More Shopping and Purging

We took advantage of a sunny Sunday afternoon at home to run RV errands. It's not quite as much fun as actually being in our RV, but it's close.

We made a trip to Camping World to pick up a few odds and ends we've learned we couldn't live without: a 50 to 30 amp adapter, an amber lens cover for our patio light, and a sewer connector. We had a sewer connector we bought on our rental trip. But, it seems there's a "Betamax" and a "VHS" of sewer connectors. We had a VHS and bought sewer hose since that requires the whole thing to be Beta. So, now we're in sync in that department. We also found a "flag" windsock, for which we were desperately searching for our July 4th trip. Better late than never, I suppose. Besides, now we can proudly display our patriotism at the campground any day of the year.

We also stopped by REI to get a bike rack for the beast. Boris did extensive research and found the perfect model for us -- a Yakima that "doubles-down" and holds up to four bikes. That way we have room for our two and a couple of friends.

With the bike rack purchased, we just had to go install it. So, we drove across town to Bullwinkle's place and Boris hooked it up in minutes. We also installed a hitch lock for good measure. We loaded our Camping World purchases inside and bid Bullwinkle farewell. Now we're really looking forward to our next trip. No matter where we go, we're taking the bikes!

With all that shopping behind us, Natasha embarked on a bit more purging after we got home. An over-used dresser drawer or two got the treatment today, and are once again neat and orderly. In there she found her long-lost phone headset. (Good thing, as our state instituted a hands-free law July 1.) Now, she just has to find the headset charger.

Hmmm. Might be time to purge another drawer.
