I realized time for for Tent wash has arrived – after 10+ years of services – during last camping – our poor tent got soiled and dirty; plus it was not properly dried before getting packed after last use causing molds and its murky smells

After emergency treatment during last camping, I finally washed with wax based shampoo and odor removal with my bare feet in our bath tub ๐Ÿ™‚

After dry out which was tricky due to tent not being single layer nor straight – had to rely on 2 days of sonlights plus one night of in door to finally make it dried up ๐Ÿ™‚

Now I believe this is re-usable.. ๐Ÿ™‚

We finally had a parting moment with our lovely family car Odyssey after 17 years from the moment we brought it home. We had lots of fun and too many adorable memories attached to this mini van which never hesitated to drive us all around the places we went and acumulated 210k miles afterwards.

Now The Oddy is on new owners hand – hopefully serving their needs in, maybe, few remaining years of its life. ๐Ÿ™‚ One big milestone or end of chapter for our families bittersweet – ToT
