The color of the day this morning was sky blue, though it hazed up after a while. It looks like we’ll have a few days more of dryness.<\/p>\n
I tackled the job of repairing one of my window shades today, which involves re-threading the strings that control it. After months of preparation I had a decent work space and reserved many hours for the task. It didn’t take all that long, and I think it came out great. It’s one of those things that once you do it, it’s a snap the next time. I bought the repair kit that can be found in RV stores. It’s a handy collection of some necessary parts you’ll need, including a wonderful “needle” for threading string. The included written instructions are atrocious, though, so check YouTube for something understandable.<\/p>\n
