Temperatures later this week are supposed to dip into the 30’s, so took Delores into Middlebury to top off the propane tank. Wouldn’t want the mice to get chilled after they’ve stripped all the insulation out of the RV. Also was getting low on honey roasted peanuts, again. I think the mice must be getting into them when I’m away. Even though the RV smoke detector was replaced with a new unit on 1 June, the every-one-minute beep started going off last week, indicating the battery needed replacing. Done. Detector started beeping again yesterday. So I called the First Alert customer service line this morning. A nice lady took all my info, then asked me to put the battery back in the detector to verify the fault. Do you think the fool thing (obviously a cousin of Delores) would cooperate? Right in one! Now going on 10 hours with nary a beep to be heard! Got a course of stone laid and cemented in 2½ sections of the between-column walls. Mosquitoes were horrendous. Had to bathe in Deep Woods Off and use the ThermaCELL lantern in order to work with both hands. Called the mosquito control people and asked them to send ‘round their spray truck. And remember: I don’t always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Michelob Amber Bock. Stay thirsty my friends!
