5:54 a.m. - Yesterday was eventful - church service, grocery shopping at HyVee, give the Eagle a scrub bath, and play chess with Cole. I suppose there isn't much to say about church service nor grocery shopping, but after returning home I decided to use the weather to my benefit and give the Eagle a bath it has been needing for awhile. With the temperatures not bad and cloudy skies, it was a good time to break out the ladder, hose, and other materials needed to scrub the camper down. This was all done by hand - no pressure washer. It's not a difficult job, it's just time consuming. I was up and down the ladder many times to reach the top of the camper with the microfiber scrub pad. Over time, the camper shows signs of oxidation on that cream colored outer shell. These oxidations effects are like little gray/black spots, and they just don't look very good. Plus on the nose of the camper, it gets a lot of bugs splattered, so getting all the bug remnants off the nose helps it look a little nicer. I didn't try to spray any ceramic coating on the camper because I didn't have any to use but more importantly I felt like the wind was too strong to try that out. While it took me a few hours to complete the task, it was a project that was on my my mind for a long time, so finishing it to completion yesterday was a good feeling.
Cole sent me a text asking me what I was doing. I had finished the camper, so I wasn't doing too much and hadn't planned on much other than going down to Shivers where Amber was working and maybe get some ice cream. He suggested meeting there to play some chess, which worked out okay. We just played outside, and it worked out. We played two games, and I was much more successful on the second game, even though I lost that one too. Cole is pretty dang good, so beating him is nearly impossible. Well, for me, it is impossible. Amber and Deanna were pretty busy in the ice cream shop, so we didn't get to talk to her much.
Today will be an interesting day. The first day to school after a prom weekend is generally a pretty sluggish one. The seniors had been talking about a "skip day", so I figure today will be that day. In English III, will complete a journal write and then see what we can get accomplished to continue the Dick Proenneke unit. We are getting close to finishing up the transcendentalists and move on to the novel. Later today, I'm umpiring with Jason at Sherrard. The Tigers are taking on United Township, and that might be a pretty good game. I have the next two nights open, so I might be able to get to some yard work if that dang wind will let up. I'd really like to spray some weeds and maybe try to spray my yard with some herbicide to get rid of the creeping charlie, but I need some dry weather.
