Good morning. We were up early, loaded up the rig and we’re prepared to leave at 8:30. I was cleaning up the dishes and turned on the water just to rinse the sink, and there was no water. Not a drop. When you’re on a well system, there are many things to check.

So, Mark discovered that some sort of relay switch on the well tank went. So, I guess that needs replacing. Anyway, Markymark is home today and we will try and get the well pump guy over there.

Wi-Fi here seems to be iffy, so no pictures could be added. It’s a nice campground, certainly family oriented. We had dinner with Wayne and LaDonna at their place and then sat outside last night with a nice fire. Our site is covered in beautiful live oak trees, well over 100 years old.

Good afternoon sunshine! Today’s been an all-day affair detailing our rig. What a fabulous job these two fellas are doing! The left side had sun exposure and needed heavy compounds to lift the oxidation. Then … wax and buff. It looks awesome. I sure hope they’ll be finished before dark.

It’s just going on 7 o’clock, and the fellas have finished and did a fabulous job. Divine Detailing … and Colby does RV repairs on site. Schweeet. Nice guys!

No, we just have to finish loading up and hope to be on the road at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning. We’ll see, if it’s raining, we will leave a little later.

Good evening. It’s about 15 minutes before seven, and the sun is shining beautifully but it is a hot 87°F. This can only mean one thing at this time of year, another cold front moving in.

We pulled the rig out of the RV port this morning, put the AC on and got it ready for detailing tomorrow. Can you believe we haven’t had it out since November!!! Instead of RVing, we’ve been doing other things, mostly around the house. Now, we are happy to be having a little trip.

Our friend Nancy came over for happy hour today. It was fun, we hadn’t had a chance to catch up with her for a few weeks. She has offered to look after the plants for us when we’re away! Nice. She’s getting our fiberglass bar for her pool area! Tomorrow is delivery day.

It’ll be perfect there!

It’s been a fun day of finishing up the “bar server!”

It’s all together, just the paint has to cure and harden before we loaded up with bottles and glassware. Anyway, you can see that the lights have been added on the cubbies down below, and also one above the “mirror.” We really like it, and think it turned out great. There are four drawers for storage, the two cubbies that are lit and two shelves either side. It’ll be fun to decorate it.

Our next adventure is pulling the rig out after 5 months! Mark has a professional detailer coming Wednesday to hand wax it.

Good evening. We started our day with a trip to Home Depot to pick up a few things we needed for our bar project. Of course we ended up getting a lot more as it’s always the case. We needed some new gutter guards for the front to keep the leaves out of the gutters. This is one less job that Mark hast to do once they are on.

Here’s how we progress today. Mark felt the boxes where the drawers used to be so we can put bottles in there. Now, I have got them coded with Kilz and will paint them the black suede tonight. The new knobs are right, but of course the bolts are not the right size. OMG, another trip to the store. Ha ha.

The top portion is all done and ready for assembly. However, we are not putting a mirror back in there so I am doing a quick painting to fill the space.

We bought quarter inch plywood today, and I coded it twice getting it ready for art painting. The abstract background is done, and now for the main feature, maybe tomorrow.

Well, it started out a nice day. Mark and Bob went to the woods again today and seem to have been fooled by the same turkey. 😂 Bob went to get his trail camera and the turkey walked 15 feet in front of them, alas, no gun.

Me? I put the third coat of paint on our new treasure. Now it has to harden for a couple of days before we put it together. It’s tough waiting, as we’d like to get it done.

Black Suede Behr paint. Pretty, soft black.

This evening, we are going to Kim Bob’s for Bob‘s 60th birthday. He has family flying in, and they have a terrible travel day with storms around us.

Today is 50 years since my Freddie Farkel was born. What a crazy, high-spirited, fun loving ESS was he. I was too inexperienced as a dog mom for that fine fellow. Great memories though. 🐾💕

Kim put on one heck of a birthday for Bob. She had all the family there, including the grandchildren with dinner for all and a beautiful big birthday cake. It was chaos, as is with a huge family. It was great!!!
