July 24, 2008


View of the day-A Peacock, one of the local animals that roam around by our camper, along with several wild turkeys and a couple of spotted baby deer.

We had high hopes for the day, but the humidity just wouldn't leave us alone. We woke up to fog and the haze stayed in the air all day and well into the night.
Marilyn continued on with her speaker task, getting 5 of 6 working...a new one will need to be purchased...but at least we have sound again.

Al killed time in the camper, then went out to the field to do a test around 3pm...it was 14.5% moisture and it didn't look like it was going to get any dryer with the humidity as high as it was.

We decided we had time to do a laundry run into Winner, so while Marilyn watched the clothes go round and round, Al used up his free minutes on his cell phone getting some news from home. While the dry cycle was going on we figured we would check out a new restaurant for supper and we were able to have the salad bar, go get the laundry out of the dryers and get back for the main course. Some of the patrons that were eating in the restaurant must have thought we did the "dine and dash" thing.

Back at the camper we watched the weather channel as the storms were blowing up all around us and threatening to head our way. We did get about 20 minutes of really strong winds, but as of this writing, no rain.

Let's hope it stays that way...
