Its ALL Done
We got up around 7:15 am had breakfast and started. I had gotten the hose out the day before and it was ready. Out came the bucket and the car wash liquid and the brush. I dragged all this up on the roof and began the chore of washing the roof. I started at the front and made my way back a brush stroke at a time.
Shirley began the inside chore of washing, sweeping, wiping and disinfecting. We don't do this kind of deep cleaning often but usually when we move. She sometimes takes the carpet cleaner and does some carpet cleaning. The wood kitchen floor is cleaned and waxed, the dusty wood work is wiped clean, the table and counter top is cleaned and for a moment sterile. The bathroom is cleaned and for a moment it too is sterile.
The carpet is vacuumed and where it is, the mushrooms are removed. Yes, mushrooms. The moisture on, in the carpet will grow mushrooms. We have a spot by the passenger seat and the table by the recliner behind the passenger seat. Shirley said there was mold on the drivers door. She has found mold in the bedroom before. We don't have a leak from outside. We do have lots of moisture inside. Our space is so small that the shower moisture, cooking moisture and that moisture that comes in the vents, windows stays in. She wiped, washed, vacuumed, swept and cleaned the inside. No small job!
While she was working inside, I washed the outside of the motorhome. And the suv got washed too. Then it was time to do the windows. Out came the window cleaner and we began. Before you know it, some 4 hours later, its all done. We both were exhusted from all the work.
Its a tuesday and this evening I will go and play my last pool games with the guys I've meet here. Infact one of them lives next to us in his rv. Charlie and his friend Marvin are probably the best in the area. Marv is in a 9 ball tournment this morning and I will see how he did this evening. The play 8 ball per the BCA rules and running a table is rather difficult. But these two guys do it. I did play one time before with them and on my break, I got to run the table on Charlie. I think all of them were surprised.
Tomorrow is my last golf day. I will play 18 holes and spend some 4.5 hours of doing something I enjoy. My golfing will cease till a later day. I will try to play in Uvalde and in Hobbs. After that, when ever.
Thursday morning we pull out of here, get gas somewhere down the road. We have just over a half a tank or about 40 gallons. Our stop for that day is Laredo and the state park there.
