RNO1 - Day 15 - Running downhill

After our Tuesday night/Wednesday morning shift we have officially reached the half way mark of our time here in Sparks, and now we we are 'running downhill' to the completion of our contract with Amazon and our launch date for our dash south to be home  for Christmas.  I'm sitting here looking at the calendar and find it hard to believe Monday will be December 1st.....in the last six months our home on wheels has moved just a shade over 1,000 miles.....our slowest pace since we began our nomadic journey almost 3 years ago....in fact, this Sunday will mark the beginning of our 34th month of that journey, and 46th month living full time in our Newell Coach.  Compared to the journey's of many of our nomadic friends we are still just 'babes in the woods' when it comes to this lifestyle, but it feels like we are 'light years' away from that first day on the road back in February of 2012.  Neither of us can imagine living in a 'sticks and bricks' home again, and, in fact, it gives me a slight case of claustrophobia just thinking about the possibility.  It does not matter where we are, because when we close the curtains every night we are home....it seems so normal and natural to be living in a little over 200 square feet with occasional changes in scenery.  

Tuesday was as warm as it has been for a couple of weeks.....mid 60's during the day which is the equivalent to short pants and t-shirt weather for me.  I had to run over to the local Maverick fuel station to put in a fresh supply of premium unleaded in the VW, and just enjoyed being able to stand out side without a coat on while I pumped the gas.....it doesn't take much to make me happy.....:-)

Our night shift at RNO1 was uneventful....both TLE and I were assigned once again to stow in the Utah Pick Mod, only this time I got to work all night on the 3rd floor.....a new location for me within Utah, and I did like it.  TLE was on the ground floor all night.  We took our two 15 minute breaks in the 'Utah' break room, and lunch in the 'Nevada' break room.  The overnight temps got down to 32, but we escaped any frost on the windshield.

So, three and a half weeks to go in our Amazon 'stint' as TLE refers to it......I wish I had more to offer about Tuesday, but that is about all there was to it.

Thanks for stopping by!
