The 'lido deck', the trailer and other things......

 7:46 am - Wednesday - October 25th - GNHS - 62° F, humidity 62%, wind 7 mph out of the southeast....crystal clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 87° F.  On this date in 2020 TLE were enjoying a spectacular sunset at Seal Rocks RV Cove....one of the things I miss about our time on the Oregon Coast.......↴


The rain, the park, and other things...Cowsills

At last!  The day when I would begin to really focus on getting our 'lido deck' set up, and the trailer interior organized for the next six months arrived!  We are off until Thursday when we have our first rental of the season, and it was only going to be 85° F, so no excuses.  There was one minor work related item that I did take care of first thing....install a new LED light in the office.  The old fluorescent light fixture ballast (powers the fluorescent tubes) gave up the ghost right at the end of last season, and we didn't have time to deal with it then, so we made do with less light, but this season it needed to be fixed.  I talked with Kyle on Monday, and he said he thought they had a couple of unused LED fixtures, so he brought one over late Monday.  It took me about an hour Tuesday morning to wire it up, and install it.....



...once that task was done I was free to get down to business, and spent the next 3-4 hours, first setting up the two tables upon which my tool bags, and our overflow pantry items reside whilst we are stationary, then pulling the bicycles out of their stowed positions, attaching their front wheels, and moving them to the back of the trailer interior.  I'm about 98% done with the trailer interior now.....



....I still need to pull out the Adirondack chairs, and a couple of other things, but for now it is much less chaotic.

Kyle also delivered a picnic table for us to use, and I set up our third folding table upon which resides our Sea-B-Que BBQ.  TLE wanted me to grill a London Broil for dinner, so I was more than eager to get the grilling station ready for that.  Additionally, TLE pulled out all of our 'lido deck' rope lights.  I managed to get three strings deployed before the temps got a little too warm for my liking....we are surrounded by asphalt, and it absorbs, and holds a lot of heat making it feel much warmer in and around our 'lido deck' than the forecast 85° F....



.....we're still not sure about the placement of the Ozark Trails canopy, but for now it will remain in its current location.

That is as far as I got with the 'lido deck', but our picnic table is full of reminders of the things I still need to deploy.

Thanks for stopping by!
