month (cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower).

Charles and Phyllis arrived between 2:30 and 3 pm, and by 4 pm we were sitting down to a dinner of waffles and scrambled eggs.  While we ate they regaled us on their trip to Texas, and all of their adventures.  After hearing everything about their I was even more sure I would have been in a near vegetative state instead of here at TWW.  By the way, Charles and Phyllis announced they are getting married again on February 1st.  It's been 3, or 4 years since they began seeing each other again after being divorced for 40 years.  We are so excited, and we'll be driving down to Phoenix for the nuptials!

Thanks for stopping by!
