A windy walk this morning. A bit warmer at 58°F, but heavy clouds. Back at the trailer I ate breakfast, then put the dry rum on the ribs I'll be cooking for dinner.
Around 11:30 I made a walk around some of the loops taking photos. Lots of folks still in their trailer keeping out of the wind but I found a few, including some "ducks" floating in one of the few ponds left over from yesterday's rain. I started a page for the rally, but I'll add the same photos here as well as on the rally page.

Now, at 12:45 it 67°F outside, but still very windy with gusts stated to be 35MPH. I hope I can keep the grill going at the low flame necessary to cook the ribs.
Most of the afternoon was taken by cooking the ribs. 71°F but still very windy. I ended up putting the propane grill in the Guido's firepit - it was deep enough to get it out of the wind. It only blew out once when I had it set on the lowest flame on one side only. I finally sat by it and tweaked the setting to keep it at 300°F. Three an a half hours later they were done. Dinner was ribs and asparagus.
After dinner I headed to the showers. A 2" fine spray shower head with adjustable water temperature. The problem is it never got hot enough to take it off fully cranked to hot. While there was no lip or shower curtain between the drying area & the shower, the floor slope was good enough to keep at least half the drying area floor dry. 2 hooks & a bench. Overall, a B-, the minus because it didn't get quite hot enough.
Until Tomorrow -
