A pair of aluminum 'Jack Froster' freezer/fridge dishes by Wearever. One still has the contents listed as 'Strawberries 8-17-57'. Not bad for $2 at the thrift store!

I ordered a new motor for the furnace fan. Sigh.

Installed it yesterday! Works great.
Geez those furnaces are hard to work in. I couldn't remove the burner assembly because the copper gas line and fitting were in the way. That made the job take about 5 times as long as it would've otherwise. It took me probably 3.5 hours to do it. It's not a technically difficult job, but wow...there's just almost no clearance for anything.
The worst part is the bolt at the top of the motor. With the burner in the way, there's just not much room to work, so I was constantly fighting with it. If I could've taken the burner out I probably would've been done in 30 minutes, but I think to do that I would have had to cut the gas pipe and re-flare it, which would've meant even MORE problems, like not enough pipe left to make the connection.
I never thought I'd say this, but the furnace in the B190 was far easier to work on than this one is. Hopefully this new motor lasts at least as long as the 18 years the original motor did (it was dated '94 so it's likely it was the original).
At least I had a reasonably nice day to do it - most of the time that kind of problem would crop up when it's 20 degrees outside and it HAS to be fixed.
We also have been buying new door handles for our trailer on the installment plan. We buy 5 every time we go to Lowes and do a few more cabinets each time. Here is our choice - we think the satin nickel makes a nice complement to the aluminum. We just have to figure out what we want to do about hinges yet... (Our old pulls were something like this, but uglier and more annoying because the wooden part pops off and gets lost.)

I purchased Tremco 635 from vintagetrailersupply.com and some polyshim ii from allglassparts.com. Looking forward to fixing my vista views and doing some exterior caulking. Weather should be nice this week in Virginia. Pics to come on the threads for window repair. 1973 ambassador

Installed one of two purchased MaxAir fans. What a pain! The process itself isn't too bad, but removing the old, factory fan via drilling out 50 rivets wasn't exactly fun.
The second one will go a lot faster because I'll cut the openings both on top and inside a little bigger the first time rather than going back trimming time and time again. There's no speeding up the rivet process however. Sigh.

My wife found a nice colored glass bird ornament that we hang on the antenna handle in the trailer when the antenna is up. It looks nice and it reminds us that we need to take it off and lower the antenna before we leave our site.

Guess what y'all?
The Brown Truck Man stopped by today...
Not for the trailer, but for me (will be IN the trailer)- straight from Jackson Center...
Wanderlust- Airstream at 75
A grey fleece Eddie Bauer Airstream hoodie- but I don't own an Eddie Bauer trailer-
The hoodie has Airstream in blue on the left breast area and Eddie Bauer on the left sleeve-
It doesn't have Classic on the sleeve, but it was "on sale"- meaning for sale...price reduced...

I ran across this at the toy store when shopping for my grand nephew. It isn't going to live in the trailer. Instead it will sit on a shelf by the back door of the house to remind me of the trailer and make me smile every time I pass by.

My 3 year old son grabbed this (along with 59 other attempts) - we kept this selection for the tree for obvious reasons - wife was excited

Got one of these candle powered LED lanterns:

I'm supposed to be recovering from SOD (Shiny Object Disorder) but I fell off the wagon. Just too shiny and too cool.

I bought me some placemats today from My Habit for $12 each. I like the fact they are "faux leather" and the red/brown color is perfect!
Here's the link, but I don't know how long the item will be available. My Habit website tends to sell out rather quickly.

I ordered il Progetto a BlueSea battery disconnect switch, the trim pieces for the intake/exhaust for the furnace, and an insect screen for when the furnace isn't operating.

29.99 at home depot today - 2.5 gallon shop vac and bought a great attachment to quickly vacuum floors with it.
Small little thing - good reviews online.
Also bought a few small containers for various small items to store and some rubber non stick mats (like they use in drawers and such) to put in a couple of the storage compartments.
Oh and oh my!! Tastykake is now in Alabama - YES!!!!
