Sunday July 17th 2016

Today was a little cooler than yesterday, but the humidity was up. It was a good day for outside activity.

I managed to drink my coffee this morning without dumping it in my lap. A much better start to the day than yesterday. The drive to New Hampshire was quick and uneventful. Sunday morning traffic was very light.

I got quite a bit accomplished at the house. Outside, I mowed the lawn and cleaned up some of the brush in the yard. Inside, the work on cleaning the kitchen and bathroom continued.

Back at my RV home I worked on finding places for the things I’ve brought from the house. For everything that I bring into the RV I try to find something to remove. The idea is to keep the weight and clutter down. I’m afraid I didn’t find as much to remove as I should have. Things that I thought would be useful during the winter in Florida that I never used were prime targets. Things that I have for other types of camping are safe until I know they aren’t needed.

I still have a couple of boxes of odds and ends that I need to find a place to stow before I get into travel mode. I need to be careful how creative I get with storage places. There are already a few things that I know are in here somewhere, but don’t ask me where I put them.

Re-potted Christmas Cactus plant.

Another task I got accomplished at the RV was re-potting a Christmas Cactus that I’ve been nursing along for the last year or so. It even manged to bloom last winter, but it needed a bigger more stable container. I found an old flower pot and some potting soil at the house to use.

Boy Scouts from Pittsburgh PA.

The big change at the campground tonight was the arrival of a troop of boy scouts from Pittsburgh PA. They have an old school bus with their troop number painted on it. They are taking up 5 sites with 2 to 4 tents per site. I’m not sure how many scouts are here, but it seems like a bigger undertaking for the leaders. I know that during my brief time as a boy scout I didn’t have any opportunities like these scouts are experiencing.
