Eighty degrees yesterday. A cooler windy blustery day today.
We have this spinner on the roof (an anemometer) that controls the retraction mechanism for our patio awning. Any wind over a preset amount, about 15 mph, triggers the awning to retract before a bigger wind blows it off. That’s a common problem with patio awnings; the wind comes up when you’re not there and destroys your awning. Usually we can tell when the wind velocity gets above 20 mph, because we get a buzzing sound from the spinner on the roof, but not this time. No buzz. We had the mobile repair guy check it out while he was fixing some other stuff and he found that the bushings were worn and replaced the spinner. We’re not perfectly silent in the wind. We can still hear and feel it, but it’s one level quieter inside the coach now.
The annual property owners meeting today. That was not real fun. Turns out we have issues. And attorneys.
Hard to ride the Trikke in the wind (upwind), but I’m getting better at it. Nice to have that for an exercise option even on windy days now.
Got a flock of six great egrets flying over the RV Park this afternoon.
Got a great view of Venus and the moon together last night.
A Wilson’s snipe came to visit our yard.
