After dinner last night I was reading on the computer when a spider ran across the screen. I attempted to squash it, but it got away. Now I don't like any kind of "bug" in my trailer, but I really don't like spiders. Probably comes from my much younger days when I had to carry firewood into the family house when I was in grade school. There were large spiders in the woodpile, and if you didn't manage to knock them off the pieces of wood as you stacked it in your arms, you found them while carrying in a full load.
Anyhow, I spent the next 10 minutes looking for the spider with no success. At least it is in the opposite end of the trailer from my bed.
It was warm enough for my morning walk to be done in a "T" shirt @ 64°F. There were only two empty sites at 9:00AM. A few pulled out during the morning, but the place is still pretty full. One of the empty sites is the small either van or tent site (18) but for some reason a guy came in & set up his tent in the large pull through site next to me. He may have made an on line reservation without knowing it was one of the larger sites in the campground.
After breakfast, more sitting & reading; current book is Asta's Book by Ruth Rendell. Not my usual fare, but interesting. I'm listening to Infection by Scott Sigler. Evidently, he made podcasts of the 3 book series first, and reads the audio books himself. Not the best reader I've listened to, and a very drawn out story. Not sure I'll finish it. Later - I didn't finish it. I rarely give up on a book, although it does happen more often with audio books. In any case, I started listening to Edna Buchanan's 3rd Britt Montero book Act of Betrayal.
After lunch I headed for the showers again. For some reason the water was not as soft as it was last time. No idea why.
Back at the site I put away the grill & 5 pound propane tank and pulled the plastic mat. I had to sweep the leaves off it before folding it away. The bag I keep it in is falling apart. Need to find a new one. The Guidos found one at a Camping World; if I see one I'll stop.
Dinner was an Amy's Cheese Enchilada bowl.
