Yep......by last night I was just toooooo damned exhausted to make my fingers "do the talkin' "!!!! Sooooo, I just became a veggie and watched some tellie.........shit! Am I getting OLD????? er? This last statement just makes me think that I must be.
I worked on the RV "rubber" roof, which is not rubber at all, but a composite material that lasts longer than rubber IF treated properly each year. Well.......that took longer than I anticipated and then the storm clouds moved in and I didn't get it finished, OR looking like I wanted it to look!!! I had worked and scrubbed and brushed and cleaned my ass off as I crawled around on all fours spreading my hulking weight carefully.....AND.....seemingly more balanced on all fours than on twos! The damned roof slopes downwards towards the front AND the rear of the RV from about 1/3 of the way back from the front cap of the RV.........and when it gets wet, well........it is not the safest place to be walking around. And....you sure as hell can't scrub it without it getting wet, can you?
Last night? Well, the 1st Lady had gone to Cape for two days, leaving yesterday morning, to work on painting some of the rooms in the house our daughter-in-law (Becky) just purchased. She and Rachel will be moving in in a couple of weeks....or less.....and it would be nice if it was all clean, painted, etc., etc. before the furniture starts getting set up. Soooo, I was alone last night as I watched the "show of the night"......"American Idol"!!!
My pick for the final two???? Jordin and Melinda......and I hope my picks are correct.......will find out within the next two hours!!!
Today?? Ahhhhh, another day working on the RV.......a day of washing it by hand and a long brush....and THEN: the task of waxing it! The washing only took three hours....minus the windows.......and then after a quick bite of lunch, the waxing began. Not wanting to wax it in the bright, crispy cool sunlight today, I only did the left side which was not in the sun....and then the front end, after the sun moved into the western sky. TheHowserHouse sits in the driveway and faces the East........can't decide if it is an early Christian or a Muslim. The early Christians always faced the east...at least their churches were built so the people faced the east when worshiping and we all know the Muslims face the east when praying........so one way or the other, TheHowserHouse faces the east while resting in the driveway. Enough religious history.......
I have always had to climb my 7 foot ladder and then struggle to reach towards the top of the front cap of the RV......and DUH!!!!!!! Again......DUH!!!!!! I all of sudden after three years of owning this home-on-wheels......I finally "saw the light"!!!! Why in the hell didn't I think of this before???? All I have to do is to lower the RV at the front end.....as far as it will go down....and VOILA!!!!!! I can now reach the top of the cap while on the ladder!!!!! Where I have been for three years each time I washed/waxed the RV????????????????????? (Aging mind?????)
I am ready to "get the Hell out of F'town" as soon as possible. Yep.....it has been six weeks since we arrived home.....and I am just itching to hit the road and see what is around the bend, or over the hill!!!!! The more I work on TheHowserHouse.......the more I am ready to GO!!!!! I just know, though, that we will not be gone nearly as long as I would like to be gone. UGH!!!! I do have remaining obligations in Eldon to continue to get my mother's estate settled as quickly as possible, soooooooooooo.....we will backing into the driveway(and facing East) much quickly than I would really like to be doing. Oh well......such is Life.....right???
CRAP!!! Looks like Melinda didn't get enough votes, but I am more than certain that she will not have to worry about a career!!!!! She is incredible......absolutely wonderful!!!
And so.......my arms and shoulders are soooooo screaming out in pain from all of the washing and waxing today......that I am going to bring this little evening discussion to a close. Nevertheless....
Life IS Great.....and I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!
