Interim Report

For those of you clamoring for more Tales of Adventure,

          Here they are…..

          But….. not yet!

          We are safely ensconced in our Durango Parking Site for the next few weeks before we begin the actual Eastward Summer Migration.

          In reality, I’m here and Paula was called back to Vermont where her sister-in-law, Janet, is on Hospice. We left Texas last week and found out that Paula was needed in Vermont while we were in route. We cut short our planned itinerary and arrived in Durango a day ahead of schedule. She left here the next day bound for Newark.

          In the meantime, I am endeavoring to keep busy with tasks large and small, both on the motorhome and helping out Lorelyn and Travis around TomBoy Farm.

          I replaced the “House” water pump which supplies the water for the sinks, showers, etc. in the motorhome. The previous one was making a bit too much noise and rather that have it fizz out somewhere inconvenient, I elected to replace it now and keep the old on as a back-up if ever needed.  I also replaced the big 24”x12” wooden “pads” that our hydraulic jacks rest on when we are parked. These puppies come in handy when the ground may not be quite firm enough to support our 26,000 pounds or when we park in a parking lot or driveway in the summer and the asphalt is hot. It is considered bad manners to leave big “dinner plate” sized divots in your hosts driveway!

          I’ve included two photos of what a typical “End-of-Day-Windshield” looks like. Since Spring has sprung and the bugs abound, unfortunately our view forward rapidly evolves into a daily viewing that only a masochistic entomologist could enjoy.

          So far, the only job that I’ve been asked to do is put a coat of wood preservative on Lorelyn and Travis’s new garage doors that are on their yet to be finished Garage/Workshop/Upstairs Apartment building that will be an awesome addition to TomBoy Farm.

          Thanks for checking in, and as soon as there is something that I consider “Writeable” I will get it out to you!
