Friday September 11th 2024

Today’s weather was a repeat of yesterday. It was cloudy most of the day keeping the temperature in check, but the humidity was extreme. The rain held off most of the day. A few light showers have arrived with the darkness of night.

This was lawn mowing day in the RV resort. With the air conditioning and fans running in my RV home, I don’t get distracted by the sound of the landscaping equipment. It just blends in with the background noise. I’ve noticed that the sandhill cranes seem to like the manicured lawns. They show up after the landscapers leave and don’t seem to be here on other days of the week. I got several pictures of the cranes on my afternoon/early evening walk around the resort.

The RV resort has gradually getting more active since the beginning of September. Some of the RVs and Park Models that have been empty all summer are now occupied. The number of empty sites is also decreasing. I don’t think the regular sites are getting occupied by snowbirds yet, but rather by Floridians taking advantage of the slightly cooler temperatures for a few days of camping.

Overall this was a good day to get some chores done and make a grocery run to Walmart. Unlike my last grocery run, I stayed dry this time. The store wasn’t too busy in the middle of the afternoon. This particular Walmart isn’t afraid to open a lot of “assisted” checkouts. I still prefer these checkouts over the self service ones. Today I only had to wait for one other customer to checkout before I was getting checked out.
