I guess by now these blog entries are getting pretty repetitive? Well, today will be no different. A cool night last night, and clear blue sunny skies throughout the day. We decided to just hang around the campground today and do more of nothing than usual, after all this is the weekend.
I managed to do very little for most of the morning before boredom set in, but there were no jobs that NEEDED doing (we’ll ignore washing and waxing the trailer in that statement).
After lunch we walked just under two miles around the resort, and stopped off at the office to check on the mail. I know, it’s Saturday, but the U.S. Postal Service still has a Saturday delivery, and the mail is still delivered to the destination address, not dropped off in a community mailbox. There was a package there for me, which was some more LED’s for different lamps in the trailer.
What should have been a simple swapping of bulbs turned into a 2 hour soldering and rewiring session. Suffice it to say, industry standard bulb sockets are not necessarily standard. I guess we have engineers to thank for that. Anyway, the job got done, and the lamp over the dining table and Lyn’s wall mounted reading lamp have been successfully been converted. The difference is amazing, particularly when you consider the original bulbs used 23 watts of electricity and the LED’s use just 3 watts, while giving out more light and just about zero heat.
Tomorrow is forecast to be same as the last week or so, we will probably head out towards the beach and wander around the trails in that area.
