Sunbrella....

8:46 am - Monday - January 24th - Newell House, AZ - 43° F, 57% humidity, wind 3 mph out of the east.....crystal clear, blue skies today with a forecast high of 67° F.  On this date in 2013 TLE and I were watching our 28th Cedar Key sunset......↴

TLE and I have been doing five laps around Newell House a couple of times a day for the past three days for exercise.  If we follow the fence line around the backyard where Newell House is and do just over five laps we hit 1 mile exactly.....

Great power walk!

....in our afternoon fast walk we covered the 1 mile in 15 minutes and 24 seconds at an average pace of 3.9 mph, and consumed around 180 caloric units in the process....our best effort so far.  

In the morning we watched another complete English Premier soccer match, and caught up on a few YouTube channels we follow such as Gone with the Wynns.  Nikki and Jason Wynn (35 and 36 respectively) originally started their YouTube channel in their 20's with video content of their full time RV life/nomadic lifestyle, but transitioned to full time sailors aboard their catamaran 'Curiosity'  four, or five years ago.  With nearly 500,000 followers, and a 6 figure annual income, theirs is one of the more successful YouTube channels out there.  They have been traveling in the South Pacific for several years now, and now find themselves in New Zealand.  The production quality of their channel is very high, and we enjoy their weekly videos about their lives at sea which are released most every Sunday.

Curiosity

After the completion of the soccer match we redeployed the patio awning, and sun shade, and then I spent some time with my silicone caulk gun patching a few seams from which the 40 year old thread had separated.  If only the thread which binds the Sunbrella fabric panels together on these ZipDee awnings was as tough as the Sunbrella fabric itself!  We were first introduced to Sunbrella when we owned a 1973 Columbia 26' sailboat for about 12 years from 1992 to 2004 at which time we sold the Columbia, and transitioned to the RV world.  The sail bags, and main sail covers were made from blue Sunbrella, a silicone based fabric, which never fades, and seems impervious to ultra violet damage.

Other than the ZipDee repair work I took it easy again Sunday.  For dinner we enjoyed interesting conversation, and a pleasant dinner of pot roast with Tom and Darlene prepared by the loving hands of TLE.
