My family lost me today. :-)

I Was MIA for a bit today.. AND it was nice :B

Went outside to de winterize the fiver, since we are getting ready to take our first trip of the year in 1 week... I took advantage of some quality ME time while out there...
Flushed all the pink stuff, washed the outside, took a fireside nap ! :B

    Having been 'on call 24/7/365' for 25 yrs. dropping that phone like a hot potato was the EASIEST thing I did upon retirement.
    Have a cell phone cause they came as a package deal....'06 flip phone :B

    No more electronic leash!
  • Yanking 5er out of storage in another week. Clean it up, empty the contents and take to it's new owner. Told him what i'm going to do, but he'd have to de-winterize/santize it himself after I tell/show him what he needs to do. When all is said and done, I too hope to be like OP in his pic in recliner w/ fp going and tv on drinking a soda.
  • I was thinking of de-winterizing today myself....last weekend DW & I spent 3 hrs. washing on Friday and then 4 hrs. waxing (by hand) on Sat....boy, it's getting harder each passing year.

    It sure is a happy time de-winterizing!! Our lows are looking like only low 40s....time to go.

    Have a safe year.

    Oh I'll bet that would be so much fun. I have been really unlucky because I have never winterize an RV.

    We are parked on Proctor Lake now but just maybe someday I can have some fun.:)

    We hope you guys have a great trip.

  • Sometimes when you're lost, you don't want to be found. ;)
  • Every time I go outside to do any work SHE knows where to find me

    Nice thing is SHE doesn't 'disturb' me unless it starts getting dark :B



    Sure is nice to have 'man cave' and stocked fridge with FHUs right there
  • Did a very similar thing the other day. All but de-winterize as the overnight temps may still be sub zero a bit longer. Plan is to head out for Easter which is darned early for Alberta! To all those suffering camping withdrawal I feel for ya...right there with you.

    Daryll
  • Happens to me all the time. I do it so much, sweet thing knows exactly where to find me.
