The weather window....

 7:34 am - Tuesday - January 27th - TWW - 20° F, humidity 21%, cloud cover 5%, wind 6 mph out of the east.....crystal clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 55° F.  The view this morning......

.....and on this date in 2013 TLE and I were watching our 31st sunset in Cedar Key, FL.....


....this time from one of the boat docks at Sunset Isle RV Park.

The outside temp finally climbed back into the 50's Monday, so TLE and I decided to finish the new RV site for Phyllis' Newell....at least finish covering the underlayment completely, and then releveling everything.  It only took one bucket load of gravel to finalize our work....

Looking northeast

Looking southwest...you can see the rear of our Newell 
in the upper left of the picture above

....now we just need to dump a couple of bucket loads of straight gravel to complete it...almost there, and it looks great!

That was the extent of our labors Monday, but by the time we were finished putting things away it was near 2 pm.  The working window here at TWW this time of year when it is at its warmest is about 2-3 hours, so we try to get as much done as possible within that weather window.  Once again, special thanks to The Lovely Elaine for her help in loading the gravel in the Ford 420 bucket, and then raking it level  after I dumped it.....she is a trooper!

The sun has moved considerably higher into the sky in a northerly direction since the solstice in late December, and as a result our sunsets are arriving much later....today's will be close to 6 pm, with sunrises occurring a little earlier (of course).....today's sunrise was at 7:35 am.  Soon the EcoWorthy dual axis solar tracker will tilt (tilted at 8:10 am....the earliest since early November) eastward to face the rising sun, and follow it as it moves hour by hour toward the western horizon, thereby recharging our Bluetti battery bank in the shed.  Today, January 27th marks the end of our 3rd month here at TWW leaving us just 3 more months until our annual northward migration begins again.  We've now watched 9 episodes of Season 1 of Landman, and are loving it!

Thanks for stopping by!
