Isn't she lovely

Okay! I'm finally finished with waxing the entire mo-ho for the second time this year! Damn! that's a lot of work! You think a car is a job, try a 35 ft mo-ho!

But isn't it perrrtty!
I swear, the previous owners didn't do a thing while they owned it, so it's taken a bit to return it to how it should look. The good news is every time you wax it, it looks better, the bad news is you gotta keep waxing it! But now, it looks almost as good as new, and it's 7 years old. I use Turtle Wax, it's the best of everything I've tried. It cleans and waxes.
In other news, it's still tooo damn cold for this time of year, but it's due for a warm-up this week. I also sprayed the lawn for weeds, and Craig mowed the grass, and vacuumed the house. And he's currently making another delicious dinner! Ham steak with mashed potatoes and gravy and steamed broccoli with cheese sauce. Yummy!

Clean again!

Today's mission........clean and seal the roof of the mo-ho.
And that I did. Of course, first I cleaned the Salon, then woke Craig up, read the paper with home made Latte's, and then did some weeding in the garden, and then when it finally warmed up a bit, cleaned and sealed the roof of the mo-ho. Here's a before pic.

Isn't it interesting how the antenna left a dirt imprint on the roof?
But not after it's cleaned! And doesn't it look fabulus!

So after I got the roof cleaned and sealed, I washed some of the mo-ho, and did some more waxing. Damn! it's looking good! I also sprayed weeds while Craig did bookwork, laundry, and prepared our dinner for this evening, a Pork Roast with Carrots, Potatoes, and Sauerkraut! Can't wait!

To damn cold and wet

Greetings from a cold Lansing. This pic is the jet streams position this weekend. As you can see, it dips down right over Michigan.
It's been pretty much in this position all summer. That's why July was an average of 3 degrees cooler than normal. Now 3 degrees doesn't seem like much, but if you have a few days normal or above normal, that makes the rest of the days way below normal. Yesterday's high was 63. Today's high is forecast for 65. This is more like late September weather. On an up note, the grass has never looked better, and we've hardly used the air conditioner this year, so good on the utility bills. And our normal rainfall for the month of August is 3.46 inches, so far we've gotten 6.41 inches.
But in other news, it's been a so-so week at the salon. steady, but not real busy. And yesterday after work, (when the rain finally stopped) I got some more veggies from the garden.

The Tomatoes and Peppers went into our Spaghetti sauce for dinner yesterday, and the Potatoes will be added to a Pork Roast Sunday.
Now it's time to get ready for work.

funny friday

Recently, a large corporation hired several cannibals to increase their diversity.
"You are all part of our team now," said the Human Resources rep during the welcome briefing. "You get all the usual benefits and you can go to the cafeteria for something to eat, but please don't eat any employees."
The cannibals promised they would not. Four weeks later their boss remarked,
"You're all working very hard and I'm satisfied with your work. We have noticed a marked INCREASE in the whole company's performance. However, one of our secretaries has disappeared. Do any of you know what happened to her?"
The cannibals all shook their heads no. After the boss left, the leader of the cannibals said to the others, "Which one of you idiots ate the secretary?" A hand rose hesitantly.
"You fool!"
the leader continued.
"For four weeks we've been eating managers and no one noticed anything.
But NOOOooo, you had to go and eat someone who actually does something
."

Have a great weekend!

Just more talk

Good morning from a wet Mid-Michigan.
Well our latest heat wave lasted two days, and now were back into the cooler wet weather The grass has never looked this good in August!
We did manage to mow the yard, and wash and wax more of the mo-ho. This coming weekend, I hope to clean the mo-ho roof, and retreat it. While I was washing the mo-ho, I discovered that a mess of those nasty purple berries that we dealt with in Holly, have stuck them selves to the roof and came home with us. So I should get them off, and while I'm at it give it a good cleaning and reseal it.
My veggie garden is doing terrible. Although we have had some tomatoes, and dug Potatoes, all the squash is doing poorly. The Zucchini vines withered and died, and the Butternut and Acorn squash vines look wimpy with a total of 4 small squash slowly ripening. And I'm getting what looks like 1 pepper on each of my pepper plants. Next year I need to do all this different.
Well, I've got a long day today at work. I start at 8am. and go to about 7pm, so I need to jump in the shower and go.
See ya Friday!
