FOGGY DAY & A DRIVE.

Day 83 – It was foggy & humid this morning with no breeze. Rob got a picture of an adult Bald Eagle in a tree this morning, which was quite a feat since it was so foggy. More mushrooms are coming up all over the place. We put off kayaking in the Harbor because of the fog, not that it would be dangerous, but it’s prettier with some sun.

ANOTHER NICE DAY.

Day 82 – It was 60 degrees this morning when Rob went down to the cliff site with his camera & coffee. Nothing of interest, picture-wise, but later in the day he got a picture of a juvenile Bald Eagle after it flew and settled into a tree across the Harbor and a Snake in a “frozen” position when it crossed a path and saw Rob with his camera.

A NICE SUNDAY.

Day 81 – Not foggy this morning & 60 degrees, Rob got a few pictures from the cliff’s edge. A Seal was swimming in the Harbor and a Great Blue Heron flew by. A least it was clear enough for him to see the activity. Later it was partly cloudy and the sun came out. We debated kayaking the Harbor at high tide but decided to wait until tomorrow or the next day when high tide would fall right after lunch.

FOG.

Day 80 – The fog rolled in last night. Still very foggy this morning, it was 58 degrees when we got up. Rob took his morning constitutional with camera & coffee at the cliff – nothing but fog. We figured we’d just work in the RV on our projects for a few hours as the fog burned off.

TGIF? No, TGIP – Thank God It’s Pizza.

Day 79 – It rained hard all night, and stopped around 8 a.m. this morning. It’s looking like a rain forest around here. Everything is dripping with moisture. We both worked on some projects around the RV, Rob getting the holding tank monitoring system installed, and I was starting some research for our next trip. The status of Rob’s current project: now we watch the tank levels to check how accurate the system is, adjusting each monitor’s location until we have the best performance.

A RAINY DAY.

Day 78 – They got it right this time when they forecasted lots of rain! It started raining around midnight last night. When we got up, it was POURING, and it kept raining hard all morning. Started up again in the afternoon. Rob couldn’t work on his project re the holding tank monitoring system because for the last part, he needs to be outside on the ground under the RV. It was pretty muddy out. Instead we caught up our budget spreadsheet, and I made appointments for routine doctor’s appointments for when we get home while he worked on fixing a leak on the reverse osmosis tank. Later we played UNO, had dinner & settled in with the girls. Not much to report here.

MR. FIX-IT.

Day 77 – It was clear & sunny, 56 degrees this morning when Rob went out to the cliff with camera & coffee. Lately we’d heard plenty of Kingfisher ruckus but hadn’t been able to get pictures. Today Rob found out why the bird noise: the Harbor Kingfishers have babies, and there are two of them. They call out to the parents for food ALOT!

KAYAKING ORANGE RIVER.

Day 76 – A beautiful day today with a high of 70 degrees and lots of sunlight. It was 55 degrees when we got up. Rob didn’t take any pictures when enjoying his coffee at the cliff, but he heard three Kingfishers calling to each other as they were fishing in the Harbor.

Congratulations, Cathie & Pete.

Day 75 – It was raining & 55 degrees this morning. Yesterday we’d made bread and this morning we made Egg Salad. That takes care of lunch for several days. We couldn’t live on Bagels & Pizza forever. It continued to rain until the afternoon. We received our mail which we’d ordered from the mail forwarding service, so we spent the day dealing with bills and various paperwork. Not real exciting here.But at least the girls had new boxes to play in.
