Friday 8-15-25 Fall Trip Preparation Begins, Dancing & More

 

Awesome Day

 

We had another hot humid day with the high of 99 degrees.

We're planning to start our Fall Trip next Thursday so we started the day out by getting the Minnie out of storage. We like to bring the Minnie home about a week before our six to eight week trips to do maintenance and preparation on the Minnie. 

Once the Minnie was at home Larry backed it on the side of the house. He dumped the tanks and filled it up with water. Then he changed the oil and oil filter. 

 

Changing the Minnie's oil

 

After changing the oil he pulled it to the front of the house and plugged it in to power. He decided to change the oil in the generator. He had a new tool to pump the oil out of the generator. Then he checked the oil we had. He found out, that the generator used the same oil the boat used. He almost had enough oil but was short half a quart. He went on the internet and found that Auto Zone had the oil. We went to Auto Zone and bought a quart. When we got home he filled the generator with oil. He also checked the air pressure on the air bags and they were good. 

When we got the Minnie we bought a fairly large digital clock with indoor and outdoor temperature. It has been a great clock but on our last few trips it has started losing the time and Larry has to reprogram it. He went on Amazon and found a clock he liked and ordered it. Hopefully it will be here tomorrow.  

Yesterday, morning Larry got on Amazon to order some floss because we were getting low. He ordered the floss in the morning and we received the floss in the evening. This was great.

I played the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Free Cell Adventure of 20 games. It took me 2 hours, 6 minutes and 26 seconds, which put me in 10th place. I played Angry Birds.

I played four different games of pinball, which were World Cup Soccer, World Tour Joker Poker, Big Bang Bar and NBA Fast Break. I didn't play well but had fun.

For dinner I barbecued four Chicken Breast skewers with Hatch Chili Peppers. We bought them at Aldi. They came out delicious.

At 6:30 I attended Ett McAtee's Weekly A2 dance for an hour. She called four tips to 9 participants. This was her last dance for a little over a week because she's going on a cruise to Iceland. It was a small group and I had a super time dancing.

 

 

I love square dancing

 

After the dance we finished watching the third season of Professor T and started the fourth season. We were surprised to see, that the whole fourth season was up to stream on PBS. Then I watched Armageddon from our movies collection. I ended up doing 3,200 steps.
