A few repairs......

 7:21 am - Friday - September 13th - LPG&RVR - 38°F, humidity 68%, wind ZERO mph out of the northeast......crystal clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 79° F.  On this date in 2018 TLE and I were on Cadillac Mountain on Mount Desert Island (Bar Harbor) in Maine watching the sun rise....

Sun rise here in the Pitt River Valley is around 6:40 am now, and within a couple of weeks it will be around 7 am.  During our four day work shift each week it is still very dark when we get up to get ready for work, so sleeping past sunrise is a pretty big deal on days we don't work.  I'm looking forward to waking up with the sun every day this winter.  Oh, and by the way, we have just one month as of today (Friday) before we roll our wheels southward.

Thursday morning we finished taking down the 'dining/gaming' deck, but first TLE needed to make a few repairs to the dining canopy top, as well as the 'lido deck' sun shade, so I pulled her sewing machine out of 'moth balls', and put it on a table between the rear of the Newell, and the trailer.  It's been a little windy of late, and a few of the snaps, and grommets on the sun shade had failed, and there was a small tear in the dining canopy.  Once she had repaired the sun shade I reinstalled 4 snaps, and all 7 grommets.  The top of the shade attaches to the Zip Dee awning roller via snaps, and we secure the bottom with 7 bungy cords attached to metal stakes.

Additionally, I packed away our 'dining/gaming deck' TV, and then the Ozark Trails metal framework/canopy for the trip south.  I then reattached the sun shade to the patio awning, and things were back to normal.....

New grommets

New snaps

The 'dining/gaming deck' is now empty

....I continued working in the trailer to begin moving things around, and stowing other things in preparation for VW insertion in a month.  If I start now I'll have plenty of time to get everything done without having to put in hours of work over a two, or three day period of time.  On the other hand, the BBQ deck is still open for business!

For the first time in a few months we turned on the portable propane fire pit around 5 pm, and sat on the 'lido deck' until sunset, which arrives here at LPG&RVR around 7:05 pm now as the sun dips below the western mountains.....

.....we'll e heading into town in about 30 minutes for my monthly haircut, and our weekly grocery shopping, so time to wrap this up, and bid you adieu for another day.

Thanks for stopping by!
