Wishy Washy Window Clean

I have to admit, we are tending to be lazy on those sunny California days. And surprisingly, the day temps are climbing into the 80F-range (28-29C). Most years, while approaching Christmas, the temps stayed significantly lower. So today we crept up into the shade behind the motorhome, and pretty soon our next-door neighbours came over for a chat as well. Always nice to have a social get-together.

But before settling down in the shade, I took on a little project which had been on my mind for days. I really hate it when windows are dirty and our big windshield was plastered with dead insects and road dirt.  I had borrowed a long stand-up ladder from one of our neighbours and with the ladder at hand, there really wasn't any excuse for not cleaning those windows. With soapy water I went about it scrubbing off those smashed insects. It was a much bigger job than anticipated. I'm always having problems getting windshields really clean without leaving greyish streaks across the glass. After I thought I was done, Bea took out some wondrous stuff from her cleaning supplies and went all over it again ---- of course she got more dark stuff off it. 

 

So for our next move to the dumping station in Holtville I have the luxury of a gleaming squeaky clean windshield.

When we went to COSTCO on Tuesday, we had bought one of their signature rotisserie chickens at $4.99.

I had put that chicken on our smoker BBQ to give it more taste and also to make sure it really is fully cooked. Some times those COSTCO chickens are not fully cooked. We now have gotten three meals out of it, plus a nice chicken salad. Can't complain about the pricing.

Some time next week we will go to Yuma for some errands and seeing friends.

  1. That sure looks like a Beaver Monterey to me. Around 2006 vintage. We had a quad-slide Laguna 40 for 8 years, it was the Everglades paint scheme with a maple interior. Great bus, best one we ever had actually. Cheers!

    1. Ours is a Beaver Santiam, basically the same as a Monaco Diplomat.
