The Clock is ticking down . . .
and we’ve got just two weeks to go here at Galveston Bay RV Park.
After coffee this morning I started back on a few of the small things on my “Do Before We Leave” List
First up was to install the new 26” Denso Wipers on the rig. I did have to modify the mounts a little bit to make them fit right, but I think these will clean the windshield about better than the others. I guess we’ll see when it starts raining.
Next up I installed the AstroTurf Step Map that I bought a while back.
These do a really good job of keeping your shoes clean, and the first one lasted for 5 years, so another one was in order.
Changing out the mat consisted of just cutting the 3 zip ties that held the old on, and then zip tying the new one. Done.
After a few other things, Jan and I headed out about 1:45 for her Ophthalmologist’s appointment for this year. And after about 2 hours she was given a clean bill of health.
Heading home, we made a quick stop at HEB for a few things, including stocking up on a couple of bags of our favorite flavored coffee beans that are only available from them.
Before we left home earlier, we started a slow cooker of homemade Chicken Tortilla Soup and by the time we got home, it was pretty much ready to go. All I had to do was slice up some jalapenos and dump them in the pot.
Really good and we have enough for another meal.
Tomorrow Jan has her yearly Doctor’s appointment at 8am. I have mine next Monday and then we’ll be done for this year.
Later tomorrow I have a couple of client appointments to wrap some things up. I’m glad that my computer work is starting to wind down, so I’ll have more time to get rig stuff done.

The Good News is . . .
the next I have to replace the seat on our Dometic toilet, it will only take about 30 seconds, as long as I use the same brand of seat.
But instead it took me about 2 hours to get the old one off, due to how tight the nuts underneath holding it on were. I could have gotten it off easier if I had pulled the toilet from the floor, but I was trying to avoid that.
Finally I just drilled the bolts out from the top, which took a little care so I didn’t accidentally drill into the toilet body. But about 15 minutes work and it was done.
Then a couple of minutes to install the new bolts and then about 30 seconds to mount the new seat, and it was done.
Next up was a quickie job: Mounting a new CO Monitor on the ceiling in the bathroom. That went smoothly for a change.
Then I started looking at the last remaining shade that I need to repair. It’s the one in the living room over the sofa. Unfortunately this one either has a broken string, or at least one has pulled back through the Day portion of the shade.
But it looks like I’ll need to lower the sofa into the bed to get access to the screws at the bottom of the valance. But that will have to wait until tomorrow, because right now we need to head over to Brandi and Lowell’s to Landon-sit for the afternoon, while they checked out some more houses.
After dropping Jan off at Brandi’s I ran some errands before ending back there for the afternoon. Landon was his usually sweet self and we had a lot of fun playing with him.
Brandi and Lowell got back about 4:30 and about 30 minutes later we all, along with Aunt Sherry, headed over to King Food for dinner. And after a great meal, we all headed home for the night.
