Typical Day

It turned out to be a typical day here yesterday. It rained just over 1" and we had winds that averaged around 20 MPH all day and night. It has already rained nearly .2" today and the wind is howling. We worked our second long day and left the office at 5:30 PM last night and went to a local Pizzeria in town for dinner. It was an excellent pizza and we decided we have found our pizza place of choice while we are here. The place is called Gallucci's, and it was crowded for a Monday night. On the way home we decided to see the beach access that is across the street from us and we captured the following shot of the setting sun through the clouds:

That was one of the very brief peeks of the sun. Maybe we will get to walk on the beach this weekend as the forecast is still for nice weather to move in by Friday.

We aren't sure exactly how long we will be working today as we went a little over on our time on Sunday and Monday. They have pretty strict budgets that they follow here and they have our total hours figured out pretty close to what we need to make while workamping. As the summer season approaches and the park gets busier, the budget expands to accommodate more hours. We should be working to around noon as our normal time for Tuesday.

I do know that we need to fix a couple problems with our TV system on our days off. We have been watching TV using the cable system here at the park since we have to upgrade the software on our satellite dish receiver before we can use that. It seems that DirecTV made some changes in their programming that have affected the pointing parameters for the satellite dish. Our dish is made by MotoSat, and the receiver for the dish can be reprogrammed using some equipment they are sending me this week. After that, we will get our new DirecTV receiver activated so we can get back to watching our normal TV shows. We also have to fix a problem with our Samsung TV that involves the power supply. The TV has been taking longer and longer to power up when we turn it on. The problem began over a month ago when it started taking about 10 seconds to turn on. Now it takes over 3 minutes to power up once we turn it on. This is a common problem with Samsung TV's so we hope to get it fixed this weekend - under warranty. There's always something.

It is frustrating for us to see almost the whole country "cooking" while we are entrenched in this rain, wind and cool weather. Our turn is coming though...
