Chilly.

6.33 AM

Farther down, where I used to park when first coming to Waldrens years ago because of the Friday Threat, and I wasn’t crowded out by some monstrosity rig. Wasn’t bothered at all. Can’t believe it, and frankly I needed the quiet and space.

It’s cold like further into Autumn. I like it a lot but it might mean I get caught unawares during the night, because it’s not cold at 8-9 when I’m closing down

Extra curve in the pic is the moveable dark screen which drives me nuts each day. Has cantankerous spring wire frame.

7.15 AM First rays here.

10.45 AM

Fabulous shower in the bush on grass by the river under overcast skies.

Sun came out. Now finished silicon on the rear hatch hoping it might catch a rare drip, and plenty on the battery compartment edges and table, the latter worn off.

Pain in the arse waiting for it all to dry but with rain forecast later in the week I’ll appreciate it then.

2.41 PM

Got to Waldrens early, about 20 minutes ago.

After doing the silicon, I redid the lanolin spray inside the front doors, and closed them back up.

Then hand washed the car. Quick but direct. Should help when I car wash it tomorrow.

Came here to the rest area and did some more silicon because the tube will harden. More on the battery compartment edges, then on the awning bolts and a bit more on the hatch.

Having a coffee. No one else here yet. Got the same spot. Who knows what I’m on for tonight but I’d be screaming lucky if it went like last night.

Summery day, nor easter pretty strong, but all very comfortable.
