We will’t check very effectively for cooling when the solar spent Saturday hidden behind the clouds and it felt like fifty levels however Reuben didn’t an hour within the roof Friday and located a rusted connector in our rooftop air con. Fortunately he discovered no leaks of coolant of oil and with the rusty connection cleaned up it appeared prefer it was blowing cool.
So now we want our steering components to reach and we might be rolling once more. They need to be right here by Monday, when Reuben might be busy on the town see authorities bureaucrats and we might be getting our pores and skin checked by a dermatologist, so neither appointment might be ignored clearly.
Friday was sunny so we acquired out and walked Rusty however I’ll inform you we’re pathetic in relation to being chilly. And we price overcast with 55 levels and a light-weight breeze being chilly. So Saturday we huddled and did nothing helpful until you rely being below the covers (Layne) snoozing (Rusty) or studying (me) as doing one thing helpful.
Layne made cheese and avocado quesadillas for lunch, I drank innumerable cups of tea and completed a e-book concerning the aftermath of the battle of Waterloo in 1815. It as truly an attention-grabbing learn although components of it have been revolting. The wounded within the battle have been left to die after the battle particularly in the event that they have been French and a few lived for every week among the many corpses.
I used to be inquisitive about what occurred after a battle however the particulars of this one I’ll spare you. The shell hung round for weeks they mentioned and there have been a whole bunch upon a whole bunch of sightseers. I additionally had no thought Bonaparte shipped to England in an effort to retire within the land of his former enemy. Dozens of individuals drowned in boating accidents as they tried to catch a glimpse of Boney a prisoner on a British ship.
Then Layne requested me about bonfire night time, a phrase she present in a e-book she was studying. That acquired me pondering so on a whim I downloaded a e-book about Man Fawkes and the plot to explode the Homes of Parliament within the seventeenth century. I used to be taught about these things however I assume previous age brings doubt and curiosity. So now I’m delving into that historical past, non secular disputes, torture and violence. Simply what it’s good to maintain a chilly winter day at bay.
The fog above is Leone, certainly one of Marks rescues and the boss round right here. Rusty has been getting together with all 5 canines in right here and he approached the boss along with his tail wagging. The supposedly violent Leone was so shocked he strutted off like all bully who finds he doesn’t intimidate. I like him truly however Rusty’s potential to disarm him cracks me up.
This automobile is a Mitsubishi Delica, one of many earlier fashions and I fairly prefer it. It’s a excessive clearance 4 wheel drive van and also you’ll see it throughout Latin America nonetheless doing highway obligation. The largest downside is the shortage of room within the again however for a solo traveler certainly one of these could possibly be nice. Besides they’re uncommon as hens’ tooth within the US.
Mark’s house is open to the sky, he has achieved materials as shade however the center of the constructing is open to the sky. It is smart while you bear in mind it by no means rains within the Atacama Desert but it surely cracks me up.
Mark cleared an area for extra parking and put up a cover to cowl the area.
Leone monitoring his world:
Rusty checking his boundary. Canine are fairly sensible, they set boundaries and battle far lower than house owners assume.
Hamburgers tonight. Hopefully sunshine tomorrow. And no pores and skin most cancers however I’m not relying on that.
