Today Diane went shopping at the North Island commissary to, once again, replenish our food. She knows exactly what to get by checking what shelves are empty. Glad she can do that. I always have to ask her where things are. Perhaps I could pay attention when things are put away, but it’s easier (for me) to just ask when I need something. The things I eat most are laying on the counter – apples, bananas, avocados, tomatoes, and coffee. OK, that’s not totally true. The coffee doesn’t remain on the counter, and I know exactly where it lives.

While Diane was gone, I took Max for a long walk then I got out the cleaning gear and began the process of making the RV shine again. I’ve actually never done it before so it’s about time, right? Jeff used a buffer and got rid of a lot of mars caused by trees that got too close to us over the years, but it still needs to be cleaned. Not an easy task. I’m limiting my task to everything below the 5-foot level because my arms don’t work well above that height. I have a ladder, which would help, but that adds another element of danger besides ruining my arms. So, I’m keeping it low for now. Perhaps I’ll get brave before we leave here and give it a go. My decision about that will depend totally on what Diane thinks I should do.

Oh look! There’s a helicopter!

Did I mention there are lots of those around here?

After Diane returned, I brought everything she got into the RV, and she put it away so I wouldn’t know where it is. Then she did some laundry, and I helped a bit with that. When we got the clean stuff back to the RV, we had a wonderful dinner of one 4-minute microwave TV dinner each then she locked herself in the bedroom to watch TV. I had to stay in the living room area and watch the Oregon Ducks beat up on Michigan State 31-7. It could have been worse because the 1st two TD attempts by Oregon were intercepted in the end zone.

All afternoon we were serenaded by a really loud base guitar what sounded like it was right next door. I checked outside and think it was coming from one of the boats in the harbor. Outside it’s not nearly as loud as it is inside. Very irritating.

Today is my shower day. Diane said so. So, I need to stop, go brush my teeth, and make good use of our facilities.

Hope everyone is safe and happy. We only have 3 days and 1 nitenite remaining at this location then I’ll have to see if this thing still runs. Cross your fingers for us.
