New
personal high for me today. We took a walk this morning, and
another this evening, and with a pedometer on, it says I walked 11,022
steps today. At a 30 inch stride, that amount to 27,555 feet, or
5.2 miles. I have to re-check my walking stride, and re-set the
pedometer, if necessary. The distance could be off a little, but
the number of steps is correct. Another item of note, is waking
up about 2:00 in the morning by a squirrel in the tree above the Motor
Home eating, and parts of the nuts he's eating, dropping on the roof of
the Motor Home. Sounds like a someone dropping bowling balls on
the roof. Alright, not quite that bad, but it definately makes a
crack when it hits the roof. High temp today was about 95 or so,
and late this afternoon, there was a thunderstorm that came through
north of here, and cooled things off somewhat. We didn't get any
rain from it, though. It's still 77 degrees at 10:00 this
evening, but doesn't fee bad at all. I tried something a little
different today that seems to have helped a little bit. When
parked, the Motor Home has a tendency to rock around a little bit when
we walk around inside, so on the way here, I had a 4 x 4 cut to
specific lengths, and I put them under the frame, to try to help limit
movement when we walk. So far it seems to have helped
somewhat. Well, there are a few pictures that I took today around
the campground. Can't post them all in one night, so here are a
few of them. |
A Jeep with a Popup trailer. Note the blue tank along side of the popup, being used for waste water. |
Ah, yes, Flamingo's. What would a campground be without at least a couple of them? |
And a Blue Jay sitting in a nearby tree. |
This squirrel has his head in a dish, trying to eat. |
And then of course, he's got to stop for a second, and check his surroundings. |
Somebody using a Cushman to get around. Note the chair strapped on the back for a passenger. |
This guy is ready to create his own wind. This fan reminds me of what they use in barns, or chicken houses. |
Then, there is the small powered scooter to get around also. |
Or maybe a golf cart. |
