Hiya Sweetie!
I made plans to me our old friend Michele today, she’s driving up from Atlanta back to Monteagle and we decided to meet for brunch, though that turned out to be lunch as she was late getting started. Her aunt Joyce, who you worked with in Cincinnati all those years ago, passed away unexpectedly a few days ago, and they had the memorial today down there. After breakfast and chores, though, I decided to try to solve a water leak issue. Whenever I’ve got the pump on the fresh water tank, it’s been running every few minutes, which, of course, told me there was a leak somewhere, and I search for it a couple of times, looking for puddles under every plumbing joint in the trailer, but couldn’t find anything. Then the other day I finally pinpointed it to the outside spigot, which was good news inasmuch as I didn’t have to worry about floors or walls rotting through, which was my biggest concern. I decided to spend a little time seeing if I could fix it, so that’s exactly what I did. Didn’t take long, just had to cut a rough edge of the end and replace the clamp with a newer, smaller one, and the pump hasn’t run all day, so I guess it worked! I headed over to the restaurant, which was just five minutes away, just after 1:00, wasn’t sure exactly what time Michele would be there, and she arrived awhile later. Then we chatted and ate (Shepherd’s pie) and chatted some more, then came over to camp and chatted some more while Lola entertained us with her usual fetching game. It was 6:30 by the time she left, and right afterward, I looked up and the sky to the east was pitch black. I pulled the truck over to the water spigot to put some water in the tank, as it was almost empty, but it was running very slowly (this pump has a big leak at the bottom), so I just let it run and came back to the trailer just before the rain started really coming down. By the time the rain was over, the tank was nearly full, so it worked out perfectly. Watched a fun little rom/com shot in Vietnam, now I’m ready for shower and bed! A very pleasant day! Good night, babe! Love you!
