Before we entered the deep freeze for a few days, we had an outdoor chore to complete. Friday or Saturday would have been the right timing but there is no sense working in 4° on Friday when I could work in 41° on Tuesday.
What is that chore? It is emptying the holding tanks, otherwise known as doing the work of the evangelist.
I do not have a receptacle for emptying the black holding tank inside the barn so after 20-21 days, we need to pull outside and take care of that task.
We are very rarely home that many days in a row, so it is really not that big of a problem.
It has been cold in the barn so I turned on the engine block heater for a few hours. The big Detroit fired right up like it should. That always brings a smile to my face.
I have a short length of rubber exhaust hose that I clamp onto the bus exhaust when I start the bus in the barn. It reaches out the big overhead door and about 3 feet away from the door. That helps us to prevent smoking up the barn.
KJo drove the bus in and out of the barn and helped with the work too. I would say we were finished in about 30 minutes with no injuries and no frostbite.
We were praising God for sunshine along with 41°! By the time you read this we will be sliding into very cold temperatures. I will stay inside as much as possible.
Thank you for stopping by.
