Day before
Harvey was getting bored sitting out in the field in his raincoat all winter, so we decided it was time to go some place. We didn’t go anywhere last summer because Harvey got a new roof which took forever. We moved Harvey to a friendlier campground storage place when our catalytic converter was stolen while it was parked at IStorage on Rock Road. And the IStorage manager just said, “gosh, we are sorry.” We wanted to go some place warm (not knowing Wichita would ALREADY be warm itself) so decided to head to Texas. We checked several places and ended up choosing Lake Buchanan because some of our friends wanted to go one place and just stay there. This is a new phenomenon for Bruce and I. But I think we are going to like it! We can put our awning out & even put on the string lights I bought (thinking I would put them out every night on our trip across the country – silly me!)
Bruce bought a new motorcycle. This one actually IS a motorcycle. It’s retro. Hmm see a pattern here … Harvey is old, Little Joe is old and now we have a new Green Machine … that is … old. I have not yet ridden on this motorcycle, but Bruce assures me that it can in fact get up hills with both of us on it and go over 40 mph if need be. Which I am most certain need will NEVER be, with me on it. But Bruce loves his new/old 1973 CB350. We had to buy a new trailer to carry it on & sturdier straps since it’s heavier than Little Joe. But now we are all set.
Bruce filled up the propane tank, topped off the air in the tires, and did lots of other manly things to get Harvey ready. Including last fall putting in a bigger/deeper sink with a taller faucet. Yay! But does this mean I can’t complain about doing dishes now?
I made the beds, cleaned out the inside and loaded it up with all our stuff. We are all set to leave as early as Bruce sees fit tomorrow. The plan is 6 AM but we all know how that goes.
