There was no agenda for today and we followed it closely.
We got up at our usual early bird 8:00 and set down for some serious fortified coffee drinking. For some strange reason, my coffee seems to be more fortified than Peggy’s. We had a nice breakfast, took leisurely showers and watched part of two movies; the end of one and the beginning of another.
However, we soon became so bored with the lousy movie selection and went outside for some overdue maintenance on our trailer. I checked our new battery since I can clearly recollect our untimely electrical failure recently in Monument Valley. The battery was fine but my paranoia still runs strong. Peggy scrubbed the awning and was pretty successful in getting a year’s worth of dust to vacate the premises. I was impressed.
Peggy also cleaned some of the exterior parts of the trailer in a vain attempt to remove the carcasses of numerous bugs that have died by blunt force trauma when they smacked into it while it was moving at 50 miles per hour. There are a lot of bugs in the west. I serviced our generators to make sure they still work in case we have more supply-side electrical issues in the future.
For this little bit of work, we rewarded ourselves with some cold porter followed by a nice barbecued steak dinner and salad. This retirement and traveling is rugged. Although the rigors of regular travel, visitations to fantastic places and admiring wonderful scenery are trivial, everyone should give this stuff a try. We sure like it.
