RV Blog--Life in a Box. This just ain't 'camping' any more.... Saturday, January 24, 2004: Nope. Still don't have it back. Ron said he'd have it ready again today..... So, back to RV related things! Bought an umbrella clothesline yesterday, and next week will be devoted to the washing of clothes--providing I have transportation, of course! Our big 5th wheel has a laundry rack setup on the rear bumper, but this little one has a funky bumper and rear window awning that defy the use of one of those. All I have to do is figure out how to get the umbrella to stay put in all this sand.... I suspect that a bag of Sacrete will be involved.... Landlord should love that! :) While I was in 'umbrella mode' I picked up a cheap patio umbrella to stick through the hole in our plastic table. Even with the awning out, we have very little shade through the heat of the day. We're pointed East and WEst here, so we get sun all day! Anyhow, the umbrella makes it possible to sit outside and have lunch, read a book, watch the neighbors...all that Florida-in-the-winter stuff.... Sure are going to have a well, loaded trailer when we finally leave here!!!The "new" wore off the new job. :( Keith was hired as an equipment operator--and can number on one hand the times he's been in the seat of ANYTHING besides a pickup truck! For some reason, there are 3 extra operators and the job foreman does all the 'operating'! But Keith is getting a lot of experience flagging and shoveling and standing around. And getting to know the other English-speeking employees.... And has learned a lot about paving--by watching, mostly! NOT the job he was looking for, obviously! So, that the way it is, here in Sunny Florida. Supposed to rain tomorrow--we'll be able to fish off our steps again.... LOL! Later....
