Slow day so far for me. Missed getting the dog walked before the rain started, and currently working on several house projects. I will get out for a short run (or several mini-runs).  It's going to be a wet couple of days and my car issue is that our old subaru seems to have a crack in one of the sunroof drains so it leaks in the trunk area if the car is parked at a slant or it's being driven. On one hand, the leak could be worse and in a more inconvenient spot (ie. a seat), but it's probably not worth fixing since it would require a lot of dismantling. Right now, I have a puppy pee pad in the leak area. More concerned about mold and mildew developing in the roof.

Other issue was our dryer, which broke down last week. Luckily me, google and DH figured it out to be a simple $15 part and it is fixed. It's 17 years old and I want it to go another 17 (or at least 10).  I hate calling the repair man and it's pretty rare that it happens. I can usually diagnose the issue, DH is usually responsible for the repair. That's how marriage works, right?

AT- the floor looks nice. Is it vinyl or laminate? How has weight factored in on materials? I sometimes see RV's or little houses packed with full-house amenities, making me wonder how easy or feasible it is to transport them (if they are actually being moved, even occasionally).

qotd: DS2 has a swim meet tomorrow. DS1 is done with finals today and is coming home (the 6 miles) tomorrow. Maybe some running, including my favorite neighborhood microbrewery is having a Sunday morning fun run. Right before opening.

It's vinyl plank flooring, the kind that locks together.  Temperature swings are big in a Tiny House when it's parked and not in use, so this type of flooring works best since it doesn't contract and expand much.

Weight should be in around 7800 lbs, give or take. Trailer is rated for 12,000, so we'll be way below that, and truck pulls 12,000 as well. We've done some tst rides and it pulls well. Visibility while driving is similar to an RV, and we're adding extendable mirrors to DS's truck so he can see better.

coming along nicely Tim!

strength trained yesterday morning and Tiny E and I hit the trails for 4 miles in the afternoon (the advantages of working part time!

will hit the local trails sometime today; was kind of hoping to hit the Elkhorns again but with skis this time, but forecast is for very strong winds all through the weekend

qotd: my Grizzlies are in the FCS quarter finals playing this evening- away at Weber State- another Big Sky Conference team, we beat them earlier in the season (at home), they are a higher seed (#3) so it's on their true this game.  Montana State ,our cross state rivals, are still in a well and play tonight too.  Theoretically it could be an all Montana championship as they are on the opposite sides of the bracket, but highly unlikely.  Several good teams (like multi-year National Champs ND State and James Madison) still in and looking almost unbeatable.

if the wind subsides, might convince DW to break the skis out over the weekend

As usual...still no run. But...less pain in the knee in general. I am doing nothing in hope that it will heal and not further inflame the muscles supporting the knee. I just found a May 24  50k race in the Upper Peninsula I would like to do.

Sorry I missed a run in last night's full moon. I intended on doing g a 12 month photo book of all each month's full moon from October 2019 to October 2020.  Maybe next year. I hope.

Raining this morning and planning to run after visitor center duties. Hopefully there will be an opening in the rain....at least to make it out the door.

qotd:  Visitor center duties....daily runs and dog walks.  May walk up the martini trail and have dinner and a drink at some point this weekend.  Read and movies.  DH is due back Tuesday.

Nice looking floors Tim...it's really coming along.

 

Had an appt with a spine doc this morning...even though he's a neurosurgeon he did not recommend surgery .  We are going to try a steroid shot in my SI joint as soon as I can get an appt with the pain mgmt. clinic that does them.  He did not say I should stop my ultra's and was very supportive of what I want to do.

 

qotd: I have a 15 miler to get done and then some wrapping to do.

5.5 miles easy

qotd: Will be following Desert Solstice, though I doubt it will match last year for results and drama.  I do know a few of the runners, including one I think AT knows, Laurie Dymond.
