Another Frosty Morning

The frost was all over our car this morning when we came out to go home. The temperature dropped to the high 20's and we had to sit while the car warmed up and the windows cleared. It's interesting that the temperature swings here are so big and sudden. It is expected to warm up again, starting today, to the mid to high 60's again. It will be welcomed, as we have a water pump problem (?) and can't use water unless we are connected to the hookup which is risky with the low temperatures. We left the water dripping into a pan at the kitchen sink when we went to bed so that we could keep it connected outside. We have to be careful not to fill our grey water holding tank before the "honey wagon" comes on Monday to empty our holding tanks. It worked as the water is fine this afternoon.

There were no giveaways at work this time but Josie redeemed her "wild card" drawing from the night before. It was a Maglite professional flashlight of all things. We already have one of these big flashlights and it was a disappointment to her. I asked her if she expected to win a trip to Hawaii. It is still better than a $5 gift card to Sonic which is a place we try to avoid.

The article that we were interviewed for about Amazon Workampers has appeared in the Kentucky Herald-Leader Newspaper in Lexington. It was, of course, disappointing since the reporter spent quite a bit of time talking with us and Hank, and he took lots of pictures - none of which appeared in the article. The article wasn't scheduled to appear until tomorrow, so we don't know what happened with that date. Anyway, it does describe that Amazon is appreciative of all the workampers.

For some reason, I wasn't able to connect to the internet on my computer today, so this is being written on Josie's system - thanks for the backup. All I need now, on top of the water pump problem, is a computer problem. I don't have enough time to work on either until I get a day off on Tuesday. So, it's 10 hour work days which allow us to do something between "nothing" and "not much" during our spare time on those days. We keep telling ourselves that it is only for 3 more weeks and the money is good. It sounds like today's entry is full of complaints, but there are occasional days like that. The sun is shining though, and we are healthy and doing what we love to do. What could be any better? Until tomorrow...
