A Time for the Arts

Another warm, partly sunny day into the mid 70’s

This morning I finished up routing the wiring for the rearview camera, next I need to change a few connections then try it out. Also fixed the gas problem by switching everything off then turning on the tanks sloooooowly.

A few times while working in the gas area there had been a smell of gas, which I had put down to some being vented by the regulator, but I wanted to make sure there were no leaks. So off to the local WalMart to buy a spray bottle, which then got filled with a solution of washing up liquid and water. All the connections got sprayed, and lo and behold one started to bubble. What was interesting/disturbing was that the leaking connection was not one that had been touched when I had the regulator replaced in Florida. This must have been like this since day 1 :-(. I disconnected the fitting, cleaned it up and put some yellow PTFE tape on it, reconnected it and showered it with soap spray…. no more leak.

This afternoon we headed back to Orange Beach to an Arts Festival, this must be the cultural side of RVing! The show featured artists from Florida, Alabama and Mississippi as far as I could see. There was a mixture of painting, pottery, glass ware, jewelery and even iron pouring which was a first.

Lyn managed to buy a couple of articles, a pottery mug and a wind chime made from a wine bottle!!

On the way home we noticed many stores with signs out welcoming Spring Breakers, so we may have to lie low for the next few days!!!
