Saturday 12-23 Getting ready for the Valley

Getting ready for the Valley

We woke up to 34 degrees and it didn't get out of low 50s. To top it off there was a wind so it was cold.

Because of the recent rains the Equinox was filthy so we went to the car wash. Larry usually does the least expensive car wash but today he spent a bit more to get wax sprayed on. After the car went through the wash we wiped it down and vacuumed it out. It looks a lot better now.

We're leaving for The Rio Grande Valley on Christmas Day and it's only a couple of days away so our next stop was the storage center to get the Minnie and the car dolly.  When we got home I helped Larry put the dolly in the garage. He then plugged the Minnie in to power, checked the air in the tires and air bags of the Minnie and the dolly. He figured since he had the air hose out and the compressor running he might as well include the truck tires. After this he put bleach in the septic system. When he was finished it was time for lunch.

After lunch I started to load the Minnie with clothes and food. I didn't load as much food as we usually take on our trips considering there are plenty of readily available stores where we are going. I also did a few loads of laundry. 

We decided that we're going to take the Google Mini with us so it can play our music, answer our questions and even turn on the fan. It took Larry awhile to get it configured to work with the Mobley (our mobile internet device). 

In the evening we watched YouTube videos and the dvd, The Guardians of the Galaxy. Then I worked out for an hour with Gold's Gym and Just Dance. We had a very productive day.
