Moon Me...

 

It's been a while.  Since I've gotten my Nikon DSLR out.  With all the action cam and 360 camera stuff I've written about in the past few months, the Nikon has been sitting in its case.  I've been meaning to get it out to get some photos of some of the scenery on South Mountain that the "little" cameras can't do justice to.

It was a hot day yesterday: 115º for a high.  Murphy couldn't have any outdoor time until after sunset, and while keeping an eye on him out in the yard, Joan said, "Oh, look at the moon coming up over the mountain..."

I went inside, got out the Nikon, and turned it on - the battery had one bar left... that's enough to get the shot...

 We are coming up on the Strawberry Full Moon, which will be tonight.  I'll leave the camera out and maybe get a shot of that.  Yes, I did charge the batteries.

More getting-ready-to-go stuff to get done today: first on the list - get the cargo trailer out of storage and to Discount Tire for a new set of tires.

Out of the house just before 8:00, and off to the storage place.  We rotated the cargo trailer in the spot and hooked it to the Equinox; that car does a fine job pulling the cargo trailer - we picked this model because of the factory towing package, including a tow/haul switch on the gear-shifter.

We were early to Discount Tire; they got us checked in, but didn't get to us until just a few minutes before our scheduled appointment...

They had two guys on it, so the work went fast - less than 20 minutes later, we were on our way.  Back to the storage place and tucking the cargo trailer, with its pretty new Goodyear Endurance tires, into the space behind the coach...

Joan is putting the tire covers on in the above photo.  We did start the motorhome, again for the exercise.  Next planned trip here will probably be Sunday, when the coach will get washed and the fresh water tank sanitization started; maybe take it out and top off fuel and propane.

Another thing checked off the list.

While having brunch out (no, not really "brunch," but a meal between breakfast and lunch), I got a text from Steph - it was a photo of a container of Potato Ole's from Taco John's, with the note "Getting the good stuff."

 

I sent her back a photo from Waffle House, saying, "I laugh at your puny good stuff."  ;-)  She thinks I'm "spolt" (that's Texas-talk for spoiled)... I've had Waffle House more in the last 2 weeks than the previous 2 years.  Timing and placement.
