Eating too much again

I hope all of you had a nice day Easter Sunday and all your planning for that day went as expected.

Nancy and I spent the day at home, she always like to fix me a special dinner and did she ever.

Here is a sampling of the food in my plate.  Ham, that we prepared in the IP Pot, deviled eggs, candied sweet potatoes, cooked cabbage, green beans, hot rolls and a soft drink.

That lady can still cook up a delicious meal.

 

Yesterday was I went to Home Depot for a few needed things and also to a few grocery stores for a few items we needed.

Also did a little work around the motor home.

 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Happy Easter

I would like to say Happy Easter to all my readers and to thank you for hanging in there with me while I have been busy and have neglected  my blog.
May this day truly be happy for you as you are with your family or do your thing at this time.

I have to say I think it looks like I will be finished with the flooring project tomorrow.
It has been a long tiring work in progress and I would not suggest for a guy my age to tackle doing it alone.

Speaking of my age I will be 81 on the last day of this month.

Our daughter Sherry will be here late tomorrow evening to visit with us.  She likes to visit and start on our summer travels with us until we arrived at her house.
Of course she has a chance to visit with her son Jeremy and his family as we have a stop there along the way.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Oh, the appoinments

Busy week so far and no it hasn't been on the upgrading of the motor home.

Monday, Nancy and I had an appointment with our cardiologist for what we thought was the last one until we get back in the fall of the year.
It was for me but not Nancy, the doctor wants to have her to do some test to see why her legs are staying swelled up like they do.
After the test then he well see her a couple of days after the test results on her legs.

Tuesday, both of us were at our regular doctor for him to check us out.  Since I've not had any blood work done in a couple of years he thought it would be a good idea to do that before we leaving for the summer.

Yesterday we went to Lab Corp to have our blood drawn.  I just had to have three vials drawn, but Nancy had to have ten vials because she had to have it for three different doctors.
Because of all the blood taken from Nancy she was not very alive all day long.

Needless to say I only got a little work done on the motor home.  I hope in the next three days I can get more of the upgrade finished.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

A couple of photos

Well I have been busy with some of our usual chore like going to the store and helping nancy with the laundry.
As always when Nancy feels like it and a little peppy she will do the washing of the clothes on our little washer/spin dryer.  Then I take them down to our laundromat here in the park to completely dry them.

I've been going to Home Depot at least once a week for supplies on the upgrade that I have been doing so long.
While being out at the Home Depot I stop along the way at the different  grocery stores that have the best prices of the things that we need.

I finally got the dog house in the motorhome covered.

It wasn't as hard as I expected it to be, although it did take a little sniping and tucking for a good fit.

 

 

Actually it was more hard lying on my stomach doing the passenger side of the firewall.

Anyway it did turn out pretty well and looks a lot better with the old carpet out of there.

 

With Nancy and I having three days of doctor appointment this week I will not get to work on it as much as I need to.

But it will be finished before we get on the road for the summer.

 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

 

 

 

Goings on

I got very little completed on the floor project this week, so this next week I need to get with it.

I did get to Home Depot a couple of times for some supplies I needed including the carpet that will go on the engine cover.

Also went to the grocery store a few days, Walmart one time.

But the best part was we got to visit with a couple of our friends which was long past due.
The first was with Lee our friend whom we have not seen in over a year.
Lee came over one day, even after I told him the motor home was in a mess.  But you know a good friend is someone who can overlook the messed up place and just put that away while having a very good visit.  Thank you a lot for coming over Lee.

The second visit was Carolyn and Sam where we met at Steak and Shake  for a light meal.
Carolyn and Sam are our long time friends from back home in West Virginia.
While eating we carried on a conversation that extend out into the parking lot.  After a couple of hours we decided it was time to end it and be on our way home.

I did watch the NCAA Basketball Tournament, so tomorrow night will be the finals and that will be all of it until the college basketball starts back up later this year.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day. 





 

Laundry Day

Yesterday was time to do our laundry, so that made it a wash and dry day.
While we are parked here Nancy does the washing part with our small washer and spin dryer.  When she has finished with three small loads I take them to the Laundromat here in the park to be put in a dryer.
So with doing a quit and sheets I have to take them to the laundromat wash in the large washers and then dry them.
This morning it has started raining again and Nancy will do another load of clothes for me to dry.

It rained all day yesterday and the temperature dropped down to 64*  then as night fall came it went back up to 72*.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Basketball and other things

I had to go to Home Depot yesterday to get the trim strips for the flooring.
Unlike when I picked up the one strip a week ago it was 10 ft long and the ones yesterday where 11 ft long.  I told the guy that was there helping me I could only take 10 ft long because I'm in a car and when I put them in the trunk with the back seat down 10 ft was the longest I could take. 
So he said he would cut a foot off of them.

