…and while it was irritating, the timing was impeccable.
Everything went great all the time we were working yesterday morning. Then, just as we were finishing the cleanup, I felt my leg’s socket get unacceptably loose and tell me the contact cement was letting go on that wedge that fell off a while ago.
I knew that repair was temporary, but had hoped to nurse it along until my prosthetist appointment this coming Thursday. But I didn’t fret, because at least in the interim I had acquired more epoxy and so could make a better repair. So I spent a couple of hours sitting around one-legged until the adhesive had a good chance to cure, and now all is as right as it’s ever been.
Landlady is on her way back to the Big City and I won’t see her again for about four weeks. I have a little finish-up work to do on her solar panel rack and it’s baking day, but other than that I plan to take the day off. Tomorrow is supposed to be more brush hauling but I’m dubious: It’s supposed to get 30 degrees colder and rain/snow, so finishing the paying gig might get pushed back a day or two. The part that had an actual deadline is long done.
It’s amazing that thing has given you such good service. Good on whoever made it.
Yes! Looks like you definitely got your money’s worth out of that leg.
