Monday July 10th 2023

Most of the day was an inside activity kind of day. It started to rain shortly after the breakfast hour and continued through the dinner hour. Some of the rain was heavy with plenty of wind, thunder and lightening, but most of it was just a steady rain.

This was lawn mowing day in the RV park. They got started in my area of the park before 9AM and didn’t get finished before the rain began. The guys got really wet. Not only did they get wet riding the mowers, they got even more wet trying to unclog the wet grass from the mowers. I suspect it took longer to do less today.

I didn’t get out for my morning walk before the rain started. Instead, I watched TV and read to fill the time between indoor activities. One thing I did was cook a pot roast for dinner and the next few days of leftovers. Other than browning the meat and preparing the vegetables, most of the work was done by the slow cooker. Around 5PM I had a nice meal.

The rain stopped and the sun made a brief appearance after 6PM. I got out for my only walk of the day. There was a lot of dodging puddles involved in the walk around the front section of the RV park. The 6PM hour is one of the times during the day that a steady stream of landing aircraft are passing overhead. When you are outside it is impossible to ignore the noise of the passing planes. Tonight was no exception. At least five went by during my walk. The geese were plentiful along the bank of the retention pond. They were huddled in two different groups. The ducks were taking refuge with one of the groups of geese.
