Change of disposition.....

 8:23 am - Monday - March 31st - TWW - 54° F, humidity 40%, wind 20 (?....hardly a breath of wind right now) mph.....crystal clear, blue, sunny skies this morning with a forecast high of 66° F.  On this date in 2017 TLE and I were dining at Solvang Brewing Company in Lompoc, CA.....

.....a very cool, funky place.  We were staying a the Lompoc Elks Lodge for a few days.

When Charles and Phyllis left for their drive  back to Phoenix around 9 am it was very cold, and blustery.  It did not appear that we would be doing anything outdoors.  Then the clouds parted around 10 am, and everything changed for the better.  We went from preparing to be indoors all day, to making plans to drive into Seligman to pickup our mail, do some laundry, buy some produce, and stop off at the new coffee shop (Cottage Bakery) we visited a few weeks ago.  It' amazing how a little sunshine can change your entire disposition.

We've been doing our laundry in the house until a few days ago when a large leak appeared on the pressure side of the house water pump, so until that is fixed we're back to doing laundry in town.  However, we only wash the clothes in town, and then bring them home to dry in the house dryer.  

We arrived in Seligman around 11:00 am, stopping first at the Post Office to get our Amazon package from one of the parcel lockers.  While I retrieved the package, TLE walked next door to Family Dollar to buy a few things, then we headed directly to Seligman Laundromat to put in two loads of wash (takes 34 minutes to wash the clothes), then walked around the corner to Cottage Bakery for some coffee.  Brian (the guy who did the welding for me) was running the shop on this day.  Business has been good, according to him, and that makes us happy.  We sat sipping our Sumatra coffees while talking with Brian, and another customer for about 30 minutes before heading back to the laundromat to retrieve our now clean clothes.  After putting the clothes back in the car we went next door to buy the aforementioned produce, then headed for home where we arrived without incident around 12:30 pm.

After taking time to refill our fresh water tank from our 275 gallon IBC water tote (we needed over 100 gallons to refill the tank), I spent the rest of the afternoon puttering around in the trailer while watching the final round of the PGA's Texas Children's Houston Open, and then some more 'March Madness' basketball.  The Final Four roster is now set.....all four #1 seeded teams made it to the final four this year....Duke, Houston, Florida and Auburn.  That hasn't happened for many, many years.

Well, it is March 31st as I write, and tomorrow will be the first day of April, meaning we have less than 3 weeks until we haul anchor.  We've got a mixed bag of weather this week with temps in the 40's, and rain forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday, then the sun will return, and temps will back into the 70's and 80's next week.  

Thanks for stopping by!
