AWNING WASHING

WRITTEN BY REX

CROSS AWNING WASHING OFF THE LIST!! ACTUALLY THIS ISN'T NEAR THE JOB IT USED TO BE. YEARS AGO WHEN WE WENT TO THE MIDWEST FOR THE SUMMER WE HAD THE AWNING STAKED OUT ALL SUMMER AND CLEANING IT ONCE WE GOT BACK HERE WAS A TUFF CHORE. THIS YEAR WE HAD IT OUT AT BRODHEAD, AND STAKED OUT A MONTH IN LA CROSSE AND IT WASN'T NEAR AS DIRTY. HERE IN THE WEST WE DON'T HAVE THE AWNING STAKED OUT ALL THE TIME BECAUSE OF THE WIND, WE JUST PULL IT OUT WHEN WE NEED IT, WHICH ISN'T VERY OFTEN CAUSE THE TRAILER FACES NORTH AND WE HAVE PLENTY OF SHADE IN THE AFTERNOONS WITHOUT THE AWNING. AT LAKE TAHOE WE DO THE SAME, ONLY THERE IT ISN'T WIND IT'S THE PINE SAP FROM THOSE HUGH PONDEROSA PINES THAT WE CAMP UNDER FOR THE SUMMER.

SO THE "TO DO LIST" IS GETTING SHORTER, WAX THE TRUCK, WAX THE TRAILER, AND TAKE THE TRUCK INTO FORD FOR THE 60,000 MILE MAINTENANCE IS ALL THAT'S LEFT. THEN IT WILL BE SUMMER AND NO LIST!!!

WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO A COLD SNAP BEGINNING TUESDAY WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS TO DROP DOWN TO 79 DEGREES.


NOW WE'RE OFF TO HOOCH'S FOR OUR MONDAY .50 CENT TACOS AND BEER & WHISKEY.
