Rome wasn't built in a day......

6:25 am - Friday - October 25th - TWW -  42° F, humidity 46%, wind 3 mph out of the south by southeast.....crystal clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 81° F.  On this date in 2013 TLE and I were brewery hopping in Idaho Falls, ID.....Snow Eagle Brewing (1st picture), and Idaho Brewing Company (2nd picture)......

We were up early (before 7 am), and outside by 7:30 'limbing up' the numerous juniper trees in the yard on the driver side of the Newell......

Until I took these pictures this morning I did not realize how much we cut...there will be a lot of good firewood when we're done

,

.....plus we tilted the rear solar panels a little bit higher on the Newell....

.....and moved the solar generating station/solar panels closer to the driveway to get continuous sun all day long.  We were only getting 2-3 hours where we set them up originally....

....around 11:30 am we drove into town to check out the hardware store, the general store, and the laundromat (in case we need to use it in the future), and had lunch at a local hot spot with alfresco dining.....the hardware store, by the way, is really quite adequate.  It is like a small ACE Hardware....they had everything I needed.....

....I know some of you are thinking "Why isn't he telling us what town, and what restaurant?", and I don't blame you for wondering.  We decided a long time ago we would not reveal our exact location this winter in order to protect the privacy of Charles and Phyllis.  If they should decide at a later date that it is okay, then you will be the first to know.

We were back home around 3 pm, and I busied myself with a couple of DIY projects, which included making up a 20 amp cord  to use around our site.  I'll fill you in later for what it will be used.

Around 5:15 pm I got out our portable firepit, and set it up down the driveway for our first sunset fire in ages.  We were treated to another spectacular sunset.....I took a lot pictures, so enjoy them......

The entire sky lit up....looking northeast

....about this point we thought it was over (below).....

.....but then the sky lit up again (below)......

.....we accomplished a lot Thursday, for two old farts, and we need to keep reminding ourselves we're not 19 anymore.  We took a lot of breaks.  We'll be here 6 months, so we don't have to 'build Rome in a day' as they say.

Thanks for stopping by!
