Starting to GET READY

I have washed the Motor home.  and waxed the front.  I will also put a wax on the roof to try and prevent the white streaking from water run off.(that might just wait)

I have refinished  our name plate:

Many folk remember us because of the Ships wheel.  The first one I had, was bought in Vermont at a thrift store. It was actually a ships wheel wine rack, so I actually got two ships wheels for the price of one.  Those did not last long because they were not really ships wheels, this one is a real ships wheel. Since U.S. Navy is on our front tag, it fits. 

I read about you  guys  changing your summer clothes for winter clothes in the closet, we have never done that, we did not have that many clothes. hahaha. Especially true in the motor home, we each have one or two things for cooler weather, most of our clothes fit our life style. In  the spring we leave the south and follow Spring north. In the Fall we retreat south as the temps drop.

Neither of us require a lot of clothes, Shucks my dress shoes are out of style and old (25yrs). My life is dungarees  and T-shirts. I have Sunday-go-to-meeting khaki and a long sleeve shirt of two. I tried to wear shorts when we first retired, but I am just not a ‘shorts’ kind of guy.  Shorts would make the laundry less work, but………

I would change the oil now, but this monster takes 16-20 quarts. Where most dip sticks show a quart low mark, this one shows a 4qt low mark.

I still need to fix the John Deere, start the Yanmar tractor and move it to add water and air to the tires. I imagine Bill up in the north woods uses pure anti freeze in his tractor tires. I need to roof a shed.

Amazing how, even with all the work, I still have a lot of work to squeeze in, in the next few days.

Thanks for stopping by.

PS:

Time waits on NO ONE, and some of this stuff might have to wait ‘til another time!
