Because We Can - Fulltime RV'ing

 

What Did We Do Today?

Wednesday Jan 23 Mission, Texas

Doo Day

Linda trying out her new lemon - lime squeezer. It is one of those things that you think sounds good, but will probably just end up taking space in a kitchen drawer, never to be used. Amazingly this little gadget really does work. Linda's hand strength is not good, but even she had no problem squeezing it closed. I think this means our lime purchases are going to be increasing.

It was my day to help John, a task that included replacing the ball and seals in their RV toilet. Since I was experienced in toilet maintenance and repair, and John wasn't, it was fitting that I read the installation instructions and offered suggestions on what would make the job easier while John was getting hands on experience in the crappier parts of the job.

Don't think for a minute that I didn't pitch right in and get my hands full. For example, to make it easier for John as he was sprawled out on the floor, attempting to put the toilet back together, I was focusing a high intensity LED light on the area he was working to make it easier to see what he was having trouble getting to go together. Let me tell you, it was hard work keeping that light focused on the right spot the way John was thrashing around on the floor trying to get in the right position.

After all that dirty hard work, this was a welcome sight at happy hour. When we had first set the bar out on the patio Linda had commented that it was bigger than she thought it was going to be. After getting everything out on it tonight she commented that maybe we should have made it bigger. Her worries were soon for naught as the six of us descended on it, leaving empty trays, bowls and bottles in our wake.

Soon we were telling the tales of our toilet repair, leaving out some of the messier details of course. That brought on a big smile from Dianne, as she laughed and said that was why they had an RV repairman do theirs. Look at it this way, our afternoon made for a great story, and isn't that what Life should be - Great.
