Trailer Fenders Update

One of the fenders repaired, repainted and remounted.

 I got pretty close to the original color which did not match the lower trim color.

 

Oregon Coast Trip October 2022

 Tomorrow Randa and I will meet with our long-time friends ( Ten Friends) that we have known for 40 + years.  We are renting a home just north of Depoe Bay, Or.  It's always very refreshing and renewing to be with these folks.  Being at the Coast will make it even better.  Arrival Thursday and return home on Sunday.  Food, fun, food, conversation, food, laughter, probably some tears, (did I mention food?) walks on the beach, naps.  Maybe we will be lucky enough to see a whale that hasn't migrated south yet.  All good things.

  We are so thankful to have this group in our lives.  Stand by for ocean  photos.  

This is from my files.  The views around Depoe Bay are just like this.

Passion Flower

 Fall is definitely here.  Today is probably the last time Oregon will see 70 degrees until next year.  The rain starts tomorrow and is predicted for the next 5 or 6 days.  So today I put the fenders back on the trailer and wax the last small section of the trailer.  It's also time to put the atio furniture into the shed for the winter.  Ugh !  I like taking it out in the spring but not putting it away.  It's like when we are srriving at t new location.  I like setting things up, but I don't enjoy packing up.

   It was 43 this morning and 71 is the predicted high today. But then we are looking forward to days in the 50s the lrest of the week with rain.  The rain is overdue and welcome, but I still prefer summer.  

  Here is a Passion Flower from our fence.  As you can see the blossoms are beautiful.  I ordered a packet of Passion Flower seeds online.  I will plant them in front of the new trellis that I built for the spot where the Dogwood Tree used to be.

 

Working on the Trailer

 One thing about having a RV, or a house for that matter, maintenance is always required.  I guess if you bought a new one every years or so, maybe you could avoid it, that's not feasible.  Being back at our home base allows us time to take care of needed and preventive chores.

   The usual items checked are tires, batteries, appliances. etc.  I have an appointment at Les Schwab to have tires, brakes and wheel bearings checked on Wednesday.  The exterior has been our focus for the last week or so.  The fenders were showing their age by developing cracks and faded paint.  New ones would be expensive if you could even find them.  I removed them epoxied the cracks and found some spray paint that comes close to the original color.  They are ready to reattach when we finish waxing the rig.  This is time when it you just how big the trailer is.  It's also helps you spot any other areas that need attention.  I have found several caulking jobs that will be next on the list.

The fenders will go back on after the waxing is done, because they will need caulking too
