Sunday August 13th 2017

Today’s weather pattern was consistent with the last few days. It starts off cloudy, clears up and warms up only to threaten thunderstorms late in the day. Strong winds and thirty seconds of rain was the extent of today’s thunderstorm. The bottom line is it has been cloudy overnight since Wednesday. I’ve tried to see the Perceid Meteor shower each night, but the clouds have had other ideas.

Today was my last full day in Green River Utah. I’m looking forward to a full blown grocery store or a Walmart Supercenter. The little grocery store here is OK, but it is expensive and not open when I want. For example, it wasn’t open today because it’s Sunday. My freezer is almost empty and there isn’t much in the refrigerator. I had to make a package of blueberry muffins for breakfast.

Ms. Ears came to my site to say goodbye. I’ll miss the entertainment the rabbit families provided.

Most of my day was spent watching sports on TV and getting ready to travel tomorrow. I’ve only been here ten nights so far, but I seem to have gotten more stuff out than usual. Most of the extra stuff is related to cooking. The stuff I’ve been getting out of the freezer is more complicated to cook than the frying pan and sauce pan I use for most of my cooking.

Around 5 this afternoon the air conditioner shut off. Upon investigation I found the power was out. Unless I can see the clock on the microwave I don’t know what’s going on. Everything but the AC and the Microwave run off the inverter and the batteries. I checked the outside breaker at the campground hookup and everything was OK there. That’s when I got to meet my neighbors. The power was out for the whole campground, in fact the whole region. It’s only when something goes wrong that everyone comes out of their air conditioned comfort in this hot weather. The power was back on about forty five minutes later.
