7:50 am - Wednesday - May 7th - LPG&RVR - 53° F, humidity 51%, wind 6 mph out of the south by southeast.....crystal clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 75° F. On this date in 2021 TLE and I were enjoying another amazing Seal Rocks RV Cove sunset on the Oregon Coast.....
....we spent a year (October of 2020 to October of 2021) there, and loved it!
First thing Tuesday after I had posted my daily missive TLE and I set out to do our 2 mile out and back walk. There was no wind, and clear, blue skies.....
.....about half way to our turn around point we caught up with Claude and his dog Jax....
.....so we took an 'usie' and I continued on while TLE walked more slowly with Claude. I arrived back at the Newell about 10 minutes before Claude and TLE having covered the two miles in just over 38 minutes....another improvement in elapsed time.
I spent the rest of the day taking care of tasks around the site, which included dumping our black tank for the second time since our arrival (we dumped 7 days of effluent generated on our week long trip north) when we dumped immediately after parking in site #23. I then returned to the trailer to finish what I had begun Monday. I moved the two Stihl chainsaws back to the through bay along with our luggage, then began move my summer work clothes (LPG&RVR short sleeve and long sleeve shirts) into my hanging closet in the Newell, and my winter clothing into the trailer, which I hung in clothing bags to keep them free of dust.
Then I reorganized the 6 food storage containers we keep in the trailer by placing them on two 4" x 4" pieces of wood to keep them off the ground, and hung some more of my frequently used tools on the Black and Decker Workmate, moved my Haibike to the rear of the trailer, unloaded the Predator 5000 from the Newell passenger side engine bay, cleaned the dust off of it, ran it for a while, then moved it (with TLE's help) into the trailer, and, finally, hooked up the Bluetti AC200P solar generator to power the 12 volt Fantastic Fan ceiling vent fan when it gets warm later this summer. It was a lot of little stuff, but now the trailer is organized, and ready for use....
.....by the time I was finished it was getting close to 4 pm. Our plans were to grill a salmon steak, and Claude would grill a hamburger for our communal dinner. TLE provided green beans for a side, and Claude some leftover spaghetti. I neglected to memorialize the food, or our gathering, but a good time was had by all. We sat talking until after 7 pm, finally adjourning to our respective coaches for the evening.
Thanks for stopping by!
