Roberto and his crew showed up at 7:15 this morning to start on washing and waxing the Majestic. That's a big job, and they do hand waxing, so it was 10:40 a.m. when they packed up to go on to their next job in Alamo. The Majestic is squeaky clean and shiny again. That's probably why it decided to rain briefly this afternoon.
While the guys were working on the rig, we tackled some jobs in the Texas room and outside. Ken removed the screws attaching an old lattice work in the back, and we leaned it up against the back of the shed. We still have to dig out the two posts and figure a way to dispose of the thing.
Meanwhile we cleaned out the cabinets and put in shelf liner. It definitely looks better, and I was able to empty the two boxes of china that have been in Ed's attic from 2008 until we picked them up this summer. The sink stopped up when I dumped a pail of water, so that led to a bit of kerfuffle. We don't own a plunger, so we borrowed one from Chuck. He tried to clear the drain, but no luck, so he suggested taking the p-trap apart to check for clogs. We didn't find any clogs, but now we have a small leak under the sink. One thing leads to another....
We were expecting Jan and Steve around 2:00 p.m. Judy came over around 3:00 p.m. to tell us the dinner had been rescheduled to 6:00 p.m. instead of 5:00 p.m. Our friends had a blowout on US 281 outside of Alice. Of course it damaged the skirt, but at least there was no damage to the undercarriage.
They pulled in late, but very happy to be home, and very welcome. The first thing they did was eat some of their delicious tangelos. Then Steve parked the trailer, slotting it right along the edge of the drive.
We finally had our welcome home dinner at Mi Challitas. There were eleven of us: Hal and Dorothy Case, Bob and Pat, Hardy and Judy, Jean, us, and of course the guests of honor, Steve and Jan.
