Weather wise today was a repeat of yesterday; sunny in the low 70s. Activity wise, I was a lot less active today. After spending yesterday walking all around the southern end of the Las Vegas Strip, I spent most of today doing chores around the RV.

Sunset this evening as I was leaving the RV park laundry.

My biggest challenge of the day was the laundry. The hamper fills up faster in the cooler weather. Not because I’m wearing more clothes, but fall clothes are heavier and bigger. It is only in the second half of November that I’ve had the need to switch to long pants and wear a sweatshirt now and then. Eight months of wearing “summer” clothes isn’t anything to complain about.

The laundry was a little less busy this time around. Not all of the machines were in use when I arrived. By the time I left the laundry facility all of the machines were empty. Since the RV park laundry is so far enough away from my site I drive to get there and wait around while the machines do their thing. The count down timer says the wash load takes 39 minutes, but that last minute can last a long time if the machine doesn’t think the spin cycle has squeezed enough water out of the load. Then the dryer count down timer calls for another 48 minutes of drying time. Overall it took about two and a half hours from the time I loaded the laundry bag and left my RV home until everything was folded or hunk back in my draws and closets. I don’t mind the task when the laundry is near by and I can walk over and load the machine then come back to my RV while the loads run. Having to drive to the RV park laundry is another thing.

I didn’t take any pictures with my new camera today. The pictures in this blog entry were taken with my Canon Point and Shoot. I spent some time reading a “How to” book on my new camera and downloading some software that understands my camera. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll be able to experiment with what I learned.
