6:39 am - Sunday - October 27th - TWW - 44° F, humidity 40%, wind 4 mph out of the southeast.....partially cloudy skies today with a forecast high of 79° F.    On this date in 2013 TLE and I were having coffee and pastries at Grounds For Coffee in Ogden, UT.....

....the sunrise this morning....

Saturday was the day I would finally, finally get to drive my recently purchased 1969 Jeep CJ5.  Charles and Phyllis would be arriving mid morning with the keys, and some Amazon/eBay purchases.  In the interim TLE and I got out our popup canopy to install it over the Bluetti battery station to better protect it against the elements, such as rain, and sun.  We'll be acquiring a storage shed in the near future where the Bluetti battery station will be installed, but for now the canopy will suffice.

We also moved the IBC water tote closer to the Newell in preparation for the transfer of water from the 5,000 gallon water tower, which is about 30' away.  Shortly after Charles and Phyllis arrived we hooked up the large transfer hoses, and used gravity to fill the tote with 275 gallons of potable water.  Our onboard fresh water tank (160 gallons) was down to about 70 gallons, so it was time to refill it....

The IBC water tote is full

Pumping water

.....I used a SeaFlo 12 volt water pump I've been carrying around for years as a backup to our house water pump....it really came in handy.  I wired it up to one of the Newell chassis batteries, and within 15 minutes we had added 90 gallons of fresh water to our tank.

Next up was some Jeep time for moi....

At the southwest corner of the property....look at that view!

....it took a bit to get her started as she's been sitting for over 3 weeks, but she finally fired, and does she ever sound sweet with those headers.  I'll take a video today (Sunday) of her running so you can hear that deep resonating rumble.  I took Charles for a ride around the property so he could find each corner of the 40 acre property.  I just locked the front wheels, put her in low range 4 wheel drive and let her idle from corner to corner.

We had an early dinner around 3 pm, and around 5 pm headed out for our first sunset fire with Charles and Phyllis......

......Saturday was also the second game of the 2024 World Series pitting my  Dodgers against the New York Yankees.  When I turned on the game it was in the 5th inning with the Dodgers leading the Yankees 4-1.  Through 8 innings the Dodgers had a 1 hitter going against the Yankees, and ultimately prevailed 4-2 giving them a 2-0 lead in this best 4 out of 7 series.  The team that wins the first two games goes on to win the World Series 80% of the time.....lets hope the Dodgers don't fall into the 20% category.....lol.....

.....thanks for stopping by!
