She usually puts together a short list of projects that she would like help with while we are in town, which is good for Paul because he likes to stay busy.
While Paul was occupied, Dozer helped my with my projects. I got caught up on my paperwork and organized my pictures.
I have also started back up with my genealogy research and recently made contact with an 81 year old priest, who is my third cousin once removed. He has a lot of family history information and has even written a 200 page “book” outlining the family tree. He was nice enough to send it to me. Now I have a lot of work to do!
Actually, he and I are related on both my mother and my father’s side of the family which makes the connection even more fun!
Just like with a house, the trailer has wear and tear issues and needs occasional updating. On the way into El Paso, Paul noticed that the airbags in the hitch that keep the trailer riding smoothly had lost their air. We can travel without them but prefer not to go too far.
Once he pulled it apart, he could see that the airbags had worn through. We ordered new ones, and the company who makes the hitch is sending us an upgraded “bed” for the airbags to sit in so they won’t rub.
Having dealt with batteries on an ongoing basis on our boats, we long ago instituted a “battery rule”. We don’t mess around- once a battery doesn’t seem to be holding a charge, out it goes. Well, that time has come, and the old batteries are out, and new AGM batteries are in. Well, one is in. Sam’s Club only had one, so we still need a second one.
Both Arizona and Texas have spectacular sunsets and we were treated to some awesome ones while we were in El Paso.
Sounds like you are getting a ton done. But sometimes getting a ton done take $ out of our pocket. Wish that wouldn't happen like that!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's some sunset.
