Sunday 3-24 Cleaning the Minnie

Washing the Minnie

It was mostly cloudy today. Occasionally the sun did come out. The temperature was in the high 70's. A perfect day to clean the Minnie.

We started out by cleaning the interior of the Minnie. Larry unloaded his cubby hole where he stores things like: hoses, gloves, rags, grill regulator and leveling blocks. We vacuumed and wiped it down and put the parts back. Larry vacuumed under the couch and around the water tank. It was amazing how much dog hair we found, Flo has been gone for almost two years and we still find hair. We wiped down and vacuumed out everything including the cab area.

After lunch we went outside and washed the Minnie from top to bottom. After sitting under a huge oak tree in The Valley for three months it was filthy. Larry washed and scrubbed the roof, it took longer than usual because of all the stuff that fell from the tree. The back of the Minnie was streaked with black lines. We had to use a strong soap to remove the streaks, the soap also removed the wax so tomorrow we'll wax the back of the Minnie. Larry washed most of the Minnie. When he got tried I took over. While Larry was washing the Minnie I came behind and dried it off. It took us all afternoon.

For the last few evenings we have streamed movies off of Amazon. The first one was a 2017 movie called Lady Bird. It was a cute movie about a seventeen years old girl finding herself and her relationship with her mother. The second one was a 2016 movie called The Lost World of Z. I liked the movie but it was slow moving. It was a true drama about British explorer Col. Percival Fawcett, who searched for a mysterious city in the Amazon in the 1920's. The last one was Laura Croft Tomb Raider, starring Angelina Jolene. It was an adventure movie. In was done in 2001 and redone in 2018. I enjoyed the movie.
