We were
awake shortly after 8:00 this morning and the only sound we could hear upstairs
was the sound of Sanford walking on the tile floor. As soon as we were dressed and
the bed was made we went upstairs to have our breakfast. We are starting to get
used to where everything is located so we had our lunches made and were out the
door by 9:00.
Since
we still have a lot of things to haul from the Trailer to the Storage Unit
we planned on using the Truck. After
getting Kathy safely buckled in as I turned to put our Supplies in the back seat I noticed the Outer Curbside Dual didn’t look right. A good kick told me what I
already knew, we had a Flat Tire.
Wanting
to get a lot of packing accomplished today we simply took the car. We simply
drove down Tecumseh Road until we turned south on Jefferson Avenue. This road served two purposes, the first was that
it would bring us to the Trailer but
the second was we needed to put gas in the Car
so we stopped at Pioneer gas station.
When
we arrived at Guardian Storage we needed to use the main gate because I’d
forgotten to get the Remote from the
Truck. Even with the delay we were
still inside the Trailer by 10:00.
At
that time of day our Temperature was
only 28 F (-2 C) so Kathy had barely finished opening the curbside slide when I
was getting our Blue Flame Heater
turned on. We worked together today to finish packing things from both the Kitchen and the cabinets that we refer
to as our Office. Kathy emptied the Fridge putting the Condiments we had in our Insulated
Shopping Bags. They will be used while we stay at our daughter’s house. I
worked at packing up the Office Supplies
separating what would be stored and what little we’d bring with us.
We stopped
for lunch around 12:30 for lunch having the Fruit Juice Box, Sandwich
and Yogurt Cup for our dessert.
After
packing for a while things were starting to get crowded so it was time to start
hauling some Boxes out to the Car. Not only was the Backseat and Trunk full but I had a couple of Boxes sitting on the Trunk-Lid
being held in place by the Spoiler.
It was time to go to the Storage Unit.
We
worked together packing away our China and
the Silverware. By the time we
finished that we were both tired and decided to call it a day.
After
adding the last couple of Boxes to the
Storage Unit we stopped at the Office to get a couple of Large Boxes to
use. Most of the packing left to do now is in the Bedroom but not all of it is Clothes.
When we go south for the winter we are able to do our Christmas Shopping for the following year and things we bought last winter will
not find their way to our area until this coming winter.
With
limited space we encourage our children to give us Gift Cards rather then things we would later get rid of. We were
starting to get hungry and we had a Gift
Card for Eastside Mario’s so
that was where we went for supper. We both had Chicken Primavera but immediately divided our plates in Half and took the rest Home with us for another meal. We were comfortably Satisfied but not stuffed.
We
were back at our daughter Karen’s home around 5:00. Even though it was 43 F (6 C) outside the slight breeze we were feeling went right through
us. Once everything was brought in and put away I put my coveralls on and
headed back outside to see why that Outside
Dual on the Truck had gone flat.
After getting the Spare Tire down it
didn’t take long to pull the Flat off
and what I saw was disappointing. There was a split on the Inside Sidewall where it had been pierced probably by a piece of Scrap Metal. The other Duals still have another year’s worth
of tread on them.
After
getting early showers, we’ll both be in bed early tonight. Our plans for
tomorrow will change slightly as well. Thanks for following along, feel free to
leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.

I don't envy your chore but you seem to have it all under control. Bit by bit without wearing yourselves out.
ReplyDeleteHope you two finish getting everything out of the trailer. You need some down time from all that's been happening.
ReplyDeleteI never thought about having to take everything out of my rig. It's a good reason to start culling out the things I don't really need or use. Slow and steady ..... you'll have it done in no time.
ReplyDeleteGood thing the flat tire didn't happen while you were pulling the rig. Although not at the same scale, I do all the packing every spring and fall and know how tiresome that is. At least you are not faced with the dilemma of forgetting something important. And then there is the thorough cleaning of fridge, bathroom etc., so much work.
ReplyDeleteWe all accumulate so much stuff without realizing it, don't we? Good luck with the rest of your packing.
