RV Maintenance and Winterizing

The rain returned today to us here in Juneau, but at least it is not windy and pouring down rain (yet).  It was a quiet Tuesday, with Neil doing some RV maintenance and Pamela working on some of her Creative Memories projects.  Pamela has her lodging paid at a Disney Resort in Orlando in January for a Creative Memories event, so we used an Alaska Airlines Companion Ticket to get there and back.  We will need a break in the weather by January, whether we are here in Juneau or in Oregon.

After reading one of the blogs that he follows by a fellow RVer  Rick at http://rickpaulettervjournal.blogspot.com/ where Rick checked his RV water heater anode, Neil decided to do the same.  Good thing, as it was nearly eaten away at the top.  He was able to find two on Amazon with free shipping, and they should be here this week.  Neil loves Amazon free shipping, because without it, the shipping would often cost more than the products we order.

The Sacrificial Anode from Our RV Water Heater

We are still enjoying the Stellar's Jays on our deck and around the house.  They will follow Neil through the garden and neighborhood, wanting to be handy if a peanut was to appear.  Neil took a picture of Pamela feeding jays earlier this week, but only got her hand and the bird.  He was informed that was not acceptable, so yesterday when we had some sunshine, we got some more photos of the jays with Pamela.  Just as it should be.

One Jay at Fingertips and One Incoming!

Another thing we did today was update the Apple iTunes software on our computers and updated all of the software on our iPhones in anticipation of the release of the new iPhone operating system (iOS5) on Wednesday.  It is supposed to add a lot of additional features, and Neil is looking forward to downloading it and checking it out.  We will be waiting to upgrade Pamela's phone until November or December, and Neil will wait until Spring, probably.

Thanks for visiting,

Neil and Pamela
