7:17 am - Wednesday - April 2nd - TWW - 35° F, humidity 52%, wind 10 mph out of the south....crystal clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 46° F. Was supposed to be raining this morning, but now it might rain late this afternoon for an hour. On this date in 2021 TLE and I were at Seal Rocks RV Cove, OR enjoying the morning view of the Pacific Ocean from our 'lido deck'.....
....an unusually dry, clear day for April on the Oregon Coast.
We had a need to restock our pantry, so we headed for Flagstaff around 10:00 am to do just that. Of course, any visit to Flagstaff means a stop at Savers Thrift Store, which has to be our favorite thrift store ever. I'm pretty sure we have never left that store without something with which we could not live....lol. We arrived at Savers around 11:30 am, and spent the better part of an hour browsing. TLE found a couple of Skorts (shorts/skirt), a flannel shirt, and a couple of dresses. I found a 'T' square, another pair of suspenders (Duluth Trading), a battery powered clock for the trailer, and three shirts (2 long sleeve, and one short sleeve). With it being Seniors Day (10% discount), 3 items with 'yellow tags (50% off marked price), and the 30% discount coupon in our digital account there we saved over $47 off their always great prices.
Next we headed to the local Home Depot, which is just 3 blocks from Savers, to restock a few of my trailer supplies (things I keep on hand all the time). I bought 1 gallon cans of Acetone, Naphtha (mineral spirits), WD-40, as well as some angle aluminum, masking tape, and two sided tape. My inventory of all these items was near zero. Additionally, I bought an LED shop light for the CONEXT, and 1 gallon jugs of coolant and 15-40w motor oil for our truck.
From there we had planned to head to 'The Lumberyard' Brewing Company for a latish lunch, but decided to do our food shopping first at Fry's, then head to lunch around 2 pm. That turned out to be a very fortuitous decision. Why? Well, when we exited the store a little after 2 pm it was snowing quite hard, so we aborted the lunch, and headed directly to I-40 to get down to a lower altitude ASAP! We almost always defer grocery shopping to the last thing we do before we head home since we are often buying produce, and other perishable items needing refrigeration in a short amount of time. Within a few miles the snow had stopped, and we were back into sunshine, and mostly clear skies. We arrived back at TWW without incident around 3:45 pm to, again, mostly clear skies, and lots of sun....completely different weather than Flagstaff.
Thanks for stopping by!
