It’s getting cooler. For months we’ve been getting up in the morning and sitting on the deck for morning coffee with the temperature in the 80s. Even if we were up at dawn; still 80 degrees.
Now it has shifted down to the 70s. We’re so acclimated to the hot weather, low 70s feels pretty cool. I will say that daytime temperatures in the high 80s or low 90s is a lot more comfortable than triple digits though. We’ll struggle through the brutal cold mornings to get to those long comfortable days. J
We’ve held off on a few repairs on the bus until we decided what to do with it. Well, we’ve decided to hang on to it and go ahead and take care of a couple projects. Tomorrow we’ll drive the motorhome to Harlingen and drop it off for some body and paint work. It has earned every scar and scratch (as have Judy and I), but we’re going to go ahead and freshen it up a bit (the motorhome, not us). We’ve already replaced the original carpet with a vinyl floor. Next we’ll replace the couch we’ve worn out, and we’ll have to look at new driver and copilot chairs. With all the use they’ve gotten over the last eleven years (August 5th was our motorhome anniversary), they’ve served their time; and besides, whatever we spend on freshening up the rig, that will cost a lot less than buying a newer coach would.
