April is a grab bag of weather.....

 7:15 am - Saturday - April 5th - TWW - 36° F, humidity 50%, wind 9 mph out of the north.....crystal clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 61° F.  On this date in 2017 TLE and I had just arrived at the Elks Lodge near Pismo Beach, CA....

.....less than one block from the Pacific Ocean. Has it really been 8 years? 

The view this morning....

We bid adieu to Charles and Phyllis around 9 am Friday morning.  It was still very cold outside, with lots of frost everywhere, so we kept our 'until next times' brief, and scampered back into the warm confines of the Newell.  We kept thinking it would get warmer Friday, but it never did.  The forecast was for low 50's, a little sun, and no wind, but I don't think it ever got to 50° F.  In fact, we were the recipients of more precipitation, plus wind of the unexpected variety.....mostly wind driven sleet, with some rain  on and off all afternoon.  

The sun made an appearance, if ever so briefly, around 1:30 pm, so I went outdoors thinking, foolishly, that I would finally, after almost 6 months, install the 2025 tags for the Newell....lol!  They run from November to November, and we paid for them in late September, so it wasn't really necessary to install them until now since we've been sitting here at TWW since October, but now we will be on the road in a few weeks, and it would be good to have the current tags on the license plate, don't ya think?

Unfortunately, while I was getting a screw driver to remove the license plate, it began to sleet quite hard, thereby quashing any plans I had to do something constructive Friday.  I spent time in the trailer moving somethings around, hoping the sleet/rain would abate, but no such luck.  I finally surrendered around 2 pm, and headed back inside for the balance of the day.  There was, of course the second round of the Valero Texas Open, which I watched, and there were a couple of good naps thrown in for good measure.

So far April has been a 'grab bag' of weather.  The current weather forecast for the next week is dryer, and promises a lot of sun, so maybe, just maybe we can finally get some work done around TWW before we leave.  As I write all I can see is blue sky in every direction, and the temps may get into the 60's today, so we've got that going for us.  Our Eco-Worthy Dual Axis solar tracker tilted today at 7:09 am....the earliest ever, and our Bluetti power bank is almost back to 90%, already.  The sun now sets at 7 pm, and rises around 6:08 am....soon we will have over 13 hours of daylight each day.

The temperatures in Likely, CA are sort of mirroring ours here, and it appears we will arrive to highs in the 70's with overnight lows in the high 30's.  The past three years we have arrived at LPG&RVR around the first week in April, but this year we will not arrive until the 27th, or 28th.  Three weeks makes a big difference in weather, and temperatures.

Thanks for stopping by!
