My comfort home....or something like that

Believe it or not, I feel pretty good this morn'n. That don't mean I'm gonna put my walk'n shoes on an' go for a walk, or jump on the "billy bike" an' go for a ride. Oh hell no, ain't gonna do none that.

First phase of converting "Sally da house" into a "comfort home" has been accomplished. Yesterday I ordered a gel memory foam topper for my bed. Be here in bout a week. Of course I ordered it from Amazon, my favorite online shop'n store. They got everthing. Will it help my back??? Hell, I don't know. If it don't, there's a dumpster just down the road a piece.

Then I was look'n at wall hugger swivel recliners. Got it in my mind to remove this uncomfortable back ache'n couch an' replace it with something I can lay back in, prop up my feet in an' sip me up a cup....comfortably. Not yet certain this is what I'm gonna do, but I'm think'n bout it.

Boy howdy let me tell ya, Texas is some kind of hot. I was gonna go outside an' change that pressure switch thingy (rotten green switch). I open the door an' holy crap, I ain't go'n out there. It were 104 degrees....accord'n to my Walmart special temperature thingy.
Much later in the evening, the temp drop to a workable level, an' I go change that pressure switch. It weren't the one I thought it would be (RGS) under the hood thingy, it were the one way up under "da house". Replaced all the missing fluid what got lost....all is good to go. It works.....yeee haw!!!

Fix an' adjust my awning an' I be road ready again. Ain't likely I'm gonna be run'n round Texas in this heat, so I ain't in no hurry. Yeah I been watch'n the temps. I should be in Alabama with the OFM Barney with all my winders wide open.

So this is where I am at today....stuck in Sinton, Texas.

  2. Good idea about measuring the door. Bet you would be p**** if you got the wonderful chair and had to tear a hole in the roof to get it in.

  4. I too added a 2 in Memory foam topper, couldn't stand the orginal matterss. Really helped my back. Hope yours works as well for you. You got wheels on that RV for a purpose. It's 72 degrees outside in Ft Wayne Indiana. OFM is enjoying the temperatures in Decatur, AL.

    Remember the Roadrunner & Coyote cartoons? Remember the coyote going to the Acme Manufacturing catalog when he needed a rocket motor or giant sling shot or big old safe? Acme had everything too!
    I think that's where Amazon got the idea... :)
