Yet again the weather people got it wrong (there must be some ex-environment Canada guys down here). It was warm and overcast when we woke up, and about an hour later the rains came again.
Because it has been so dry in recent months the ground has become very dry and well packed and the rain does not soak in too well, rather it sits on top and slowly soaks in so every where you walk is muddy.
Two discoveries today. I had always meant to work out whether it was cheaper to run the fridge and hot water heater off propane or hydro (electric for those South and East of the Canadian border). Since I last filled up the propane tank I have been keeping track of the hydro usage, and have finally determined that it costs twice as much to run off propane. The switches have now been thrown and hydro now powers the devices.
The second discovery was more of a whoops! moment rather than anything useful. Not only did we tour all around Brownsville and its historic district yesterday, we took our garbage with us. In the morning we put the garbage into the back of the truck with the intent of putting it in the dumpster on the way out. For some reason it was still in the back of the truck this morning!
Hopefully the weather will dry up and we can get out somewhere tomorrow.
