Deja Vu

After taking a few days off from my own personal Operation Desert Storm, I decided to attack the remainder of the dust in the Beast.  Virtually everything has been removed from the inside and cleaned.  Remaining tasks on the inside when I began this morning:  vacuum the thick layer of dust remaining below each stack of drawers in the bedroom, wash the windows, cut new shelf lining to fit cabinets.  Re-stock.  Remaining tasks now:  Let the dust settle and clean the entire thing all over again.  Tip:  Never ever use a shop vac to vacuum fine dust.  Why?  It just blows it back out of the exhaust and all over everything.  You may be thinking, how dumb is she?  Everyone knows that.  After searching the 4,421 emails in my Inbox, I can confirm that I never got that memo.

It isn't all bad, though.  Clark has been full of useful observations and suggestions (usually as he backs out of the driveway to head to the farm or is getting ready to "get on a call").  Here are a few (my responses in bold):  Get air filters for the engine and generator shipped here and I'll have Kendall put them on when he works on the tires.  Check.  There is red dust all over the a/c vents in the ceiling.  No shit Sherlock.  "We" should probably lubricate the slideouts with that silicone spray in one of the storage bins. "We" doesn't mean "me!"

Anyone want to purchase a motor home?  How about free to a good home? . . . Ok, ok, how much do you want to take it off my hands???
