Update

Since we got back from Florida we had a family get together with Becky's family where we camped in her uncle's yard for three days. One of the highlights was making tie dye t-shirts. Becky made one for me while I was in a euchre game.
 Patrick was in charge of making trophies and Becky won third prize for her shirt. Patrick gives her her cowboy hat and a plastic spoon.
 Dinner in a can!
 My niece turned 18 while we were in Florida and I promised I would take her sky diving. So I took her to Skydive Greene County. He tandem master was a cool guy who quit the construction business to be a full time sky diving instructor who travels the country in an RV to whatever school needs an instructor.
 I wished I had brought a better camera than my cellphone so the pictures would have been better but this is what we got.

I gave two apartments 30 day notices to leave before we went to Florida and the plan was to get them cleaned up and ready to rent in the month of August. Only one of those tenants moved and the other I had to file eviction on. In the mean time we got things rolling in the one apartment. I smelled so badly like smoke and the white fridge was yellow after the lady lived there a year.
We painted and cleaned.
 Becky slipped while cleaning the mirror and broke the sink basin so we had to replace that too.

I also got my new chair that I've waited about six months for. It fixes many of my issues but it heavier and larger than the previous versions.
 The old chair.
 The new chair with a custom molded cushion and hard back.


 One of the things Becky lamented when we were traveling was that I had no push handles. Now I have them and they adjust in height and angle. None of my other chairs have push handles and someone asked me why that was and I jokingly said it was because I didn't want anyone pushing me around and he asked why did you get married.
I had hoped we would be back on the road by now but instead we are going to be doing some major work in the next apartment to get it ready for a new renter. The plan is to be out of here by October because the trailer isn't designed for cold weather and neither am I.
