Homeward Bound

Well, it’s been a while since you’ve all last heard from us!

                   A respite of sorts, to be sure, but short lived at that!

                   Now it’s back to the keyboard……

In about a week we will be high-tailing it back East for this, our Third Eastern Foray and Escape from the Heat of Texas.

                   Lot’s needs to be done on the motorhome, the most important is the oil change on the diesel motor. Luckily this only needs to be done every 20,000 miles.

                   Yea, that’s a lot longer than your car, but then this baby holds almost four gallons of oil, not four quarts! This reservoir (of sorts) allows for a longer changing cycle. It also allows for a much larger Service Invoice upon completion. I could do some of this myself but there are all sorts of filters, water separators, and other stuff that we feel much more comfortable with a professional poking around down there. They have experienced eyes and can spot an issue way before I ever could!

                    Besides the oil change, we need to have a general emptying out of everything stored below, evaluate its current need/value and the re-assemble it all back where we can find it again. Plus the roof needs cleaning and inspecting and the tires need a close examination, just to name a few items.

                   For those of you that were on the Cruise with us, you will remember the lamentations of our Reupholstery Debacle. The front seats and the dinette seats were taken out before we left and brought to be reupholstered while we were gone. Hopefully to be ready when we came back (four months later!)

                             Hah!

                             Well, that did not happen! We arrived back home to the job just beginning to be done! The story is long and tedious so let’s just say that we finally got them re-installed just a few days ago, just in time to get to the Dump Station and empty the by-now filled Dirty Water Tanks!

                             For the newer folks that started following the blog for the cruise, I am going to start to re-post some of the older posts that are from back in the day. I am being choosy and only selecting ones that are somewhat entertaining, but then, I should let you be the judge of that! It will be like a Greatest Hits compilation, and I will make note of each one’s original post date so there is no confusion! This will help fill in the gap between now and whenever we do something that is actually post worthy!

                             We can’t believe that it will be three years on July 4^th that we have the motorhome! Time (and miles) fly when you’re having fun, and we certainly are!

                             Stay tuned for those “oldies, but goodies” and keep watching the road in front of your house because we do have your address, and you never know when we’ll pop by!
