More Wind!

A brisk north wind blew all day, snapping the flags about and waving the treetops. When we went out to walk, we bundled up and tried to protect our eyes from the blowing dust.

Our neighbors behaved very strangely. They were evidently trying to stabilize their TV dish, which the wind was disturbing. What made it odd is that they spent several hours at it. They added tie-downs. They struggled to point the dish. And they took turns standing outside in the wind holding the dish. We have no earthly idea what was going on. People do the darnedest things, and you get to observe lots of them in campgrounds and RV parks.

Our Qube was also displaced by the wind, but we just packed it up and put it away, along with everything else we had outside. It was a real trick taking up and folding our patio rug with the wind whipping it around, but we managed. However, the next time we unfold it, we'll have a job removing all the sand burrs that had stuck to the bottom side!

Tomorrow morning we'll take Venture in for repairs, so we spent today getting prepared. We had to remove everything from the bedroom slide, which meant relocating all the "stuff" we keep in the storage area under the bed and in the nightstands and overhead cabinets. Everything had to be relocated from the cabinets under the sinks too. Plus we had to pack for something like an extended camping trip: we'll be camped out in Spauldings' Texas room for the duration.

As Ken said, it's a good thing we have a big truck!

We'll have a big day tomorrow. Hope all goes well.
