May 13 - mostly unpacking

You'd think that it wouldn't take too long.  Well, if that's all that you plan on doing, it takes a long time :).

Actually I did also go into town.  I found out a number of things:

1) Port Loring post office is being moved to Nurse's Station
2) Buchanans is thinking about putting in Diesel, not 100% sure yet
3) otherwise nearest diesel is Restoule, open M-F
4) not much in the way of groceries; not even skim milk.  We need a cow and a way of skimming the milk.

I visited with Betty for a while.  She had our mail from the winter.

Jim came over later and we chatted.  He picked up his lawnmower. 

It's hot in here.  Perhaps I should let the fire die out.  Perhaps I should open a window ?  I'm trying to make it feel like Florida.  That feeling goes away when I go outside.

I did get the UPS setup with the two car batteries that came from the boats in Florida.  I now have another six small gell-lead-acid batteries to add to my collection of a dozen or so up in the garage.  I'll have to get these to a recycling depot at some point.

I took out some sausage for dinner and frozen peas.  That works for me.

The water is low.  I've got to see if I can move my dock.  I think that it's pretty well grounded.

Sandy will be on her way north shortly.  I'll be heading to the dump shortly to help Jim and a crew with some cleanup.  That's what I came north for ... (just kidding, happy to help as long as the black flies aren't out yet !).

Onward ?  Hopefully.
