Good Morning!!!! 54F @ 9:30AM. Plentiful sunshine. High 74F. Winds W at 5 to 10 mph.
Made another pass through the accumulated mail yesterday, so a somewhat late start to painting, again. Can you tell I'm less than enthusiastic about painting?
Most of yesterday was spent on prep. Removed the toilet, a large cabinet, both medicine cabinets, a door, a pair of towel bars, and other things, then ran a little Makita palm sander over everything that was painted brown. Rubbed all the dust off with damp paper towels, then masked the baseboards. Only one wall outlet cover plate to remove. By that time it was just too nice to spend all day inside, so I started an oil change on the ProMaster. Let it run for about five minutes to warm the oil a bit, then used the hand pumped oil extractor to suck the oil out of the dip stick tube. That's something of a slow process, so in between I grabbed something to eat got the empty moving boxes unloaded from the trailer. As usual, 4.5 quarts of oil came out of the engine, so 4.5 quarts went back in, along with a new oil filter, all without having to crawl around underneath. Finished up by sweeping out the cargo box and rolling up the big ratchet straps that were used to hold the wood pallet down.
Today I'll get two coats of paint on the bathroom walls, and maybe start boxing up more stuff from the garage. Also check the maintenance schedule on the ProMaster to make sure I'm not missing anything at 15,000 miles.
Hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend...
