I've got you pegged.....

 7:28 am - Thursday - November 14th - TWW - 37° F, humidity 27%, wind 8 mph out of the southeast....crystal clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 70° F.  On this date in 2015 TLE and I had our second sunset fire at Rincon Parkway (north of Ventura, CA)....

....that cement seawall in front of the portable firepit was all that separated us from the Pacific Ocean.

It had been about 10 days since we last washed clothes, and I needed a few things at the Seligman hardware store, so our plan was to leave TWW around 10 am to make the drive into town, but before that I had things which needed doing before we returned so I could begin and finish my next project by late afternoon.  As you enter the CONEX there are two 4' x 8' peg boards with a lot of random stuff attached.  My goal was to move the lower 4' x 8' peg board piece from the right side of the CONEX to the left side, and over the work bench, so tools that we use on a regular basis will be right there in front of anyone working at the work bench.  With TLE's help I was able to get it moved, and refastened to the wall by 9:40 am....

There were two 4' x 8' peg boards there, stacked one on top of the other.  The lower one was largely unusable because of things stacked on the floor in front of it

....we were in the 2004 Ford Expedition, which Charles and Phyllis brought up from Phoenix for us to use to get into and out of town, by 10:10 am.  It usually takes us 25-30 minutes in the Beetle to traverse the 7 miles of dirt roads back to US-66 (the VW is very low slung with stiff suspension), but in the Expedition (with very good SUV suspension) it takes us less than 10 minutes, and only 30 minutes total to reach the outskirts of Seligman.  Okay the secret is out, we are about 30 minutes outside of Seligman, AZ (Charles and Phyllis gave permission to reveal the general location).  Anyway, having access to the Expedition enables us to reach town way faster, but to also pick up larger items, which would not fit in the hatch of the Beetle, to bring back to TWW.

Our first destination was the Seligman Laundromat.....

....which as laundromats go is pretty nice, plus (on the left) they provide 'theater seating' for customers.  There was only one person there when we arrived to put our clothes in the large triple load washer you can see on the right, and when we came back to switch our clothes to the dryer, we were all alone....nice.  The triple load washer does its work in about 25 minutes, so we used that time to do some shopping at the local Family Dollar store.  By the time we returned it was time to move our clothes over to one of the large dryers at the rear of the laundromat, and then head over to the General/Hardware Store for some hardware.  The dryers take about 40 minutes, and by the time we returned there was only 7 minutes left on the dryer....perfect timing....we like to spend as little time as possible in laundromats....lol!

After folding our clothing we drove a couple of blocks over to Delgadillo's Snow Cap Drive-In where you can get burgers, malts, sodas and shakes.  For such a small town there are a lot of eateries....at least 7, or 8 by our count.  I'm sure by the time we finish our 6 months stint here we will have sampled them all....

....I had their Green Chili Burger (1/4 pounder) with onion rings, and a chocolate malt, while TLE had their OINK burger (bacon cheeseburger) with onion rings, and a Diet Coke......

.....we each cut our burgers in half to share with the other.  Yelp gives them 4.5 stars on 217 reviews, but we could be closer to 3.5 stars.....good basic burgers, but nothing to write home about, however, the chocolate malt was heavenly!

We were home by 1:30 pm, at which time I began to finish my work of setting up the tools on the freshly moved peg board.....

.....I've been carrying around a lot of tools which I do not use, but might come in handy some day.  I decided to donate them to TWW where I am sure they will get some use, and my trailer will become several hundred pounds lighter in the process.....there a more tools which I'll transfer in the very near future.....

The 5 Stihl chains which came with the 17" bar Stihl...the chainsaws, of course, will remain at TWW in our absence this summer

The new air tools I bought off Facebook Marketplace

A complete set of metric open/closed end ratcheting wrenches

My extremely large open/closed end wrenches (1" up to 1.5"), and a bunch of extra screw drivers of the flathead and Phillips head variety

Some of my hand saws, which have seen very infrequent use over 13 years

The band saw which the land provided (left by prior owner)

The 4 new hand tools (all with yellow handles) I bought at the hardware store....a new rock rake, hoe, hula hoe, and tiller

....it took me until after 4 pm to get as far as I did.  I still have work to do on the peg board on the right side of the CONEX interior, but things are looking much more useable!

Around 5 pm we headed out to the sunset fire 'deck' to watch another sunset....

The almost FULL moon last night

Two contrails lit up by the setting sun.....they look like they're on fire!  That Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra camera is amazing!

Nice afterglow around 6 pm

.....we watched the latest 'Survivor' episode, and were in bed around 10:30 pm.  A very nice, productive day at TWW!

Thanks for stopping by!
