Woke up to 65°F temperatures, things are looking up. We reached 80°F by mid afternoon, unfortunately the forecast suggests it back to the mid 50’s tomorrow. Much of the morning was spent trying to sort out an odd but not too pleasant problem. In a nutshell gas was building up in the black water tank and only vented when the toilet was flushed (if I had to suffer fixing this, you can suffer by reading it!). Everything else was working properly so I figured the problem had to be a blocked vent pipe. Unfortunately there is no access to the vent pipe other than from the roof, so up I went armed with a hosepipe and pointed it down the pipe, and turned on the water. After many such flushings success was indicated by the vent pipe venting. I still don’t know how the pipe got blocked because I am sure it must enter at the top of the tank, another of life’s little mysteries.
Lyn went off to her craft group in the afternoon, and I got back to waxing and polishing the trailer, only two more sessions required and it should be finished. I took advantage of the warm weather by sitting outside trying to complete one of the more difficult Sudoku puzzles yet. The puzzle is still winning.
We celebrated the return of the warm weather with a barbecue this evening.
