Sunday, May 23, 2021 – Pack Up Day, Washer on the Fritz

Hi Sweetie,
Had an excellent night sleep for a change last night, woke up refreshed and ready to get to work, and promptly did so. Spent the morning housekeeping, including some long overdue items like the black marks around the bedroom window, not sure what it was and wasn’t sure they would come off, but I managed to make it look like new! Did a pretty thorough clean, including flushing out the black water tank again, and was doing laundry when for some reason it quit. I was getting an error indicating it wasn’t getting water, and I did, in fact, turn it off once while I was flushing the tank, but usually once I turn it on again, it resumes with not problem. Not so this time! I spent some time trying to figure out what it was, whether the pump has gone again or if it’s something else, maybe something jammed, but I’m hoping once we hit the road tomorrow it will unjam and miraculously fix itself. Otherwise, I’ve got probably an expensive repair to do! Or a replacement, which will be even worse! Fingers crossed! Anyway, that kept me busy most of the afternoon, until it really got too hot to do anything, so I relaxed a bit until the sun was getting low, then I fed the horses and put them on the highline, took the fence down, cleaned up the yard and lined up the truck with the trailer so I only need to drop it down in the morning. I’ve opened up the jack to see if it needs more oil in it, it’s squeaked a couple of times and I’ve been meaning to look at it. It might just be from sitting in one position for so long, because it seems to have been better the last couple of times I used it, but better safe than sorry. It’s about a three-hour drive to Loretta’s, but I’m taking a slightly indirect route, because the direct route looks like it’s on nothing but back roads with dubious windy narrow turns, and I’d rather take at least US highways, which will take slightly longer but be safer. At any rate, I don’t have to leave at the crack of dawn, though I wouldn’t mind getting there before the heat of the day, since it’s going to be a hot one tomorrow! Once I got some more stuff put away, I went over to visit with my Indiana neighbors for a bit until it got dark, then came back to finish off what I could inside. Ready for shower and bed, at least I got my sheets washed and dried before the machine quit! Good night, babe! Love you!
