Paint My Mailbox Blue

 


Mine's going to be white and I'm already living in the country, but that's the sentiment anyway.



I got the prime coat on it yesterday. The coverage is a little thin but I didn't want to buy another can of white primer. Maybe start on the bracket to fasten it to the post today. Everything is weather dependent. Yesterday was only 72 degrees, so I took advantage of it and got outside and did some work on the "estate".


I bought myself a cheapy aluminum adjustable wrench to keep in the saddle bag on the touring bike. The moveable jaw is reversible and it opens up wide. Obviously, it's not the kind of tool that you can hammer on or put a cheater bar on. It's fairly obvious where the handle would break if it was abused, It was less than $8.00, so you can't expect great quality, but it might get me out of a jam if I have a breakdown while out on the road.
