Tuesday August 9th 2016

It was cloudy all day with a continuous threat of rain. Save for a couple of brief cloud bursts like yesterday, the rain held off until evening. Starting at about 6pm real rain began falling.

I spent the day at home catching up on chores. Chief among the tasks was the laundry. This RV park has a laundry with 8 washers and 8 dryers. Both cost $2 a load. The gotcha is that front load washers are smaller in capacity than I’ve become used to. I needed to do an additional load to complete my washing. The dryer was a large capacity machine. Using a different type of machine each time I do the washing has had a negative impact on how clean I get my clothes. I don’t have enough trials to experiment with the various cycles or the amount of detergent and other additives. The next time I’m in one place for a few weeks, I’ll need to really work on getting things cleaner. In the mean time, I may have to go clothes shopping.

Close up of my audience for the take dumping task.

When I went out to dump the holding tanks I had a spectator. A gecko (or some kind of little lizard like thing) was sitting on the hose watching my every move. I was able to take several pictures without disturbing the little thing. Eventually the fluid rushing through the tube freaked it out enough that it retreated to a nearby tree trunk to continue to observe the operation. There are many of these little creatures scurrying around on the ground here.

The other advantage of a stay at home day was having the time to cook food with a longer preparation time. Tonight I prepared and cooked a pizza. This one was a pepperoni pizza. I usually make a sausage pizza, but I only had a stick of pepperoni in the refrigerator. It was an extra spicy pepperoni, so I probably should have just had a plain cheese pizza.

Tomorrow I may check out the World Golf Hall of Fame which is one exit north on I95 from here.
