The strong winds died down over night and we woke up to an overcast 53°F. The forecast was for the cloud to disperse and the temperature to climb to 73°F, the sky cleared late in the afternoon but the temperature never made it above 63°F. At least it is warmer than back home!
We continued getting the place set up, and I worked on improving the internet. The internet here has strange characteristics if you are downloading a file or movie it is reasonably fast, but if you are surfing the web it can be painfully slow. I am sure there is a logical explanation somewhere out there in electron land!
After lunch we headed out to the local supermarket for the weekly supplies and a quick look around the local area. Not too much has changed other than the addition of a Dunkin Donut store about 5 minutes away; this is both good news and bad news.
Later on in the afternoon I decided to see if it was possible to put up one of my amateur radio antennas. The antenna was stored in a plastic toolbox, the type that has a removable tray inside and a hinged lid. I opened up the lid and removed the tray, in the bottom of the tool box was about half an inch of water. The tray was perfectly dry, and there was no sign of water damage to the contents. The outside of the toolbox was dry, as was the area it had been sitting in in the storage compartment. So…. where did the water come from, answers on a postcard please as I don’t have a clue.
