Oookay, this is going to get me into trouble......... Loyce loaded all the laundry in the bags that we use to take it to the laundry house. And then I carried them outside and stuffed them all into the car. She put it off for quite a while, because that was when she was noticing that she too had the dizzy headache.
Eventually. as it was becoming way late in the afternoon, she drove over and loaded up the machines. I had gone to the bank and found the cash necessary to run the machines. And I went up during the washing time to see if she needed any thing to continue the task......... But, please understand that I am not allowed to touch the actual laundry process in any way!!!
I simply do not do things her way and she feels that I am untrainable. I have never complained about this unfortunate turn of events. You know, I have weakly objected to this opinion of my skills, but have never protested with any vehement veracity.......
When she returned with the clean clothes in the bags, I was in the process of making the evening supper, with noodles and burger beef, creamed with cream of mushroom soup and sour cream. She didn't even suggest that I stop cooking and help sort clothes. I hope that explains laundry day and how "we" might even be plausible as a description. Otherwise no I won't be allowed to do the laundry by myself...
The big excitement here on this street of the park, is that our neighbor from SF, Calif decided to get his motorhome washed and waxed today. Of course that meant we had to go move the car and the motorscooter. The scooter is black and water spots on the drop of a hat. We had just washed the car yesterday, So the crew was nice enough to come knock on our door and warn us that water was about to fly.
Several of us men gathered out in the street to watch this spectacle....... You know deciding what was being completed correctly and of course what was totally wrong........LOL
We never had the nerve to ask Gordon our neighbor what it all cost, but last year this treatment was about $250. The wash pickup truck pulls a trailer with a gas power washer and a large water softener. Also there is a soap tank, and various reels to power coil the wash wand hoses. The company is called Tubbies RV Wash but no one was seriously fat.......
There were four men, and they started on the roof with the wash wand and scrub brushes on the long handles. It took about an hour to wash the entire rig with several of the fellows drying with towels. But the big job took place later in the afternoon as they came back and waxed the entire coach.
Wax on into a glaze, and then towel buff off the wax until the shine gleamed. They even used the tire black stuff on the wheels, so for now it looks like showroom perfect.
We spent some of the afternoon looking at housing alternatives here in the valley again. Long term readers know that we seem to do this every year, and dream of not being confined to the RV parks, but then there are always park models here as well. Then we argue that trading the RV for a significantly nicer one could make us a new alternative.......
Usually the time here expires before we get overly temped by all these alternatives ......

Good post. :)
ReplyDeleteI am usually on laundry patrol but the four months I spent in a wheelchair - Jim really learned how to do a good job. And I was in no condition to complain about any of it. It's still a lot of fun to look even if time runs out.
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to get my 5th wheel washed and waxed, but was never in a park where they came around to do that. I spent a couple of weeks doing a small section at a time, and think it would be well worth $250 to just have someone else do it and get it over with.
