A new record....

 7:27 am - Sunday - November 23rd - TWW - 43° F, humidity 76%, wind 2 mph out of the south by southwest.....heavily overcast this morning, but sun is promised by early afternoon...the forecast high today is 54° F.  On this date in 2021 TLE and I had just arrived at Ocotillo Wells for Thanksgiving.....

The next day

....several of our kids, in-laws, friends, etc. would be arriving the next day.  Our assignment, from my son, was to secure an area for about a dozen RV's.  The view this morning....

When I left off in yesterday's post about Friday I wondered if we could get through Saturday without rain, and we almost did.  At 11 pm, as I was going to bed, it began to rain, and as I write this morning (Sunday) it is sprinkling.  That makes it 4 straight days it has rained here in the high desert somewhere between Kingman and Seligman (elev 5,500').  Going back to when we were in SoCal it has rained 7 of the last 8 days here at TWW....a new record (for us).

We awoke Saturday to blustery winds, high humidity, and cold temps (high 30's).  It was pretty obvious to me that we would be spending a good portion of the day indoors.  The only thing I did outdoors Saturday was to retrieve the Honda EU2000i from the garage to recharge the Bluetti AC200P solar charger battery that powers the trailer.  With virtually no sun the past week the battery had discharged to a point where it powered off itself.  It took a little less than 4 hours to get it back to 100%.  This is the first time this winter we've had to employ the Honda to recharge this battery.  Hopefully, by Sunday, we'll have enough sun to keep it charged via solar input only.  

Other than that TLE and I spent the day indoors reading, and watching college football.  Sadly, my USC Trojans (#15) were not up to the task of winning over the Oregon Ducks (#7).  They made too many mistakes, and lost 42-27.  

All of our off grid systems are working well, but we've had to run the Predator 5000 dual fuel generator longer on the days when there is NO sun, which has been the case pretty much every day since we returned from SoCal.  Things are supposed to return to 'normal' Sunday afternoon, and we should be able to resume working around the property once the ground gets somewhat dryer than it is a present.

Thanks for stopping by!
