'Slug' for a day.....

 7:21 am - Saturday - September 20th - LPG&RVR - 57° F, humidity 54%, wind 1 mph out of the southeast.....heavy cloud cover, chance of rain and a forecast high of 77° F today.  On this date in 2018 TLE and I were standing on top of Mt. Washington in New Hampshire.....



.....can you imagine winds of 231 miles per hour?!  We drove to the top and back, which I do not recommend.  Was very hard on our brakes going back down the mountain.  We were in first gear all the way down, had to apply the brakes constantly, and stop every few minutes to let the disc brakes cool.  Take the funicular train instead...lol....


....and on this date in 2022 there was snow on Eagle Mountain.....


.....Likely Place Golf and RV Resort.

After a task filled day Thursday I took off Friday from all work type activity.  I drove Club Car Villager #20 over to the Clubhouse to sign up for the putting contest finale, and spent about 30 minutes on the putting green practicing Saturday morning, then spent the rest of the day on the 'lido deck' reading, and listening to 60's Gold on Sirius/XM radio (73).  The forecast high for Friday was 80° F, but I do not believe it exceeded 76° F as it was cloudy all day long, and I mean very cloudy, as in 'leaden skies' cloudy.

I wish I had more to report, but I do not.  That is the price of being a 'slug' for a day.  I must say, however, that being a 'slug' on occasion is quite rewarding in the micro sense.  In the macro sense it is not a habit which should become a part of your daily life style.....lol!  I did not receive a single mosquito bite in the 3 hours I was outside, which is noteworthy, as the mosquitoes have been quite bad this summer.   There was also a delightfully long 30, or 40 minute nap thrown in for good measure.  Finally, around 4:30 pm the outdoor temp began to fall, and I had to make the choice of either changing into long pants, and a long sleeve t-shirt to remain outdoors, or go inside....I went inside.

For dinner TLE prepared, for the second time this summer, Mississippi Pot Roast in her Vita Clay Organic Multi-Cooker.  It's kind of like a 'crock pot', but way more versatile.  TLE has had several 'crock pots' over the 13 years we've been on the road, but this Vita Clay slow cooker has them all beat, and she uses it on a regular basis, whereas she rarely ever used the multiple 'crock pots' we've owned over the years.  Oh my goodness, is that ever a great dish!  That needs to become a more regular menu item in the Hockwald household.

Thanks for stopping by!
