Blazing Weekend

Somehow this weekend is going by entirely too quickly and the saddest part is that it has been ride free so far.  I spent most of the day working on the Airstream yesterday...

The first thing on the agenda was to try and winterize the tin can.  I drained all the water out of the tanks and then  also drained the water heater.  The black tank is still full but that will just require a quick trip to the dump station somewhere.  I still need to blow out the remaining water in the lines and water pump and I am debating whether or not to run RV antifreeze through the system.  I have mixed thoughts about it as I have heard that it takes a while to get ride of that taste in the potable water.

It needed a quick cleaning before starting on the long to do list.  After vacuuming and a light sanding to the cabinets, it was time to apply a quick coat of poly.  I managed to get one coat of poly on as well as a coat of paint on stuff that needed to be touched up and a couple of areas where the cabinets are MDF.  Today will be about applying a second coat and trying to also apply touch ups to a few remaining areas.  It will probably be a week before all the painting is done.  Getting into tight spaces with lots of angles while trying not to get paint where it should not go is just plain time consuming.  Once that is all done, it will be time to start thinking about putting the floor down...hopefully sometime this week if I can get on a roll with the painting.

Meanwhile, the dogs are enjoying the last of our nice weather days.  They are having a killer week as they even got dinner twice on Friday.  A mix up between the missus' and I ended up in them getting dinner twice on Friday evening.  The funny thing is that they acted hungry when I got home just after they had their second dinner...you would think they were starved!
They seem to have a lot more energy and keep wanting to go outside to tire each other out.  It is good to see them rollicking in good times.  They would typically spar for a round then re-charge their batteries for the next round...
They got to the point where they were too tired to chase each other so they played from the lying down position:
They eventually tired themselves out:
it made for the happy dog smile:
