Having gone for most of my life without donning the apron of a waiter, I can’t claim to know how staff feel about clients. Especially those who slide into chairs, just as you prepare to flip the sign. We arrived at the last moment for supper; the place wasn’t busy. As for the three other groups that came through the door after us, I’ll pretend to be deaf to the undertone of grumbles.

In the absence of a mentor, we’ve been learning about the various subsystems in the RV via the time tested technique of trial and error. Hopefully, we can reduce the errors while parked close to home, allowing on the road adventure time to be used for better things.

Today, my role in local fitness was to provide taxi service at the end of a long walk. The dog and I managed to reduce the internal temperature of the car from a sweltering 45C before setting off; amazing what wide open windows and an AC draft can accomplish.

Turns out, my worry was just that. We swapped out some fuses, and the whole waste evacuation system in the RV works as it should. Now if I could only locate my own fuse panel, and see if that kidney silliness will go away.

For a number of reasons, I’ve gone through life without donating blood. I wish that the local mosquitoes would get the memo. Putting away the grill with its cover is an open invitation to feed the multitude. Unfair advantage to their team. When the wind is up, no big deal. However, that lull at the supper hour is more than enough for me to learn new dance steps.

Trying a new radio feed today. Not so new, really: Radio Caroline. Didn’t they used to be on a boat? No matter. Their album countdown, free of stupid commercial ads, is about as good as it gets. Not to figure out how I can get the same level of sonic comfort in a vehicle. It can be done.

The dog might be smart enough to figure out which hand is holding a Milkbone, but when faced with two loaded fists, he’s helpless. That’s why we don’t send our pets to the higher seats of governance.

There’s something about a good book. Although I’ve joined the modern era and adopted an electronic reader, there’s still pleasure in the written word… one page at a time. If interrupted, I can set my story aside, take care of the immediate and then return without missing a beat. Try that with a movie in an expensive seat.

I love my local news telecast. Where else would I turn for these three stories, one following the other? Read the rest of this entry »
