Just like last August

I’m waiting for a weather window so I can move on 🙁

Every day since I sprayed the pod and left it hanging outside, we’ve had nothing but rain and more rain. And it’s been very cool as well. Yesterday we had several absolutely torrential downpours and today, would you believe, we have a weather warning her in the South-East because of the risk of prolonged periods of heavy rain and possible local flooding. Not where I live because my house is on the top of a hill, but if it keeps raining the way it is while I’m typing this, home-owners on lower lying land will begin to sweat a bit, I’m sure.

I’m ready to fit the new pod, except I can’t because there are two fuselage tubes that I need to spray paint first, and that’s impossible all the while the weather stays as it is. I have no choice but to do the work in the open at Ken’s and all I need is one nice, warm sunny day like you expect in August and that would be it, but that won’t be today or possibly tomorrow, even. It’s very frustrating and I’m sitting here beginning to stew a bit 😕

One thing that has occurred to me though, is that if I put a clean sheet down on my lounge floor, I could use the time to cut the new screen out. From my experience last time, it won’t take that long to do and at least the time then won’t be totally wasted. Yup, I think I’ll do that …
