Woke up to the cool down that has been forecasted. Sunny but cooler…in the low 50’s which is probably typical for this time of year, but morning temperatures have been riding in the mid-60’s since we got out here. The temperature was expected to top out at in the lows 60’s today but my phone indicated that it stayed in the high 50’s. Still good weather, just not at all what the last week has been like.

Kim went to Casa Grande to get the rear-view mirror reattached; I stayed
behind. I wanted to do the laundry and finish a gnome. I took the laundry up to
get started, came back to work on a gnome and started watching Wicked. Set an
alarm so I could go up to transfer the wash on time and again for when the
dryer was done. It kind of broke up the continuity of the movie, but thankfully,
I’ve watched Wicked enough times to know the storyline. I was also able to just listen until the good
watching parts came up. But let’s face
it…every time Elphaba and Glinda are on screen together is a good watching
part. So maybe there was less working on
the gnome and more watching the movie.
----------
Too breezy to work on the gnome outside but by dropping the ramp, I had
the best of both worlds. Sitting in the camper, I could see and feel the warm sunshine but was
protected from the wind.
----------
Miscalculated when it was time to go up to get the wash, so I had 15
minutes to waste when I got up there. I looked around the clubhouse for
something to read, found nothing but there was a puzzle in progress at a corner
table. Figured that’d be a good way to pass the 15 minutes.
What I learned is that it’s very hard to come cold into a half-completed
500 piece puzzle. I struggled for a few
minutes then started getting my puzzle groove on. Figured out that someone had
put an edge piece in the wrong place and when that was rectified, other pieces
were easier to place. So, my
contribution to the puzzle in the corner was correcting the edging and adding
maybe 10 pieces. I felt accomplished.

Today I saw only one confused bee flying around the back feeder. I do wonder, though, if the coolness of the
day had something to do with their absence in general. Doesn’t matter...I’m
crossing my fingers that the bee problem has been solved by getting new
feeders. The hummers shouldn’t have run the bee gauntlet to get to the feeders
and I didn’t enjoy having them buzz around my head. Again, they were polite and didn’t sting, so that’s
a mark in their favor.

Kim had a zoom meeting today, so I had to make myself scarce for a couple of hours. What to do, what to do…that was a big decision. So many options. I drove the truck over to Toltec Rd. to look for
----------
Took a walk when I returned from my truck retreat. Supper was ready when
I returned from my walk. Ham and another
try at mashed potatoes from potato chips.
And this time, they were the correct consistency for mashed
potatoes. No soup for us!!

The TV we bought for the camper last year is a tight fit in the cubby
hole allotted for it; the other night Kim struggled for over an hour to get it
down and finally gave up. Tonight, he did a search and realized what he had
been doing wrong. Walked over to the TV and had it out in a matter of minutes. He
hooked up the Switch and voila! we had another entertainment option. Just as I
was about to call ‘UNO’, my controller died.
Aghh! Not sure how long it takes to charge but I hope the game picks up
where we left it. It’s so gratifying to beat the AI guys.

No imaging again tonight. Too cloudy.
