Not Much Happened Today

A coolish night, the A/C didn’t need to run all night long!

Today was a vacation day, of sorts! This morning was reasonably cool, so we sat outside for a while in the breeze. Then I got bored! I needed to do a little first aid on the truck, it suffered an injury going through the car wash a few days ago. As the car wash machine started up and approached the truck I decided it would be a good idea to read the warning signs, one of which was “we accept no responsibility for damage to bug shields”. Umm, wonder if that applies to me?? It was too late do anything about the situation, so I just sat there and watched as the revolving brushes attacked my bug shield, pulling one side off the hood. Out of the car wash I managed some temporary repairs, then yesterday in Great Bend I got some replacement fasteners. Unfortunately I wanted fasteners that fitted a 9 mm hole, 9 mm is a foreign language down here, so I got a pack of what looked like 9 mm. I was close they were 3/8″, just under 1 mm too large, nothing a sharp knife couldn’t fix!

The bug shield is now firmly back in place.

Next project was to fix the igniter on the BBQ, I have four deceased igniters here from previous repairs (I have problems throwing some things away) but no new ones. Much to my amazement all 4 dead ones had come back to life, I guess they just needed a rest!

BBQ now ignites at the push of a button.

After lunch we headed out on a geocaching session, we found 6 out of 7. Not bad, after a bit of research I think I can find the 7th as well.

Yet again the temperatures were in the high 90’s so we were pretty warm after we got back to the trailer, so it was off to the pool to cool down.

I will NOT mention BREXIT and our pensions
