Hurry Up and Wait . . . Still
Still haven’t heard anything from anybody, so we just wait. But at least we’re very comfortable here, with 50 amps and water.
The only problem is the lack of a sewer connection, which is to be expected, I guess, since we’re basically in a parking lot. But it looked like today I was going to have to do something about empting our grey tank. As I mentioned before, we can normally go two weeks on our 40 gallon black tank, but the grey is another story.
I had dumped our tanks on Saturday in Las Vegas before we left so we already had a couple of days on the grey before we even got here. So I thought I’d go ahead and dump my grey tank using the Blue Boy tank here at Affinity.
But I quickly discovered that this type of tote, even at only 15 gallons (almost 125#) is very hard to move. Using the handle it’s very hard to pull it without it catching on your heels.
Unfortunately it wasn’t one like this which would be much easier to move.
After dragging the tote around to the dump station at the front of the lot the first time, I borrowed one of those metal utility wagons that they use around here. Even with the wagon, I still had to pick up the tote (125#) and put it in the wagon. Otherwise it was up too high for the waste water to flow into it. But it was a lot easier to move, so that helped.
One thing I discovered is that apparently my grey tank is bigger than I though. It’s listed as being 60 gallons, (with a 40 gallon black tank) in all my manuals. But I dumped 5 full totes of waste water, (for a total of 75 gallons), and still had a little left in the rig tank. So I guess I have a 75 gallon grey tank. Who knew?
Besides the beautiful scenery, one thing nice about the Prescott area is the price of gas here. Yesterday, as Jan and I were heading out to have dinner at the Nick Russell-recommended Golden Corral, we stopped off at Fry’s Supermarket right across the street to fill up the truck.
I was very happy to find that Unleaded was only $2.69 vs. the $3.31 I saw in Las Vegas last week. And with the 40 cents a gallon discount from my magic Fred Meyer’s Loyalty Card, it was $2.29. Very nice.
And Nick was right. The Golden Corral was really good.
