It was a cold start to the day when the OFM woke up. He is not a cold weather type of guy. Out came the electric heater and in a few minutes the world got to looking and feeling a lot better. The Teams preferred inside temp is about 70F.

Soon the dreary rain started and not soon after we were once again camped in a rice paddy.



So the OFM piddled a little here and there. Then he went to work cleaning the Castle. Washing desert dust off lots of the cabinets and appliances was the first effort. Then the shop vac came out and removed more dirt from the floor and upholstered parts of the Castle. The tools were put back in storage.

He sat down at the dining room table next to the big window and noticed the MUD in the sliding window channel. Good Grief! A damp sponge wiped the channel sort of. The mud took several times of wiping and rinsing the sponge. The more he cleaned the more that showed up to be cleaned. About 78 hours later (20 minutes) it was all clean. It was amazing how much desert dust the same color as the window frame could accumulate. But it is all gone now.

And that was about it for a day of trying to have tooooo much fun on a COLD and raining day.
