August 9, 2007
Vacation is over, back to seeing the world. It was a working vacation however. Aimee and I were committed to eliminating one of our two storage units here in Chicago. So most days we spent a couple hours going thru boxes and tossing and donating things we never used in many years. With some pruning and careful repacking we were successful and with a couple days to spare. So we will be a few dollars wealthier every month. We actually made some money too. Aimee got the bright idea to list a couple things on Craig’s List, the on-line garage sale site. She worked it well and she got hard cash for stuff we intended to donate to charity anyway. It was a gold mine for us. Next time I need something I am going to check there first.
We flew back to Seattle bright and early this morning. After retrieving the RV from storage and stowing our gear we headed to Camping World to check the status of our refrigerator part. We got good news and bad news. The part is finally in after six weeks. Unfortunately we can’t get in the shop till August 23. So we are going to do some traveling and circle back here in two weeks. We still need a refrigerator but the cooler and ice didn’t work well for us so we stopped at Wal-Mart and bought a mini-fridge that works on both 12volt and 110 AC. We are spending the night in the Seattle suburb of Issaquah to make sure everything is working well before we hit the road.
