more work

after getting up this morning following a wonderful night's sleep, i headed out to the rv with hair dryer in hand. don't know if i mentioned it, but when we bought the rv it had every sticker known to man stuck all over it. there were numerous flags boasting "God Bless America" plastered on all sides, a huge bull on the back and a bunch of dealer related stickers touting their being the best at everything.

i felt like the griswolds in any of the national lampoon vacation movies. we're down to the final stars and stripes removal. unfortunately, those stripes make a double loop around each side, as well as front and back. i figure there must be about 300 ft. of stripes.

sigh.

so i started scraping. . .and scraping. . .tomorrow i'm picking up a 3M stripe wheel that is supposed to make short work of the rest. i sure hope that is the case because my fingers are permanently scarred from the heated vinyl and adhesive today.

and then all those darn stickers will be gone and we'll blend into the rv ocean. i never thought i would be looking forward to anonymity. i guess i'm just not an extrovert.

tomorrow austin gets his hardware taken out of his arm and hand. that is his last surgery. he started rehab on his knees on tuesday. we're in the final stretch. we're even ready to settle with the attorney.

woohoo!
