Sort of a
lost week.
Not much got
done this week. Just a few odd jobs around the yard and house and a few more in
the RV. I did scrub the shower and sinks and dump the tanks last Sunday and
vacuumed then vacuumed the floor.
During the
week I replaced the stove vent on the outside of the RV. The old one was
yellowed and partially broken. I had picked up a new one in Quartzsite for
$7.95. Before installing it I painted it white with plastic paint which comes
in a spray can. I also had to replace all the old caulking which required some ingenuity
on my part. I had caulking but it was old and in lumps. I put it out in the sun
for a while to soften it then rolled it out into long rolls like Play Dough. I
need it to be thin strips so I flattened the rolls with a wine bottle to the
required thickness then cut narrow strips with a knife. This worked well. After
installing the vent I caulked around it so no water can penetrate the wall.
I also moved
some of our larger ice chests from the garage to shelves in the outside shed to
make room for a few more items in the garage. I am trying to get all our food preparation
equipment (which is seldom used) in one place.
Today I
finally tackled the problem of excess computers. I removed the hard drives from
my old XP machine which has just been sitting there for 2 years or more in preparation
for taking it to the recycler. I am hanging on to my old Dell XP laptop for the
foreseeable future as I use it to run my slide copier. I also got rid of some
extra card board boxes I have been hanging on to.
Not a biggy
but progress never the less.
