With the necessity to send out Hubby’s labs via Fedex (I hate Fedex!), I left him in camp and ran out to do various errands. First to the camp office to pay for another two days (though I learned there’s a drop box out here somewhere, which would have worked just as well). Then I arrived at the Fedex Ship Center in Franklin at 11:30, only to discover a sign on the door saying they were closed for lunch between 11:15-11:45. Figures. I put the package in the box outside and hoped for the best. Then I ran around trying to find some kind of air compressor that would replace the crappy Kensun I bought (it worked ONCE, then died). My first stop was Harbor Freight, and there was a little pancake tank type compressor I thought might do the job, but I couldn’t understand why the label said 100 max PSI while the gauges all went up to 180. After a half hour of asking the same question of the staff there, I never did get a good answer, so I gave up on it. I ended up with something from Home Depot, not sure if it would work, but it said it would go up to 130 (I need 123 psi on my trailer tires), fingers crossed. Picked up a few things at Walmart and finally got back to camp after 2:30. I tried out the new air compressor, but it hardly budged the needle on the trailer tires, so I’m back to square one. At least with Home Depot I can take it back later this week in Ohio. Discovered we had some neighbors tucked away in the woods on the other side of camp, and had a chat with them about their solar array, wondering how theirs worked, and whether there’s a system that could just recharge our batteries as a supplement to using the generator. If we can keep the batteries charged up, the inverter would do the rest for us. Settled down for the evening, enjoying the fact that for once when the forecast was for rain, it actually didn’t rain! I hope that trend continues, as we’re planning on moving on Wednesday, and they’re definitely calling for rain on that day. Here’s hoping!
