Getting Warmer

Well, hopefully the cold front has had it’s fun and the warmer weather is returning. The furnace cut in a couple of times last night, but yet again it was a clear sunny morning. As the day went on we got up to the mid 60’s.

We even managed to remember that the clocks changed last night. Because we are so close to the timezone line between EST and CST it means it now gets dark around 5PM and this will continue to get earlier for the next few weeks. This morning Lyn headed over to do some extra laundry while I started work on waxing the trailer. Last time I did this I recall being quite happy with how the wax went on, and more importantly, how it shined up. This time the wax didn’t polish off particularly well. I am wondering whether having left the wax in an outside storage area with the variation in the temperatures over the summer and winter.

After lunch we headed south to find a new walking trail, and of course some geocaches. We had one walk planned out, but it started at the end of a road that ran through a State park camping ground. Unfortunately we found out that there was no parking allowed on that road. We headed out to our hastily inventedĀ plan B, which was the same trail, but at the other end. We walked about 2.5 miles and had 100% success on the caches we looked for.

This week I have a few more jobs lined up. I need to take the wheels off and check that the wheel bearings a correctly packed with grease before we head out in January, also a new rear view camera arrived this week that I plan to mount high up on the rear of the trailer. This will help both in reversing, and also ensuring there is no traffic close behind me when pulling out/in during overtaking.
