since Mary left me to return to CA for two high school graduations, a family reunion and general business associated with her home and rental units. This time apart was part of our agreement when we got together approaching three years ago. She has left me several times…but this has been our longest separation since we’ve been together. I’ll meet her in Burlington this evening when she’ll arrive via the shuttle service from SeaTac Airport.
In the time she’s been gone…I’ve stayed plenty busy. I’m an ex-engineer and tend to do a lot of research before I undertake a project or commit to major financial expenditures. Here are some of the things that have kept me busy since Mary has been away…
Despite his working a 60 hour work-week at his place of employment in Monroe…I got my friend and cracker-jack mechanic Mike to put in 12 hours of preventative maintenance on my Ford Bronco II. I was his assistant and gofer. In this photo he is replacing brake pads and hoses as well as greasing the front wheel bearings…
Through friends of Mike I managed to meet a professional body man who put in 12 hours cleaning up the Bronco II very nicely…
I combined and upgraded Mary and my memberships in Thousand Trails RV Resorts into an elite Membership…
Upgraded our motorhome modem and router to Verizon 4G speed…
Bought a new Sony Digital camera…
Bought a new Sony Vaio computer…
Replaced a defective rear view camera on the motorhome…
And got video-interviewed by RVTravel.com…
So…I’ve not been bored while Mary was away. All of these above activities will hopefully contribute to a lot of many more enjoyable days and miles on the road!
