Brrrrrrr!

Woke up at 3AM to the sound of the furnace and again at 8AM, this is not supposed to happen; the furnace should not be required.The outside air was around 3C with a fairly strong wind. The only good news was that, with the new stabilizer on the trailer, there was practically no noticeable movement inside due to the blustery wind.

We had planned to head out to the beach today as we had spent enough time at the campsite, but one step outside ruled out that idea.

Instead I stayed in the warm and set up the printer so that Lyn could print out some discount coupons for the craft stores. Much to my amazement the printer worked, I was expecting it to be gummed up with dry ink after 8 months of no use. Obviously these $1.95 el cheapo ink cartridges from e-bay work well.

After lunch we headed out to do the weekly shopping, it was warming up slightly, but still not beach weather.

On the way back from shopping I stopped off at the campground office to pick up a parcel. I managed to kill an HDMI cable on the TV last week. A 6ft cable from BestBuy will cost around $20, I ordered 2 from eBay for $2.97 including shipping!(and they work). I don’t know how they make any money.

As we were getting out of the truck I noticed a glasses case in the door pocket, I opened it up expecting to find a forgotten pair of sunglasses, what I found was a pair of reading glasses that I lost back in April. They were in my pocket when I got in the truck in April, but had disappeared by the time I got home. I retraced my steps to the two places I had stopped en-route, but no glasses. I checked out the floor of the truck with no luck. All I can think of is that they fell from my pants pocket into the door pocket, and sat their ever since. Glad to have them back, as I replaced them with a cheap pair from the local pharmacy, these seem to work a little better!

We decided to treat ourselves tonight and went out to a local seafood house for dinner.  The surroundings were basic, but the food was good.

Tomorrow the sun is scheduled to make an appearance, and the temperature should be climbing back towards 60 so we are heading off to Pensacola, Florida for the day so that Lyn can use those discount coupons!
