A cold night again, but a clear and sunny morning. We climbed up to 15°C today which was very pleasant after the last few days, this was made even better by the lack of any wind.
It’s amazing how easy it is to stretch a “simple” job over may days. I continued working on the camera wiring today. All the wiring at the back-end had been completed, but I wanted to put a switch in the circuit that could be activated from outside the trailer as all the logical inside locations for the switch would involve opening one of the sliders, which is not very practical if overnighting in a hotel. The transmitter for the camera is in the bedroom wardrobe, and I located an electrical box outside near the hitch that would make a good location for the switch. With a little help from Lyn, and a lot of thumping on the wardrobe floor we found a likely location for the wire to pass from the inside to the outside. The first hole I made was in exactly the right position, amazing!
After lunch I headed down to Radio Shack to get a switch, and also dropped in to the grocery store, with the odd name of “Piggly Wiggly” to pick up something we missed off the list yesterday. Back at the trailer it was a fairly simple job to drill a hole in the electrical box and mount the switch. The hardest part was back in the wardrobe, using small wire staples to hold the wires against the wood trim, hammer met fingers more than hammer met staples!
Lyn left the bad language to me today, as she settled down to do some less challenging sewing.
It was warm enough to go for our walk, and then sit outside afterwards to drink coffee. Even the BBQ was resurrected to cook a steak for dinner. Tomorrow’s weather should be interesting; all week they have been forecasting over an inch of rain, but at the same time the symbol in the forecast has been for a clear and sunny day, today the symbol changed to partly cloudy, but still with an inch of rain, guess they are playing the CYA game.
