cellioShabbat was low-key, which was a nice change after the road trip the previous weekend.
Sunday we went up to Cooper's Lake to deal with flat tires on the house trailer. (In theory we were also going to deal with hornets, but we didn't.) The house had sunk down a lot since last fall; this fall we will have to jack it up well beyond what we think will be needed. We ended up removing the two flat tires, as they had popped off the rims so we couldn't just reinflate. We have two spares (or will tomorrow; the place I ordered from accidetally shorted me one and promises a replacement ASAP), so this is a problem we can solve after Pennsic. Just as well; it turns out that most places that repair tires aren't set up for trailer tires. Different equipment, apparently.
Sunday we noticed that someone apparently hit a corner of our house, probably with another trailer. (The scraped paint goes fairly high.) Whoever it was scuffed up my fresh paint job and broke off one of my fake stones. Sigh. I'll fix it after Pennsic.
We got the results of our property-tax appeal. They lowered our assessment slightly, but not nearly as much as they should have. They knocked off half or a third of the cost of the central air they mistakingly thought we had, and near as I can tell they did not consider our comparable sales at all. Grr.
Tonight is D&D, where maybe I'll blow things up and feel better. :-)
