The Solution

This is the side of my coach I used The Solution sold by Mark Hall who can be reached at the following URL:

This product does an excellent job in washing your RV as well as leaving a very smooth protective finish. Best of all its very easy to apply and removed. I was able to do the entire 2/3rds all the way around in about an hour and half. I did not prewash the coach, now mind you it wasn’t filthy dirty but had two trips of road grime on the lower sections.

Mark advises you can use this product just about on any surface of your RV. Your mirrors, window glass and fiberglass. Contact him he will be happy to set you up. No, Mark did not ask me to provide this information on this excellent product. I am sold on using it between the Klasse treatment. When we get off the road it doesn’t take long to get the coach looking good again.

I was reading George’s journal yesterday wherein he put photo of himself showing his recent basal cell removal. He also gave a website address http://www.plasticsurgery4u.com/procedure_folder/nasal_recon_folder/nasal_recon_bilobe.html

After reviewing this I have to be a little honest “It scared the H__  out of me”. I have one of these suckers on each side of the old smeller. Keep me in your prayers next Thursday the 27th. A word of caution to any of you out there who are sun worshippers please use the sun screen and if you have anything usual appear on the nose go get it checked out.

Until next time…MtnAire Travlers.

Sandy’s Visitor

Today was Sandy’s fourth week on her new job. They worked 12 hours today as starting Monday they are going to start 12/4 because the distance they are having to go now requires more drive time. She was a little pooped when she got home tonight around 8pm. She’s looking forward to the 12/4 as this will give her Friday’s off making it a three day weekend.

Today she had a visitor stroll up to the front of her RTV. She said this guy really was curious about her RTV and really like licking the front bumper. One of the weed eaters walked up from the rear and reached out his hand. The bull did not take well of that and chased him into the RTV. They weed eated four miles today and are now only about a mile behind the two mowers with their 15ft bat wing brush hogs. They hope to catch up with them Monday.

Here are before and after photos.

I just can’t imagine doing this job 12/4. Sandy is the RTV driver and line finder. Once she finds the line she will mark the line with fiberglass markers. They have the emergency phone number on them and usually are about 3/4 mile apart depending upon the terrain. If the line are exposed like across a creek she has to lay two markers. The team that is mowing from the Corsicana side are having about a three hour to and from drive. Another reason for the 12/4. Sandy’s crew consist of three weed eaters and her self. She also said they could not weed eat at two locations for fear of two bit bull dogs that where behind flimsy fences.

Today I did laundry and moped her title floors with water and vinegar. Dusted the furniture and washed what dishes I messed up during the day. I would like to say I had dinner on the table when she got home but I’m no cook. So my sweetie also prepared our dinner by going to the local cafe and getting us a meal to go. I would have done this but at the time she did not know when she would get home. We will go into town tomorrow which now with her working is once a week and do a major grocery shop. Maybe we can come up with some simple receipts that I can do.LOL!

Until next time….MtnAire Travlers

I read about this tool on The Geeks On Tour Blog. I thought I would give it a try as posting my blog on Blogger adding photos is a chore. Here goes

  

My Father use to own a Gulf Service Station similar to this one. I can remember working on weekends that most of his lady customer’s would only want Dad fueling their car, wiping windshields, sweeping floor boards, checking oil and tires. That was back in the days where you received full service. I remember one lady particularly that would tell me she didn't  want me touching her car and she would wait for my Father. We hand washed and dried an average of 40 to 50 cars a weekend. After the Gulf he later purchased a Humble Service Station (Exxon today) and his sales really climbed. He also was a good mechanic which really kept him busy as everyone would bring their cars to him for auto repair. Well Its time to see if I can get this posted to my journal. It works !!!

Surgery Moved Back

I received a call from VA advising my basal cell surgery on my nose must be moved back until the 27th of August. I asked why and was told they had to move another patient in front of me whose surgery was more of an emergency than mind. I at first was a little put out as the anticipation jitters would continue for another week. Then I said to myself I needed to be thankful as the person that bumped me was a lot more serious than mine..... So I will have to wait tell this happens to update you. I was reading George's journal http://blog.vagabonders-supreme.net/ who had a similar surgery and he came through okay with the exception of a swollen eye which he said is normal with this type of surgery. I have two one on each side I can't imagine what that's going to end up looking like.

Sandy's job is just going great. She's up every morning at 5am and off by 6am. Her job is a little closer to Lone Star now so she's home a little earlier than 7pm. They started another line that goes nearly to Corsicana, TX. Her crew is starting from this end and going toward the other crew who started near Corsicana. They hope to meet somewhere half way in about two weeks.

This role reversal has me feeling a little guilty as this probably should be me doing this with her staying at home, however it's nice to know she loves what she is doing and more importantly paying off some of the major expenses we've had on the home on wheels.

Some good news we have a pending contract on my mothers home. Hopefully bar any last minute glitches will close on it by September 10th. The family has already been pre-approved by the bank with a couple of things that have to be ironed out but lets pray that all goes well. We put the house on the market in March and five months later sold it. I've read other journals where some of the RV dreamers have also sold their homes in the last few weeks. Maybe the economy is on its way back. Lets hope so.

Here are a couple of before and after photos of Sandy's weed eating crew at work.

VA, Canton 1st Monday and Sandy's Job Updates

Sandy got home from her job last Friday, July 24th around 7pm. I had the motor home ready to leave for our monthly trek to Canton. We arrived around 9pm. Set the motor home up and ate a late dinner. That weekend we set up our booth as Sandy was driving to her mothers Sunday nite as she had to go to work Monday morning at 6am. Sandy returned to Canton Tuesday evening the 28th as we had to get up at 5am to drive to VA Shreveport for my surgeons appointment for my basal cells on my nose. We arrived at 8;30am and checked in then proceeded to wait in the waiting room for about 30 minutes which wasn't that bad.

Finally they called my name and I was on my way to have those suckers removed from the old nose. But, as luck would have it the young whipper snapper of a surgeon advised the operation would require some skin grafting and maybe some plastic surgery. I knew it.... I was going to get that MJ nose after all. So.... I now have been rescheduled for a day surgery on August 19th 6am.

Will post an update after I get home. I did have to have several pre-op procedures done while there like an EKG, chest Xray, blood work and health history which I might add was real quick considering I had no appointments for this work. This facility is very nice and seems to be organized very well. You just can't believe the number of vets there that day literally hundreds.

After ll the test we returned to Canton and Sandy had to return to her mothers as yes she had to go to work the next morning.

I manned the booth by myself Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st. It rained every night on those days. Our crowd was a typical August crowd.... non buyers. Sandy returned to Canton Friday night and I sure was glad to see her. Yes, particularly because she does a heck of a lot better job at running the booth than I do. I would make the sales pitch and some of the ladies would snicker and walk away. Glad I didn't have my MJ nose as no telling what they might have done. Anyway our August Canton was a bummer as we barley pulled out our expenses.

We returned to lone Star Sunday night as Sandy had to get up at 5am for going to her job. Looks like she will be able to put in her 10 to 12 hours per day this whole week without interruptions and rain. Were in the money!!! heehee

Also I've been doing the chores around the house while she is off doing the important stuff. I might add I had and accident the other day while cleaning the tile floors with water and vinegar....my cell phone fell into the bucket from my t-shirt pocket and yes it drowned.

Well stay tuned for more adventures with the....
