And Today She Gets Her Wheels Polished!

Working on a back wheel --



And on a front wheel --




Before



After



No doubt about it, Auntie Violet is struttin' tonight! Another fellow came by this morning offering to polish her wheels (I think we must have a mark on our site like the hobos used to have on the mailboxes of houses where they could mooch a meal!). This fellow said they polished semi-truck tires in the spring (to get off the winter's gunk) and in the fall (to seal them before all the winter's gunk...) and then did a circuit of RV Parks in the winter-time.
The two of them spent most of the afternoon working on the wheels. In the meantime we ended up washing all of the inside windows and screens and finally getting the last of the dust off from the ranch and from Quartzite. Then of course had to do all of the mirrors. That led to polishing all of the interior cherrywood with oil -- it was so dried out. Since we had the vacuum out to clean the dust off of the screens, Forry went ahead and did the floors which meant I needed to scrub the kitchen and bathroom tile.
Auntie Violet may be feeling pretty spiffy tonight, but the two of us are tired!
