Got the trailer parked and leveled. Yay. Beer is cold Yay.


Shower plumbing: FAIL. Nap: FAIL. <Sigh>


When we turned on the water, the shower valve handle shot out, squirting water all over the tiny bathroom. The plastic threaded piece under the handle that holds the valve into the fixture had broken and allowed the handle and valve to be ejected once there was pressure in the system. A trip into Marysville (WalMart) yielded a tube of superglue which fixed the failed handle valve’s plastic part, and thus I was able to repair the plastic valve and restore water service to the trailer again. Of course, the shower head handle now leaked water from a crack in its cheap design, so electrical tape was my friend in this repair. Cheap plastic crap didn’t even last until the second year.


OK, now it’s time to EAT. Hmmm… Costco has both gas and Meat… mmmmm.

Grilled raw meat over open fire. MMM Meat. Fire good. Chicken and rice… still can’t figure out how to grill the rice though, dangit.


Cranked up the old school ROCK N ROLL. Jethro Tull, ACDC, Stones, Beatles, Foghat, lots of classics… woot! Several hours of ripped internet radio fits on a 256MB SD card that plugs in to the stereo. BTW what’s a “CD” again?

Son and wife are playing frisbee with the other kids.


Now its time for shower and bed. It’s a good thing we have a working water system with hot water again…
