Layover day

 

Sunday.  Jeff and Carol went on their way this morning.  We stayed here.

Saturday morning when I started the coach, the engine batteries sounded weak.  That night, when we stopped, I could smell the batteries out back.  There are six batteries; four for the house and two for the engine.  The house batteries have been changed.  They’re only a couple years old.  The batteries for the engine are original.  I think they’re shot.  The alternator charged them all day while we were driving and they were steaming when we stopped.  We found a shop that will have a look at it on Monday.  We’ll hope all we need is new batteries and nothing else got cooked in the process.

 

We must have adjusted to the time difference.  Now that we’re working our way back east, we didn’t wake up before the alarm.

 

We got a dozen birds in the campground.  Robins, blackbirds, orioles, swallows nighthawks, doves, finches, sparrows, phoebes, kingbirds, meadowlarks.  The usual suspects.

 

This afternoon, the sun came out.
