The high temp for the day Thursday dropped from 88 the prior day to 85.....to me it never felt that warm.....and TLE spent the entire day relaxing and recovering from whatever it is that has been dogging her for the past five days. I, on the other hand, began the arduous task of beginning to put more of our stuff away in anticipation of our departure in the early morning hours of August 28th.....
I began with the 'stuff' under the patio awning that I knew we will not be using anymore this time around (the Coleman stove, toaster, and the table upon which they reside). I was able to get all three of those items in the 'through' basement through storage compartment....I'm really trying to reduce the number of things I put back in the trailer, especially those things that only get used here at TVC. Next I moved into the trailer and began by putting away the Black and Decker 'Workmate' bench, some of the tools I kept on it, put the pancake compressor back in the passenger side engine bay storage, and then stowed the tandem back into its travel place under the workbench.
After all that work it was time for a nap, and then I spent the better part of the afternoon reading outside, and taking cat naps....TLE spent the entire day inside napping and reading, and by evening she was seeing some improvement in her condition. Around 1630 hours I set up the outdoor TV to watch some more pre-season NFL football (Buffalo vs. Cleveland). Finally, around 8 it began to get cool enough that I decided to head back indoors for the evening where I finished my James Lee Burke book (Rain Gods).
Thursday was a good day.....neither of us left the confines of site 426, and TLE never left the confines of the coach.
We are beginning to finalize our travel plan up to Cape Blanco State Park, OR.......last year we made the 554 mile drive in just one night, and two days out of necessity, but this year we will take two nights and three days to cover the same distance......more our travel style.
Thanks for stopping by!
