Our Location today is Tecumseh, Ontario, Canada.
Since the outside temperature was supposed to stay at a
comfortable level last night we thought that we’d sleep with the window
slightly ajar again. That would prove to be a major mistake that we’d later
regret. Shortly after midnight the wind started to pick up causing a high
pitched whistling sound but we were able to roll over and go back to sleep but
an hour later the wind gusts got to the point that the windows were rattling. That
did it and Kathy got up to close the windows however even then the wind was
still strong enough to rattle the windows that were latched shut. Was it any
wonder that we both slept until nearly 8:00 this morning and that we continued
to drag the remainder of the day.
After breakfast and a brief stint reading at the computers we
both had chores to take care of. Kathy set the Crockpot up to slow cook a
lovely beef roast with all the fixings before going back to do more research on
the computer. I had a week’s worth of laundry to take care of. Normally it’s
not busy in the laundry room on Fridays but today seemed to be the exception. Once
the clothes were in the dryer I finished my morning reading and had lunch
before going back to fold the clothes.
When I returned with the folded clothing Kathy was struggling
with the latest version of Map-Quest which has seen practically a total
makeover. I set myself up on the tarp in the living room where I proceeded to
make the adjustments to the frames for the solar panels. Even then it wasn’t
until after I’d mounted the panels that I noticed another issue. I was once
again out on the balcony with both sets of panels and within a half hour had
everything good to go.
The Crockpot did a great job of making dinner and everything
tasted wonderful. The weather forecast on the 6 o’clock News showed that our
temperatures are starting to drop to the point that the night-time lows will
dip below the freezing mark this weekend. That will give us a chance to use our
new bedcover to help us stay toasty warm. Thanks for following
along and feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.

Cock pot beef roast sounds divine.
ReplyDeleteGet those solar panels installed now with a good controller and all will be good.
ReplyDeleteI went on Mapquest the other day and it was AWFUL, I thought. I couldn't get it to show me street names, it wouldn't give me any detail in the area I wanted. I closed it and went to Googlemaps, which I've never liked much. Yesterday I went back to Mapquest and found a button that brought me back to the original Mapquest screen. The new one might be lots better, but I still like the original maps, and was really happy to see I have an option. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, cool post. I'd like to write like this too - taking time and real hard work to make a great article... but I put things off too much and never seem to get started. Thanks though.
