Dumping Stuff

Taylor, Texas

Weather: low 54 degrees, high 81 degrees, clear skies

Over the last year or so, I accumulated a lot more leveling blocks than we needed. I'm not sure how that happened. because we don't need as many as we had. Today, I went through the blocks and pared what we kept down to what was needed. That means we got rid of another 50 pounds or so of dead weight that we have been dragging down the road. On top of that, we took some old clothes and housewares to a local charity. Before we leave here, we're getting rid of more stuff. I don't know where this stuff comes from. It's almost like it's appearing out of a void.

On top of that, I had a tripod that attaches to the hitch of the RV we used to help steady the old RV when we were set up. We found that the tripod didn't really do as much for us as we expected. It was also heavy and awkward to handle. I stuck it out by the street with a "Free" sign on it. Maybe it'll go away tonight. If it doesn't, it's going to charity. Another 50 pounds or so out the door. Or out of the basement, in this case. If it seems like we're continually trying to get rid of weight from the RV, we are. Especially stuff we don't use. Sometimes, it takes awhile to find out we don't need something.

We did a little more re-arranging of stuff in our cabinets, and will probably continue this process until we get it right. We have plenty of storage. The problem is getting things in the right place, and we're still learning that in this new home.

Our neighbor beside us left this morning. Before he left, he brought over some homemade chocolate candy that he makes. It is outstanding!! How did he know I'm a chocoholic? Thanks, John Brown. See you down the road.

More later, be safe.
