Another beautiful clear and warm day. The humidity was more noticeable today as the temperature climbed up into the high 70’s. If the forecasters are to be believed we are in for a few cooler days in the mid 50’s at the end of the week.
We had originally planned on going down to a place where they sell fresh fish at the riverside, and then do some geocaching. We decided against it as we weren’t sure whether they would open on Remembrance Day. Instead I finished up waxing the the rest of the car, and Lyn did some waxing on the trailer. I hadn’t totally finished the trailer as there is an area under the front cap which is better suited to shorter people waxing it!
We’ve owned the trailer for around 4 years now, but we have never measured its height. Instead we have avoided going under anything with less than 14ft clearance. Today was the big day, I headed up to the roof with a pole and a chord and Lyn stayed below to mark where the chord touched the ground. In case you are wondering what the pole was for, the roof has a number of attachments that sit on it, vents, ladders, air conditioner etc. In addition the roof is not flat it is arched, so I placed the pole (parallel to the ground) on the higher points of the attachment and Lyn determined which one was the highest and marked it on the chord. Back on the ground we measured the chord and came up with the height of 12′ 8″. So anything with a clearance of 13′ or taller should be safe.
This afternoon Lyn went off to the craft session, after last weeks meeting with 7 people, there were only three today. While Lyn was away, I continued with an ongoing battle I am fighting with some programming, so far the programming is winning as I am dealing with sin,cos,tan,atan and all those evil things that I never understood at school, and understand them even less now.
Tomorrow we will try the fresh fish store and some caching.
