Waxing the RV

As we all know Turtle (paste) Wax should not be applied to a surface which is in direct sunlight.  I managed to get the "patio" side and back of the trailer waxed but the doggarn Southern California sun hits the "curb side" and front of the rig from day break to sunset.


The problem (if you consider the above picture a problem) is that the Ortega Mountains to our SW are so close to the RV Park that once enough clouds form to diffuse the direct sunlight near dusk, the sun disappears in the wink of an eye and then there are about 4 waxing minutes to get anything done.  Not worth the effort.
    
And so I decided about 2 weeks ago, to just wait for a cloudy day to finish the wax job..  And even that flawless plan has presented problems (again, they may be a problem using the word problem in this context) as seen below.
So what's a guy to do?  Middle of January and I can't seem to catch a single day with a few lousy clouds!  I hope you realize how full of crap I am!  Why is the ground all white in the lower left of the picture above?

  1. Great blog. We are in the Joshua Tree area and really enjoying the sun also. The one advantage about the pineapple express that blew through, it might bring some awesome spring flowers. Unfortunately we are heading north end of April so I just hope we get to see them.
