This afternoon, I went out to VR Expert to check up on Miranda. No work has been done. One of the techs is sick and vacationers waiting for their RVs have top priority. They are hoping to start Tuesday. I don’t feel angry so much as defeated and homesick.

There is one bit of ‘progress’ in that rather than coming back to me with a price on having the front over cab window removed, they decided to go ahead with the project and order a piece of fiberglass to cover the hole. I cannot wait for that window to be gone and I am probably going to use something I rescued from my old toad to make the newly acquired wall space more functional.

When I do get Miranda back, I won’t be able to move back in fully since I will have interior work to do on the loft. As long as they don’t mess the space up too badly, I should be able to insulate, panel, prime, and paint in a couple of days.

Speaking of paint, I stopped at Canadian Tire after to pick up some automotive primer and flat black spray paint. This weekend, my mother and I are going to figure out the best way to get the vinyl off the topper trim on the truck. I will then sand the aluminum, prime it, and paint it. After this, Moya is going to look really good even with the few rust spots I need to deal with.

This photo from the dealer clearly shows how the vinyl covering the aluminum trim is peeling and making my toad look less than lovely:

I find driving my truck in Quebec is harder than it was out west. It feels like roads in the west where most folks have trucks are built and proportioned for larger vehicles. Here, I feel like I am driving a behemoth! I know I will get use to Moya and that she isn’t that big. If I don’t have any transcription next weekend, I’m hoping to take her out for a few days of camping so I can remind myself of why I bought my lovely green beast. 🙂
