I Miss Mayberry, Sittin' on the Front Porch Drinkin' Ice Cold Cherry Coke.

So I put my skills of wonderment into use today.

I think that I have a certain expertise when it comes to making useful items out of useless crap. Nick and I have been having issues with our Aero-Bed the past few times we have used it, and last night was sort of the end all for me. I can't find the puncture to save my life, but when I am rolling off the bed and landing easily on the floor with little effort, I know there is something beyond wrong.

So I flipped it over to find it's wound... nothing that I could feel or see.

So I pulled out one of our old ones. Now the one I pulled has a HUGE punture that I could see, it is the equivalent size as a large carpentry nail. I am not a brain surgeon by any means, but I can put two and two together and realize it is basically mendless and since the patch I had put on it was already useless from wear, it would soon be time to toss it.

However, I had an idea, and I am not sure why this came up, but there is a handy item that Nick's uncle has around the house called "Gorilla Glue" It expands to the size of the hole in which you put it, so I thought, why not use it and see if it works! My hopes were dashed though, when I found out that it was no longer to be found in the place I had thought that it would be. I decided that I would attempt to use the "nail glue" that I saw on the counter... I have used it many times, and it ensures a nice solid seal, so for the time being it might help.

Well witht he use of three patches that came with the matress, and tons of glue, I mended the bed. I inflated it, and sure enough it created a great seal! Now we haven't tested it out for a whole night, but I think Ms. Fixit has done a good job!! I am really hoping that this will last us the next four months. Regardless of where we end up after that, we will be out of here, and in a real bed. I am excited!!

Now on to mending the next bed... but first I must find the hole!
