Short timers......

6:37 pm - Sunday - August 6th - LPG&RVR - 80° F, humidity 28%, wind 12 mph out of the northwest....crystal clear, blue, sunny skies today with a now realized high of 82° F.  On this date in 2015 my daughter, Meredith, paid us a surprise visit in South Lake Tahoe......↴


Ahhhh.....finally, I am writing about Saturday on Sunday instead of Monday....lol!

In keeping with our recent weekend history here at LPG&RVR we did our out and back walk to Jess Valley Road right after breaking our slumber Saturday morning.  We intended to begin our walk between 6:30 and 7 am, but spent about 40 minutes straightening up our 'lido' and 'lower' decks following the gusting winds from Friday night, so we didn't depart until almost 7:30 am.  No worries about heat, though.  It was barely 60° F as we began our walk....


......upon our return we both resumed the 'cleanup' of the 'lido' and 'lower' decks, at which time I decided to do some major weeding of the area around the trailer, 'viewing', 'lido' and 'lower' decks.  From there I spent time cleaning 100 grass hoppers from the new grill I installed.  I had to use tweezers to get them out of the grill....what a mess!  We're not getting a lot of bug strikes on our windshield lately, but the grass hoppers tend to be hovering less than a foot off the highway, and what a mess they make of the grill.....ugh!

There were a few tears in our 4 year old Ozark popup canopy from the wind, so I taped them as well as I could, and then ordered a new one off Amazon.  Frankly, we are both amazed at how well this popup canopy, which is a Walmart brand, has worn, and lasted.  We never take it down, even when it is windy.  A new 10' x 10' canopy (fabric only) costs around $55, so not too bad considering it is 4 years old, and has been outside exposed to UV rays most of that time....often in windy conditions.

That's pretty much it for Saturday.  As of Monday, August 7th, we have exactly two months until it is time for us to head south for the winter.  This summer has passed by so quickly!

We will be driving back to Klamath Falls on Monday (7th) for TLE's much awaited, and anticipated cataract surgery Tuesday morning, so I'm not sure if I will have time then to post about Sunday, but I'll try.

Thanks for stopping by!
