Pete and Kelli’s social distance day 27
10th April 2020
We were rushing to finish the dresser and deliver it to the next street over. We lived so close that we could throw a stone and hit their roof. With a customer living that close we were desperate to make a good impression for the second time.
I needed to pick up more stuff at lowes, including a large sheet of plywood.
We waited by the outside collection point for the staff member to wheel it out.
With a little effort I squeezed it into the truck and bungeed the back door shut.
There was a bit of work left to do on the dresser and side tables that were to be collected tomorrow. It feels like I’ve working on them for ages, and it turned out that I had.
I fitted new belts to an old cassette tape machine that I had bought on eBay. I bought it cheap as a non runner, but I knew what it needed to get it working again. It was pure nostalgia buying it, as I had an identical one in the nineteen eighties.
I may be sub-consciously trying to re-create the same equipment at that time, I will also be looking for wine coloured corded flares to go with them.
As we had no wine left, and our deliver was not due until tomorrow, we had to substitute a slice of cheesecake to play our penalty game.
It was not the same.
Another Lifetime to go
