An exhausting task completed

Last night, after having spent the afternoon at my son's house having a chicken bar-b-que, I decided to call them back up on the phone to see if they'd be interested in helping me wash and wax the rig. Who could pass up a chance like that? ;) Of course, I sweetened the pot a little with the promise of some spendable green stuff.

So, once more I packed up the rig and drove the twenty miles to their very spacious driveway. Andy and I did most of the work while Kelly kept herd on the two active grandsons and prepared lunch for everyone. Washing and waxing the rig is one of those chores that I really have to force myself to do. It's a lot of work, and if I had to do it all myself, it would have taken me days. How nice it was to have family to visit with as we worked. It made the job almost enjoyable....almost.

Thanks for stopping by....talk to you later, Judy

  1. How many times a year do you have to wash and wax your rig? Have you ever stopped and gotten done at a truck stop?

  2. I usually wax it once a year, but I wash it much more often than that...usually whenever I arrive at a volunteer assignment to get the bugs and dirt and grime from the road removed. I've never gotten it done at a truck shop. Do they do waxing?

  3. I can find out from Chad Boettcher. His dad is an over the road trucker and Chad and I met him down at one in Phoenix one night. I think it cost him 150, not sure what that includes though.
