Lots of stuff to get caught up on at work today after being off for three days. Will work tomorrow and then leave Friday morning to drive up to Chambersburg for Linda's brother's viewing and service. Our employer has been really great with us needing the time off last weekend and then now. We are really new and don't want to mess up our relationship with them but they've told us to take all the time we need to take care of this. Great company!
Tonight we used the macerator to dump the grey tank. Only took about 3 minutes to empty it out...slick as could be.Took longer to get everything out and to hook it up. One of the most time consuming tasks is undoing the short slinky sewer hose from the Pivot EZ. I think what I'm going do in the future is to leave this slinky off and just rubber band a baggie over each opening so it's easier to undo and hook up the macerator. What was really slick about the whole process was that I bought a hose reel for the garden hose that we use to dump with so all we had to do was unreel the amount needed over to the dump station and the rest was still on the reel. Hook up the short connector hose (that came with the reel) and we were off and running (literally). When the tank was empty, Linda just cranked the reel and wound up the hose...
Last night we got a really bad storm through here. There were a couple of minutes of really high winds (the rig was rocking), pouring rain and a whole lot of lightening. There were four guys in the rig beside us having a cookout and drinking beer at their rig. The storm hit and they were trying to gather all their stuff up in the deluge that hit them and get inside but I'm sure all four were thoroughly soaked. The people, up near the entrance to the campground, who gave me a ride to the auto parts store had a EZ up canopy next to their tent and it didn't fare well in the storm. Steve and his wife came home from their son's place, in the city, to find it in a crumpled up pile against the wooden wall behind them. We came home from work today to see them setting up a nice new unit. She told Linda that they went to Sears and bought an actual eight person tent which should work well for them. This one seems to have vented walls so the high winds may blow through the walls instead of blowing them over. We hope they stay safe and dry. There is a potential for more storms tonight.
