Wednesday May 4th 2016

The weather cooperated this morning. I was able to make the commute to New Hampshire in fair weather and normal traffic. It wasn’t warm enough to get a lot done outside, but I got a fair amount of cleaning done inside. I continue to make slow progress.

The return trip this afternoon was not quite as pleasant. The rains returned shortly after I started for home. Visibility in the rain and traffic was not good. I made it back to my RV home only a few minutes behind a normal schedule.

My motorhome was surrounded by a couple of inches of standing water from the heavy rain. It makes access to the door a tip toe act. From experience during the last few days of storms, I know it will drain off quickly after the rain stops.

I’m spending the evening inside watching TV with the volume cranked so I can hear it over the rain on the roof. The radio scanner set to the canal control frequencies is also turned on. It sounds like a car transport ship will be making a passage through the canal during the rain storm. I wish it were better weather so I could go out and watch for the ship. Car transports are one of the bigger types of ships that go through this canal. The big transports that bring new cars from Europe and Asia make stops at several ports on the eastern seaboard to unload cars. Consequently, they are in close to shore and utilize the canal heading to Boston.

The forecast for the next few days isn’t much different from the last few. It will rain off and on each day. The only variation is a slightly warmer temperature.
