5:49 am - Monday - September 14th - LPG&RVR - 33° F, humidity 47%, cloud cover 1%, wind 6 mph out of the northeast.....clear, blue skies today with a forecast high of 74° F. On this date in 2020 TLE and I were just across the Columbia River from Astoria, OR....
.....after having having spent a week driving US-1 from Port Townsend through the Olympic Peninsula in Washington. We would arrive at our home for the next year (Seal Rock, OR) later the next day.
Sunday was another great football day. It was NFL day, and there were quite a few good games throughout the day. Although I had the outdoor TV up and running on the 'lido deck' it was too cold, and breezy to spend much time outdoors. The temp had dropped from 81° F on Saturday to 65° F Sunday. The overnight low was 30° F (7 am Sunday), which meant we had to move our many plants into the trailer Saturday night for the first time since we arrived April 27th. We planned on taking another 1 mile out and back walk when it hit 60° F, which did not occur until 1:30 pm.
Just as the afternoon NFL games were about to begin we took our walk averaging 3 mph again (20 minutes and 10 seconds) burning another 166 calories. After returning from our walk we sat on the 'lido deck' for a few minutes cooling down from our walk, but eventually had to head indoors as the cool temp combined with the stiff breeze made it feel much colder than it was.
That was pretty much the 4th day of our four day weekend. We did watch the Sunday night game between the NY Giants and the Dallas Cowboys played in New Jersey. Jim Harbaugh is the NY Giants coach this year, and has apparently worked wonders with their defense and offense. The Cowboys were favored, but the Giants won 28-20, and it didn't really seem that close. This was the first time the NY Giants have won a season opener against the Cowboys since 2016, and it was the first time since 2006 that both the NY Jets and Giants both won their opening day games.
Thanks for stopping by!
