One
of the things I do when turning down the bed at night is to also get
my Pajamas on which was a good thing since Kathy had gone to
bed by the time I had posted the Blog last night. With that
completed I verified that it posted then clean up my Word Template
so that it will be ready for today’s posting. That’s when I heard
a beep that sounded familiar. The NO
LP lights were flashing on the refrigerator at
11:00 at night.
Dawning
my Coat and Shoes with Flashlight in hand I went
to check things out. The only one outside was the Moon
lighting the area up better then a Streetlight could have done
and I didn’t have to be embarrassed about my attire. Our new
Automatic Propane Regulator had worked so well we now had both
our Tanks empty. I was fortunate that our Spare Propane
Tank was anchored right outside the compartment so it was an easy
connection to put us back in business. Inside it was a matter of
hitting the button and the Fridge was once again working.
It
was at that point that I realized just how little protection from the
elements that Pajamas really have and yet you see people
wearing them out in public (Walmart).
It was a good thing Kathy was already asleep when I got between those
sheets because it took nearly a Half Hour before I warmed
enough to fall asleep.
Pepper Steak on Rice and a Small Pumpkin Pie for dessert. |
I
was up shortly after 7:00 this morning and the first thing I did was
to light up our Blue Flame Heater to take the chill out of the
Trailer. At breakfast Kathy admitted to not hearing me go
outside at all.
We
managed to get an appointment for Thursday morning for Kathy and I to
get our haircuts in Parker. After
doing our morning reading on the Computers while Kathy warmed
up the Pepper Steak on Rice that we made yesterday I
fastened the empty Propane Tanks in the Truck. Lunch
tasted wonderful because when you let that dish sit overnight or
longer the flavours meld together improving its taste.
Three Times warmer then back home but high Winds. |
When
we arrived at RV Pit Stop the
place was packed but withing Ten Minutes we were heading out
with Both Tanks filled.
Two Meaty Ribs and a Slice of Fresh Baked Bread. |
Our
next stop Coyote Fresh Food on
Main Street. This is the old
Corner Store
that is now under new management. They have put a lot of work
cleaning it up and serving quality products. We found a number of
things to bring Home to fill our
Fridge.
After
putting things inside for Kathy to put away I went back outside to
install the Propane Tanks. We were also starting to run low on
Fresh Water so I also set about transferring the Water
from our Fresh Water Barrel to our Trailer. That chore
has to be done on the Road Side of the Trailer which is
presently facing the North that is where we were getting Wind
Gusts of 32 MPH this afternoon. By the time I finished
transferring the Water I was frozen.
We
had an early supper because one of our purchases at Coyote Fresh
Foods was a Rack of Spare Ribs that were still warm. There
was so much meat on the Ribs that it only took Two Ribs to
satisfy us of course we also had some of their Fresh Baked Bread
to go along with them. There is plenty left for a few more meals.
We
didn’t stay Home long as we
headed over to the QIA Building
over on Ironwood Street. We were
there to see MacDougal Street West perform. This
is a Peter, Paul and Mary tribute group performing Folk Songs
that were made famous by the trio along with some Dillon, Simon and
Garfunkel and a few others. For nearly Two Hours they did a
great job of bring everyone back down Memory Lane.
Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.
