Spent the entire day shampooing all of the furnishings and carpet in the RV dining / living area. One guess as to when the last time that chore was done. (Hint: it weren’t this century.) The post-cleaning water in the shampooer was much, much darker than the driveway… which is 100% dirt! Used over a gallon of cleaning solution and almost half the RV’s water supply… in an area measuring 10 ½ by 17 feet. A gallon of solution will clean our whole house in Virginia… twice!!!! While cleaning under the couch, found 11¢ and Exhibit A. A free night's stay at Triangle Square Circle to the first contestant who correctly identifies what this was in its former life. Also discovered that the back of one of the drawers under the dining settees was broken apart. Isn’t Liquid Nails a wonderful product? Did someone say, “caveat emptor”? After dinner, Mike Fallis, an arborist and owner of Limbwalker Tree Service, stopped by to eyeball the tree branches that need to come down to avoid future unpleasant surprises of the widow maker kind. We agreed that he will do that work between 12 – 17 June, exact date TBD. Tried an energy efficiency experiment tonight: shut off the water heater before doing the daily dishes and Doug cleanup routine. Still had hot water at the end of my shave and shower, though some slight cooling was setting in. Guess sometimes you just have to live dangerously in the name of saving the environment.
