It's Not Even Summer Yet!

Tuscaloosa, Alabama - Deerlick Creek COE Park

Weather: low 75 degrees, high 85 degrees, clear skies

Today is June 18th, which means we still have another three days until summer is officially here. When I say officially, it's because as far as we're concerned, summer arrived about two months ago. I can only imagine what the next three months will be like. That's why we're going north in search of cooler weather in about ten days. The picture was taken on Christmas Day in Bay City, Texas, and is shown here to give us a little boost until cooler weather is found. It's amazing that there are record low temperatures occurring in the northeast and across the mid-western parts of the country while it is so hot here.

We continued our work to catch up on chores that we ignored for a couple of weeks. In an attempt to beat some of the heat, I was out for my morning walk by 0600 hours. When I got back, Carolyn had breakfast ready, which was tasty. She does a good imitation of MacDonald's English muffin with egg, sausage, and cheese. Or does MacDonald's copy her dish? Anyway, it was good.

After eating breakfast, I did some minor cleanup of the truck and RV wheels to get some road grime off them. Now, they gleam like new again. Then, I took another load of laundry down to the campground laundry. All of the laundry is now washed, and we shouldn't have to do it again for a week or so.

While i was staying busy, Carolyn was doing her thing inside the RV. She finished going through the cabinets, including wiping everything down. When she put everything back, she attempted to do it in a more efficient way so things are easier to find. Time will tell on that.

We plan to get out tomorrow to do some shopping for some items we need. We are not happy with the air conditioner thermostat. It is an analog model that is, to say it bluntly, a piece of junk. Our plan is to find a digital model that will make it easier for the air conditioner to keep the temperature in a range that is comfortable for us.

More later, be safe.
