SETTLING IN AT THE LAKE

OUR FIRST DAY OFF AT LAKE TAHOE, AND TIME TO SETTLE IN. FOR SOME REASON MARY DECIDED THE TOILET NEEDED A GOOD CLEANING, AND AS LONG AS I WAS GOING TO STRING OUT A COUPLE OF HOSES TO WASH THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAMPER I BROUGHT THE HOSE IN AND ATTACHED THE TOILET WAND FOR HER TO USE. THE BOTTOM OF THE WAND HAS FOUR SMALL HOLES AT THE FOUR POINTS OF THE COMPASS. BECAUSE THE HOLES ARE SMALL IT DEVELOPS A LOT OF PRESSURE FOR CLEANING THE TOILET, THE PIPE DOWN TO THE TANK, AND THE INSIDE OF THE TANK ITSELF. A VERY HANDY CAMPERS TOOL.

Is he nuts??? This job sucks...and what happened to the "you don't have to do anything you don't want to" statement. I GUESS the honeymoon is over!!! But for the record "I HATE SEWER STUFF"!!

NEXT WHILE MARY WORKED ON FOUR LOADS OF LAUNDRY, I SCRUBBED THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAMPER. NOT A BAD JOB SINCE AN OLD TRUCK DRIVER FRIEND OF MINE, QUINTIN, TURNED ME ON TO THIS LONG HANDLED SOFT BRISTLED BRUSH FOR WASHING SEMI-TRUCKS.

Doesn't Rex look cute??? I like to see him someplace other than in front of the computer!!

AS LONG AS THE WASHING STUFF IS OUT, MIGHT AS WELL WATCH MARY SCRUB OFF THE HONDA. I MIGHT ADD THAT NONE OF THIS SCRUBBING WOULD HAVE BEEN NECESSARY IF WE HADN'T DRIVEN IN A SNOW STORM LAST WEEK !!!

BREAK TIME !!!

THIS IS OUR HANG OUT DURING THE SUMMER AT SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, CALIFORNIA. THE KEY WORD IN THAT LAST SENTENCE IS "CALIFORNIA". IT'S AGAINST THE LAW IN CALIFORNIA TO SMOKE INDOORS, SO THE BARS HAVE OUTDOOR PATIOS FOR THE SMOKERS. BROTHER'S IS A BIKER'S BAR, SO THE CAST OF CHARACTERS IS ALWAYS INTERESTING.

NOT TOO BAD ON A WARM JUNE DAY, BUT WHAT ABOUT THOSE COLD JANUARY NIGHTS? (NOT MY PROBLEM, I'LL BE AT HOOCH'S IN GOLDEN SHORES, ARIZONA IN JANUARY, SMOKING AND DRINKING ON THEIR OUTDOOR PATIO).

And the box keeps shrinking for smokers....

BACK TO WORK, AND TIME TO GET THE PATIO STUFF OUT OF THE BACK OF THE TRUCK AND SET UP THE OUTDOOR PATIO FOR SUMMER. WE ARE STILL ENJOYING THE BIGG gASS GRILL.

LOOKS LIKE WE'RE SETTLED IN FOR THE SUMMER.
