We had a couple cool rainy days in the end of January with
temps in the 50’s. brrrrr. Millie and I hunkered down and didn’t do much of
anything other than our routine activities around the campground. Millie does
her tread mill running every morning and I even did a little weight training at
the campground exercise room. We rode bikes between the rain drops and walked
the dogs several times a day.
I worked on a couple projects in the motorhome, one planned
and one water leak. I had salvaged a small safe from our old motorhome and
secured it inside a cabinet. Now anyone who’s ever owned an RV knows they’re
pretty much held together with glue and staples. That might be a little bit of
an exaggeration, but not by much. After the first installation the safe didn’t
feel secure so we went to Lowes and bought a selection of anchors and toggle
bolts. The safe is now connected thru a side, the back and the bottom. I’m sure
if the motorhome is ever picked up in a twister and dropped into Kansas that little
corner with the safe attached will still be intact.
The water leak is coming from the skylight over the shower;
we’ve made a temporary patch until we can get a replacement for the outer dome
which has several cracks in it. Thirteen years of sun has taken its toll on the
plastic. It will be an easy repair once I get the new part.
On Saturday Wayne and I drove over to Old Town
for the Classic Car Cruise. Several of the cars were for sale with prices as
much as $85,000. I told Wayne
it would be smart to sell a car like that soon, as the prices will drop once
the baby boomers move on to some other interest. Several of the hot rods had
compact coil spring front suspensions that Wayne informed me was from a Mustang 2.
Probably one of the better uses for that particular model, IMHO.
Our 14 day stay at Orlando
ended on Sunday and we moved about 60 miles south to the Peace River Thousand
Trails campground. We have a wonderful site right on the River. Millie said we
may start getting hate mail if I tell you this, but sitting in the shade of a
palm tree by the river in 80 degree weather on the 2nd day of
February is what dreams are made of.
