It's finally getting back into the 60's on a regular basis. I took the opportunity to clean the truck. After three months on the road it was pretty dirty inside and out. I decided to be extra thorough so it took several hours. Washed all the glass inside and out, shampooed the carpet, wiped off all of the interior surfaces.
Because the RV park doesn't allow the washing of vehicles (few do), we went to a self service car wash to clean the outside. I operated the sprayer while Ellen kept plugging money into the timer. It took about $4.50 to do the truck. The outside was coated in this sticky soil that splashed on the sides while we were driving around on dirt roads in the rain looking for houses. The sprayer was a pretty powerful power washer. I had to put the tip 2 inches from the frame to clean off parts of it.
Then it was back home to hand wax the truck. That's an operation in itself due to the size of the vehicle. It's now clean, waxed, and ready for the trip to Las Vegas next month.
The whole operation took most of the day. When I was finished I decided that I'd had my daily requirement of useful activity. Tomorrow we go out with the realtor to decide which house we are going to make an offer on.
