What the ???

 So they called yesterday (Friday the 23rd) to tell us the moho was ready for pick up. It was forecast to be a low of 20 degrees last night so we viewed the message with mixed feelings but decided to go get it so we were in control of what happens to it. After all who knows it better than we do having lived in it full time for 10 years and half time for 6 years. It looks great with its new topside. But...

The furnace wasn't working. We thought it started to work but we were wrong because it was not working this morning. Semi panic set in. Decisions had to be made. Butch worked on it for several hours before deciding we had no other choice than to winterize it. So the process began. Now those of you who do this annually have acquired a routine for it. We winterized our first RV once and vowed we would never do it again and haven't until now.

We toyed with the idea of just taking off for southern climes but the prospect of loading it up for our trek south was no more appealing in 20-degree weather than winterizing. So we winterized. The weather is supposed to improve next Friday with a high of 50 degrees. Now sounding absolutely balmy! So that will be our target date for getting moved into with all the things we need for the winter in Texas.

So bad news is we need to get the furnace working and/or repaired asap. The good news is every nook and cranny will be getting a thorough cleaning. In the winterization process, every cabinet and drawer must be scoured for items that might freeze and break. I have been looking at long-forgotten items in the far recesses of the motorhome. It is a perfect time to reassess each and every item to see if it is worthy of the space it takes to haul it around. Now doesn't that sound like fun?

I mistakenly posted this entry to the Trophy Gardens blog when I meant it for here. If you are looking at something to fill your time you can see that blog, the trophy gardens one, at this address. https://trophygardens.blogspot.com/
