Another failure......

 7:53 am - Thursday - December 10th - Seal Rock, OR - 37° F, 100% humidity, wind - CALM.....heavy overcast today, rain later today with a forecast high of 47° F.  On this date in 2016 we had just arrived in Wittmann, AZ at the property of our good friends Tom and Darlene....I was pulling stuff out of the trailer to enjoy the 'lido deck'.......↴

Once again I was able to work a full shift on Wednesday....that's 9 straight work days I have been able to work after a couple of weeks with too much rain, and too little work.  Our main golf cart has been in the shop for three weeks, but it was returned Tuesday afternoon.  This is the only cart that has a hitch.  Without this golf cart we have not been able to haul a lot of clippings and prunings to the burn pile, so Blake and I spent the first hour catching up on that task.  The final hour was spent scraping loose paint off picnic tables in preparation for paint.  I was home just after TLE.

For the first time since we arrived at Seal Rock I rode my Cannondale Bad Boy two days in succession.  I successfully repeated the same route from Tuesday, but did it one minute faster, and upped my miles per hour to 14.0....a nice improvement.....

.....I'm not sure how I was able to do the ride faster the second day.  The conditions were exactly the same as Tuesday.....no breeze of which to speak, and pretty much the same temp, and time of day.  If the rain holds off Thursday long enough I'll, hopefully, get a third ride in as many days.

On an unexpected note, it appears our Dometic fridge is dying.  We've had it almost 9 years now, and when it was gifted to us by Tom and Darlene it was at least 4 years old.  It has been in almost continuous use over the last 9 years.  Oh well, that has been the story of 2020....it seems all of our major appliances are biting the dust in one 12 month period.  As a stop gap TLE and I drove into the Walmart Wednesday evening and bought a dorm type refrigerator to put the contents of the fridge in until we get it (the Dometic) fixed, or replaced, and we turned the Norcold basement fridge into a freezer, moving all of my beer collection into cardboard boxes in the trailer.  That's life....stuff breaks, and you fix it......

.....since there is no room inside the Newell for a second refrigerator, we set it on a table outside the mid-entry door.  For stuff we need on regular basis we are keeping those items in our small Igloo ice chest in the kitchen.
