Spent most of the day scrubbing Delores from stem to stern and back again by the southern route.  Everything that doesn’t move got a good cleaning… and even some things that were moving too slowly to get out of the way in time.  Filthy doesn’t even begin to describe interior conditions too long neglected.  Attempted to repair the bedroom window shade that broke last week on one of my “lucky” days.  No joy: the operating mechanism (some very thin string) broke again as soon as I tested the “repaired” shade.  Another item for Pete’s RV to charge a fortune to fix.  Took the Ranger to Junction Auto mid-afternoon so they can repair the 4WD while I’m in Virginia.  Met Perry there, who gave me a ride back to Fern Lake… and suggested some ways that I might correct the warped door problem on the shed.  It sure is nice having a building construction expert in the family!
