Clean trailers and friends...

I was again on my way to another boring day around here, but convinced myself to get into the Jeep and head for the storage lot...

The hitch that I purchased before I left Kansas needed to be transferred to the Jeep and the trailer needed to come home....  The driver's side was covered with the grease from the bad axle bearing... Biscuit was with me as well, as we had gone on a nice walk down the green grassy area here in the center of our housing development..

It took a minute to get the locking pin into the back of the Jeep, but after that was done, the trailer pulled back over to the house without incident..   I had to stop at Wal Mart for a big can of engine degreaser..

So I spent a couple of hours with the pressure washer and the foaming cleaner...  It didn't come very clean, but mostly its not black anymore...

When I went back with the trailer, I put it in front of the motorhome since it won't be used much this winter....  That will let me get the coach out to go on a trip if need be...  I'm not sure how that will all work as the car that can be pulled is still in KC...  Will probably need to make a few changes in that program....

Once I had the storage lot all locked up, I went over to Sandie Dixon's RV park on the off chance that I might catch her or Jim at home.....  I needed to get on their appointment calendar  for a restaurant trip...

They seem to be busy all the time, being in much demand  socially...  Jim was fishing and had taken the truck and boat...  But the door to the RV was open, meaning she was at home...  We sat outside for a while catching up since last season...  While it threatened rain with nasty clouds...

We ignored that and talked on...  She was gracious and realized my pent up need to talk and talk...  Perhaps we will get that restaurant meal in one of these days too...

  4. One of the difficult things about living alone is that you don't have anyone to talk to. When I go to the grocery or gym, or wherever, I know I will talk someone's arm off if they give me the chance.
