I slept well last night and was surprised to find I slept in this
morning! It was after 8:00am when I finally got out of bed. Rylee got me to
take her out when I was up around 3:00am to pee and then she stayed down off
the bed. But soon after that, Quincy had made her way to the bed. When it got
time to get up, she scooted down and Rylee jumped up there to play! I got
dressed and took them out to the field for their run/walk/poop time. I fed them
and then went off to get our breakfast/coffee/tea. Just like old times! The
rest of the day I was dedicated to laundry. I lost count on how many loads I
did. I’m glad that I could dump the clothes basket from the dryer out in front
of Lydia and she was folding everything. I washed all of the towels and
blankets in the motorhome. I still need to bring in the sheets and blankets on
the bed out there but I can do that tomorrow. But I got 90% of everything done
today so I feel pretty good! I fixed us grilled ham and/or roast beef and
cheese sandwiches for dinner. Quick and easy! I took the girls out for a bit
outside but it’s been misting/drizzling most of the day so we came in early. We
watched our programs until bedtime.

Got round
two of the dog walking done early this morning. I put the doggies through their
training for treats each day out there after they have run and played. Of
course, I have to hose off monster puppy because if she is out there with
Quincy, she insists on taking off on her own and going up and down her
‘dragstrip’ of water out in the field! I
made us breakfast and cleaned up and rested for a bit before going out to work
on the Honda. Yesterday I went online and ordered a fuse cutoff switch for when
we tow the car. This wires into the acc fuse box and mounts in the dash and enables
me to switch off the 12v that is running when we tow. This will help keep the
battery from going dead. We’ve only had this happen recently but, on those days
when the battery was dead it was because we towed longer distances, which will
kill the battery - unless I stop every 200 miles and run the car for a few
minutes – which I didn’t do! Duuhh! Normally, we only try to drive only about 250
miles in a day. Some days of this trip
we did over 350! So, today I pulled
everything under the dash just to check it out and see where I can mount it.
There are YouTube videos for everything and I was able to check one out
specifically for my make/model/year. So, I’m ready when the switch gets here. I
also want to replace my electrical cord between the motorhome and car. It’s
been used on three motorhomes now and is patched and fraying and cracking. Time
to replace it. I needed to double check my cord before I go online to order to
make sure I get the right one.
I finished
up my laundry task and that was it for the day. The weather here is gloomy
and/or drizzling. I guess last week we had some significant rain because the
ditch out by the street is filled up and the lawn is really squishy! My carport
guys should be able to work through the day once they get here. The carport is
on level gravel so it should go easily. Still no final date set but I’m in no
hurry.

Not much going on today. I still have two dogs (plus one lady) to take
care of. But they are not a problem. The girls go out to the ‘west forty’ and
run and pee and poop. Then they get their treats – after earning them with a
few tricks each. After I cleaned them up and fed them, I took off to Walmart to
get some bacon and a few other things. After making bacon and eggs for breakfast,
I headed out to the motorhome for a few hours. I still have some Mecum Auctions
- that I had taped out there while on our trip - to watch. Lydia spent the day
kicking back and watching her programs in her office. I got out some salmon and
we had that with some sliced potatoes for dinner. We each watched tv in our rooms
before calling it a night.
