Apparently We Missed It . . .
Or we didn’t get the memo (or the flyer).
Well, we survived another day of Texas temps, but it really hasn’t been quite as hot as the 99+ temps that have been forecast for the next week or so. We’re actually seeing more like 95 to 96° here in Columbus.
Which means the AC’s are still cycling on and off. Which is very, very important now that we’re paying for our electric. In fact I set an alarm on my phone to remind me to got outside and check the power meter to see how many KWH we’ve used in the 4 days we’ve been on the meter so far.
That will give us some idea of what kind of ‘surprise’ we’re going to get when we leave on the 31st. Just hope it’s not a BIG surprise. At least the 100+ temps that they were forecasting for later in the week have disappeared.
After I mentioned in yesterday’s blog post about nothing going on here for the 4th, Ranger Barbara Spade quickly corrected me. Turns out we didn’t get the flyer. Or at least not the one for July.
We got the one for June in our packet when we checked in three weeks ago, but didn’t get the July one on Sunday when we re-upped for our month here.
Barbara said there was a golf cart parade and they drove right passed our rig, and even waved. But they were certainly quiet about it. I mean, what’s a 4th of July parade without a marching band?
Miss Karma is really growing up, certainly a good bit heavier that the 7# 9 oz. she weighed a few months ago when we got her spayed.
I’ve tried tried to weigh her here in the rig, but she won’t have any part of it, even if I try to weigh us both together.
Sorry about the sparseness of the blogs recently. We’re just hunkering down to avoid the heat. I’ll try to have some apps ready for tomorrow’s blog.
Picture of the Day:
Amazing photo of a thunderstorm over the Pacific off the coast of Panama. Taken by an airline pilot, the storm is being backlit by the lightning strikes inside the clouds.
