OK, Sharlotte Kinda Caught me... The Floor is... Almost

...Finished :-) actually I cheated a mite on that floor pic of the other day...

The transition in the pic of the other day is just temporarily laid in place, for the pic, while I finish up 'experiments' to see which-a-way I'm gonna seam the 4' long vinyl Cove Base pieces...

There's Three pieces the length of the RV Slide... and two more pieces rounding the corner at each end... so ... 6 lil' butt joints I have to make... Just securing 'em down, in place would probably be just fine... but I'd like to try and 'stick' those ends together first... if I can find a workable way...

I'm testing a polyurethane adhesive and a silicone caulk/adhesive I've used a lot before... as soon as they cure to see which is gonna hold better I'll screw it in place with a trim screw/finish washer combo.

Once that's done... and the oak shoe base is finished around the edges I'll put my oak desk in place... that will be my RV Desk "writing throne" and RV leather tooling bench...

I also need to fabricate the "box" to close in the compartment door that opens behind where the new Dual Recliner sits...

In the old layout... that door opened to the space under the old jacknife couch... and was source of cold drafts to boot...

I've got some baltic birch ply I'll shape a shallow compartment out of, that will fasten to the wall around that opening, and seal the drafts coming off that door in cold weather...

If I'm clever enough I can maintain a place to store the umbilical cord... and maybe a water hose...

I've made progress... but still no shortage of work to do... but it'll mostly wait now 'cause we leave in a couple days on our Tucson circle...

and yes Sharlotte... I'll be on here, all along the way! Heidi laughs at me any more... if I'm away from my keyboard more than 6 or 8 hours... I start shakin' an' twitchin'... and mumblin'; "gotta make a post... gotta make a post!" :-)

... yes ma'am... this hyar electronical confabulation has become a part of my anatomy! Makes it hard to sit sometimes! :-)

and that's plenty OK with me... all the different parts of this writin' gig have become such an un-adulterated, and un-expected pleasure to me, that I'm in that place I've always wanted to be... at least a lil' bit... that; "I can't believe they pay me to do this" place... Sweet!

as always... this time of the week, I got to start warmin' up my hardware sellin' parts... though... the way things are goin'... I can see a tiny, lil', light off in the distance...

It appears I'm doin' something right... the trick now is to keep on doin'... whatever 'that' is! :-) hopefully, that's just bein' me... 'cause if'n I got to remember somethin' else... I could be in trouble. :-)

Yesterday finished up the biggest month - ever - for the number of visitors, visits and page views, for this site... Suh-WEET! Many Thanks to ever'body who has stopped by...

I've got more 'plans' cookin'... to polish things up a bit more 'round here... if I can just get the bosses to make a day 'bout 3 hours longer... I might get 'em built quicker! :-)

But then... we had supper with some friends last night... and they talked me into climbin' on one of those Wii gizmos... the missus of the pair made me do this 'balance test' routine... which somehow is supposed to tell you how healthy you are...

...and according to that thing... I need to lose 22 lbs... and that I'm 'bout as healthy as some feller that's 69! uh.... one thing... If I lose 22 lbs... I'm gonna have to go back to buyin' in the kids department at wally world... there just ain' that much of 'Me'... to carve off that much!

... and healthy as a 69 year old?

baloney!

I've got it from a ree-liable source, that my health is as good as any 236 year old oughta be!

Ya see... there's regular people years... there's soldier years... and there's cowboy years....

Regular years are 1:1 ... Cowboy years run about like dog years, 7:1... and soldier years are kinda variable... but can average 'bout 11:1 depending on 'Your' situation... I'm at the high end! :-)

so... when you calculate it all out... how many regl'ar years I've had, how many soldier years... and how many cowboy years... Ya come up with a 'biological age fo 236! :-)

So... I think I look purty darn good... all things considered!

Take Good Care
Brian
