Tuesday 3-13 Spring is a week away

Spring is just around the corner

We had another beautiful day. It was a little cool but the wind was down. I can tell spring is almost here, the tree across the road from us is in bloom and my allergies were acting up this morning. The kids in the neighborhood are on spring break.

We have been wanting to give the Minnie a bath since we came back from the Rio Grande Valley but the weather hasn't been cooperating. This morning it was in the 30's and too cold but by afternoon the temperature was in the 60's. It was a perfect time to wash the Minnie. It was filthy considering it went through a lot of rain going to the valley and we drove through more rain coming home from Tool last week. The first thing Larry did was climb on the roof and wash it, this took awhile, he used a big brush to get most of the dirt off, then he took a smaller brush and scrubbed in the corners and groves. After doing the roof he climbed down and worked his way around the Minnie. When he finished washing the Minnie I came behind him and wiped it down with a towel. When he finished washing the Minnie's body he washed the wheels and hub caps. Now the Minnie is clean and ready to go for its next adventure.

For dinner I barbecued hamburgers on the charcoal grill. 

After dinner we watched YouTube videos and a movie from Google Play. We were going to watch Lord of the Rings Two Towers but our dvd player couldn't read the disc. Larry went to Amazon and Google Play to see how much it would cost to rent the movie. When he got on Google Play there was a special that allowed us to rent any movie for $.99. We figured it was a waste of money to rent a movie we have seen many times so we rented Thor: Ragnarok. It's a superhero movie made by Marvel Studios. We like action movies and we enjoyed watching this one. We had a great day.
