Three Forks, maintenance....

Blowing all day, so not a flying day....

The seams along the bottom of the trailer cover have perished, and starting to flap.
Luckily there's a good saddlery shop in Three forks, and he had a stitching awl and strong thread.
Spend all day  restitching about 12 yards of seam - one stitch at a time....  Push the awl through, pull it back halfway, then scrunch down under the trailer to pass the thread through the loop, pull that stitch tight, then start another stitch.....  Very slow and tedious, and awkward and painful - like an all day session of yoga......  But an excellent result, much stronger than original.  Now just an equal amount yet to do....

Could barely crawl into bed, nursing sore muscles everywhere.....
