Worky Wednesday
Early start to my work day - on my time zone anyway. Naturally, since I decided to spend a long day driving yesterday, loads of people came out of the woodwork wanting something from me. Took me six hours to just get even this morning.
In between things I got the rest of the way setup, did some housecleaning, and made a list for my Walmart run. Googled for things to do tomorrow and then for a dog park for this afternoon.
Thrilled to discover a huge dog park - two sections and both of them huge! It is also adjacent to a different RV park. I might try to stay there another time... on the other hand it costs twice as much as this one, so I'm still pretty happy with where I am. Anyway, that one is Ladybird Johnson RV park.
See the little guys running? And the (small craft) airport! |
Home projects day. I discovered yesterday, to my disappointment, that I don’t have my good pliers with me. I used the needle-nosed ones, and they worked, but I need a hefty pair of pliers with some serious torque. (Sometimes the water hoses are too tight for me to release by hand.)
Studied the problem of some straps that flap in the breeze and end up banging annoyingly against the truck, I decided some extra long zipties might be in order. The straps themselves aren't coming loose, just the loose ends that I sort of macramé together in an effort to keep them from flapping. So now they are knotted up but also zip-tied. That should do it.
The fabric in the truck roof is coming down in places so spray adhesive was in order. I got that fixed easily, but now I have a whole can of the stuff. I don't have any at home so that's sort of okay, but I wouldn't have chosen to drag that can around all summer. Still I may need to spray-adhese something else before it's over.
A screw came loose that holds the sort of dust-ruffle bit of the couch, so I needed glue to put in the screw hole. This is the only project I didn’t get done today.
My only spontaneous purchase -- and I allow myself spontaneous food purchases – was some plant-based Italian sausage to cut up in my plant-based mac & cheese with ... yep, plants. Nice dinner.
Did the truck projects the cooler, less glaring early evening and chatted up my neighbors - 3rd full timers I met today (two at the dog park/rv park.)
The air conditioner is keeping up nicely on lo-auto, the wifi signal is fantastic, the shower is decent and there are some interesting places to explore tomorrow in between working. Soy contento.
Some random photos of Fredericksburg that I did not take.
