We took off for Astoria today. I would have labeled this blog--rain, rain, go away, come again another day. The day started out with a glowing orb in the sky and quickly disintegrated to that stage of not quite rain and not quite a mist. Just enough to use that wonderful intermittent windshield water feature, at least in the early afternoon. By mid afternoon, it was full on wiper on the drive. Stayed that way for the rest of the trip. It was three and a half hours just to get there. The reason--we'd had enough of the fuss over the batteries so it was off to Costco for a nice set of 6 volt batteries. We've checked the starter set--both 12 volt and think they are fine for the time being. We'll see. Loaded up all 6 and started the trip back. More rain so the going was a bit slower. While going through the back roads of Oregon in a drizzle there was no reason to hurry. Left everything in the car and walked thru the rain back to the boat.
Rained through the night and the forecast is for rain for as far into the future as I can find a forecast. What is with this state? Don't they know about sunshine? Does mold and mildew rule their lives? I'm from Colorado. I know there is a Sun up there--Hey come out and play with us!!!
Today, read up on installing the new batteries. With all the charging equipment on Zephyr, I want to make sure I do it right. If I don't get them installed til tomorrow, that's fine. Off to the manuals.
