The list.....

6:43 am - Saturday - November 2nd - TWW - 37° F, humidity 31%, wind 5 mph out of the south by southeast.....very cloudy today with a forecast high of 56° F.  On this date in 2013 TLE and I were having dinner with my brother and his wife at the Stein Erickson Lodge in Park City, UT.....


....the view this morning.....


TLE and I have taken to writing a list of things we want to do each day.  Whatever is left over from the day before gets added to the new list for that current day.  There are so many things which need doing, and I can no longer keep long lists in my 'head'.....


.....above is our list from Friday.  As you can see, there were 9 things on the list, and three of them were completed.  I tend to make cryptic notes, so much of that list will make no sense to you, but we did get the sail shade installed on the deck of the house yesterday....

Combined with our 2 market umbrellas, the rectangular sail shade will add a layer of shade to the deck, which will be more important in the summer time, but the sun can get intense  in the winter, too.

.....the next thing we did, and this is an important thing for us, we installed our two new 6 ton (can hold 12,000 pounds each) jack stands under the rear of the Newell.  When the weather gets cold, as it is now doing, the back tends to settle until we are too high in front, and the shower then does not drain properly.  During the summer everything is fine, but cold weather in the high 30's, or below does cause us to lose air in our air suspension....


.....next up we moved a number of long pipes over the garage where I will assemble them to use as a 'mast' for our new wind generator.......


....and I was able to install the flange to which the generator will be mounted.  I've got ways to go before this project is complete, but this was a good start.  Charles and Phyllis returned for an overnight stay bringing 8 bags of concrete mix so I can pour the bases for the wind generator, and our new solar array.  I'll do that in the next few days so the concrete can cure for 3, or 4 days before I begin to setup everything.....

.....I don't remember mentioning this, but we acquired another Norcold basement fridge, which will be installed in the through bay next to the existing Norcold.  This new one will be used strictly as a freezer so we can stock up on meat when good deals are available.  We have limited freezer space in our Dometic Americana II fridge, so this will be a great addition.  Anyway, along with the delivery of the 8 bags of cement, I also received the new slide tray for the new Norcold.  This will enable us to pull it out of its cubby hole like the other Norcold.....


....I'm going to install it in the through bay Saturday.

We had an early dinner around 3:30 pm with Charles and Phyllis in their house....


....TLE had me grill hot dogs for dinner, and Charles provided the vino.  We so enjoy it when they are here, but they have obligations down in Phoenix, so they commute back and forth.  Around 5 pm we headed out to the firepit for another sunset fire.  It was very subtle, and I missed the actual sunset, but I got a picture of the afterglow....


....thanks for stopping by!
