When
we looked at The Weather Network before going to bed last night the
forecast was for the upper 40’s so
we simply left the Bedcover on the
bed for the night. Throughout the night I kept waking because I was shivering
so badly but I just chocked it up to my Raynaud’s
Disease. But when we got up and our Indoor
Thermometer was showing 41 F (5 C) we turned on our Blue Flame Heater. Slowly bit by bit
the temperature inside as well as out started increasing and we were able to
shut it off around 10:00.
After
completing some of our indoor chores, I started warming up some soup for our
lunch which surprised Kathy who was again lost doing more research our upcoming
trip. We were still cold enough that we had our Third Hot Beverage along with the Hot Soup to warm ourselves. A far cry from the sizzling
temperatures we had gotten through most of the summer.
Kathy
went back to the Computer while I went
outside. When we got the Trailer
back from the Factory in May we were
in such a hurry to empty the Storage
Room that things were not put in the basement quite the way they should
have. Then I also did a few things that the Tools were not put back exactly where they belonged. Today I only
managed to get about Half of that
repacked and straightened up.
While
I was trying to close things up for the day our neighbour Mike came over to ask
some questions. He and his wife Pat purchased a barely used Mobile Suite Fifth Wheel and had it
delivered to their Site. This was
their first ever RV but he doesn’t
retire until next year at which time they want to start touring Canada with it. They have somewhere to stay this winter but once he’s
retired they’ll be heading for warmer climates in the future. Most of his
questions today were about Towing.
By
6:00 Kathy called me to start grilling a couple of Steaks while she made Baked
Potatoes along with Green Beans and Tomatoes for
sides topped off with sliced Peaches for dessert. It was all tasty and satisfying.
While
eating Kathy informed me that a couple of the Overnight Stops I had chosen at random were actually considered to
be Ghost Towns abandoned after the
closure of old Route 66. The names of the Towns are still on
modern maps and that was how I came up with their names. So we sat working at
finding other stops where we’ll have at least a Truckstop, Walmart, Grocery Stores or nearby Restaurants. After finding alternate
stops she’ll be able to find things for us to do while we are there.
Hearing
a bunch of laughter coming from Lorrie and Kevin’s trailer I wanted to find
something out from Kevin. They had Ray and his wife over for a Campfire and immediately invited us as
well. With Kathy bundled up against the cold we had fun sharing stories of our
experiences and even learned a few things from Ray. Time was flying by and it
wasn’t until Kathy looked at her watch did we know that it was nearly 11:00.
This
is definitely a compressed version of our day. Thank you for following along and feel free

Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.
