  While I've been busy with a bunch of other things--getting the garden spot fenced in and ready to plant, doing some household chores, and taking advantage of some ministry opportunities, I haven't quit on the Frolic project. I promise I'll do a post with a bunch of pictures and/or a video before too long, but I have been making some progress.  I accomplished a very nasty and unpleasant task. I had scaled and painted the roadside wheel well some time ago. Over the past week or so, I got serious and crawled under the trailer and went over all the metal--frame, axle, and the other wheel well with a wire brush on my side-grinder, then gave everything that hadn't been painted a new coat of paint. I got the new brake mounted on the curbside spindle and bolted on the new--not obsolete--wheel. Along the way I routed new wiring--in new plastic conduit--and did some other repair and patching. I shined up the old wheel well trim and installed it on the curbside. I'm much bet...