Next stop was Aldi's to pick up a few items to make us a salad later on in the day.  When we had the salad every thing was out of the garden fresh and good.

Next stop was Dollar Tree to get some John Morrell smoke sausage.  I always buy the sausage at Dollar Tree because it is thirty cent cheaper than the other stores, plus I bought a few other things.

By the time I got back home, unloaded the things I bought it was to late to start working on anything.

Besides the NCAA Tournament started early and I didn't want to miss that.
Today I will watch the two tournament games to see who the two last teams will be in the "final four".

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Good news for Nancy

Yesterday we were back at the Florida Specialist Center to see the results of Nancy's blood work.
He was wanting to see if the iron infusion IV's had any effect or not.
Well it seems that it has help Nancy quite a bit with her red blood cell count being up and other things being up as well.

He wants her back in a month with another blood work before she is due back.  This is to check to see if her latter numbers staying help.
If not he will see if her taking shots will help her.

After that I have been wanting to go to Taco Bell to try the "Rattle Snake Fries" they have been advertising on tv.   The fries are suppose to have a bite to them with the jalapeno peppers in them.
Well they did not bite me very hard and I ended up putting their "Fire Hot Sauce" on it so it would have the right bite for me.

Then it was to Home Depot for an item I needed.

From the it was up to Spring Hill where I left Nancy at Walmart while I continued to Cricket to get Nancy's Moto G phone changed over to an new LG phone we had.  The reason for this was the speaker went out on the LG phone.

When I got back to Walmart Nancy was almost through with the shopping and a short time later we were headed home.

That was our day.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Games and Chores

Things are going kind of slow with the NCAA Basketball Tournament in progress you just know what I'm doing.
Yeah, I really like the college basketball and when a few teams I like make it to the tournament that makes it special.

I still did take time to drain the black tank and flush it out after a small problem with it.
The flow started good but then stopped all of a sudden and that is not good.
So what I did was put some water in the tank, thinking maybe the water would have enough pressure would push the blocked stuff out.  But no luck on that.
Then with my thinking cap on I thought that maybe Dawn dish washing liquid was good for stuff other than washing dishes  I would try that.
I poured about six ounces of the Dawn in the tank and waited about twenty minute then went out to open the valve to see what would happen?
Well what do you know, the Dawn did the trick it soften up the clog enough for it to drain out.

Next up was to run the 5500W Onan Generator on the motorhome so it would not be setting and the carb be plugged up.
Also we have a 100W Sportsman Generator that we use a lot when we are boondocking that comes in handy. We have a one or two days at a time that we are without hookups and it works for us especially if the sun is not shining on the solar panels.

We did go 28 days in in one month this passed year that we was with out an electric hookup and made it just fine and that was just fine.
That was with our 10 cube ft  residential refrigerator that you read about people saying you will not be able to boondock if you have one in your camper. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Flooring is down and other things

Monday, was laundry day and did we have a load.  I've been busy and Nancy knew that when I'm that way I don't want to stop even to eat, so big laundry day.

Nancy did the washing with the small compact washer/spin dry we have that sits in the shower for water supply and drain.  After she has a load finished I take them to the laundromat here in the park to dry them.

Tuesday Nancy was at the Gulf Coast Medical Center to have a bone density thing done.
She has never had one and they thought it would be a good idea to have it

Afterwards it was off to the Grand Sushi Hibachi Buffet to eat.
This may plat of food and as you can see the plate is not full.  I take small portions because I can finish that before it gets cold and them get some more hot food to eat.

This plate has a few sweet and sour chicken, peppered chicken, bourbon chicken, sausage, a little steak on the fried rice, potato wedges and sauteed  green beans.

Yesterday it was to thee different stores for some groceries.

Sometime during the week I was back to Home Depot to return a box of the Allure Vinyl Planks and check on some carpet for the dog house and stairs.  The stairs coming in the motor home folds up to get to the batteries so that is why it has to have carpet.

"YES" all the flooring is down, I still have to put in the strips around the wall before it is completed.
This has been and still a little to go very time consuming while we are living in the motor home.

Later I will post some before and after photos.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Same thing going on.

Well all most the same thing, except that Nancy felt like going shopping with me in the middle of the week.
When we were trough with the shopping and as we were going out the door I told her I was going to leave her home the next time because it costs to much when she is with me.

The week also had me watching some of the college basketball tourneys in the different divisions.

The flooring is still going along slowly,  with the bedroom finished,
 Both of the drivers seat and the passenger seat are taken out with the flooring installed on the passenger side.

Of course after the flooring is all down will come the trim all around.

Today has started out nice with the temperature being at 72 degrees.  Today the high will be in the low 80's.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
