Today I got my RV into All RV Service Center in Tucson.
I needed to get this roof vent
replaced!
....as well as a shorted-out turn signal in the rear driver's side that I had previously *fixed*, and needed to get the batteries checked because when I went to start up to leave this morning the engine complained.... alot!... and would not start. This was the 3rd time in 3000+ miles. We arrived about 10 am, brother and s-i-l enjoying the ride.
The guys at the service center did a good job. They had the roof vent and the arm and it was installed quickly. Good thing I had them check the batteries, as one was dead and 2 were "compromised". So, new roof vent and 3 new batteries.
They checked the turn signal and it was badly corroded, which I knew, and they had to replace the whole thing as the turn-signal/tail-light comes as a sealed unit. No biggy, as I was sure it was as old as the rv itself. And I had them check the other side as well. I didn't want trouble down the road. Yep, it was corroded also.
So, new roof vent and arm, 3 new batteries, 2 new turn-signal/tail-light units, and 4 hrs later we got back to the *ranch*.
Carol started on linner (lunch/dinner) while I got Miss Izzy and Curley Joe out for a walk. We had hamburgers and Texas fries! Oh they were so good! We had not eaten much that morning and were hungry!
After that, true to my committment, I got my painting stuff set out. Barely dipped the brush in the turp when the phone rang. I almost didn't answer it .. but decided to. It was daughter #3 telling me about the awesome advancment in her job. Whoo-hoo! A company car and a gas card!!! She does alot of traveling working for Visiting*Angels. I was so happy for her, and glad I had taken the call.
Back to painting, determined..... pressing on.
I decided my theme would be about my experiences while RV'ing this winter.
So here it is And I accomplished Day 1 !!
"In the Beginning ... Winnebago Winnie"
3.75 x 4.75 Oil on stretched canvas
and now I am finishing the other half of my other daily committment. Thanks for stopping by!
Stay safe out there!

I'm so happy you had the repairs done and the batteries checked and replaced. I know where All RV is. did you have much trouble getting into the place?
Looking forward to meeting you Friday.
Oh and I love your painting.
So glad you got the RV all fixed and ready to go, I was wondering if you had named her, and If so did I miss it. We have a 1991 van that we use occasionally, and we have named her Nellie Belle. I just love your painting, and am looking forward to seeing what else you do. I know I have told you before, but I must say it again, You are so gifted with your hands, I truly admire people who have this gift, I must have been sleeping when talents like this were given. lol
Continue to enjoy your visit,and I pray God's protecting hand on you as you travel.
Hugs,
Sue
What a perfectly delight theme for the painting. I'll be eager to follow and it certainly will give you something to post each day!!! Sorry about the additional costs on the RV but thankful they were found out now and not when you were out in the boondocks somewhere.
Glad your vent is fixed and you have some time to paint...enjoy!
Love you painting,,,I will watch everyday for more...to "help" you along with your committment lol
Lovely, glad you were able to do Day 1! Sis called me right after she was done talking to you - so excited for her! Miss you, been reading your posts so keep them coming!
Sunny, so glad you got all those things taken care of on your RV. It's nice when things work like they are supposed to, isn't it?
Congratulations to your daughter on her advancement -- and to you for getting the painting done!
That picture looks almost like a photograph! Great job! It shure has been fun running around in the RV. Ok, Lord, I will accept one any time!
I was so surprised with the amount of pickup your RV has! 0 to 60 in 5.43 seconds! That thing blazes!
(Ummmm...Why are you centering all the text?)
I'm catching up. I've had such little time to read blogs lately. I really like the Winnie painting - that's really cool! I'm so glad you made this trip. Sounds like you are taking advantage of life :-)
