8/13/07 Too Hot To Do Anything

Another scorcher today!

We pretty much stayed in today with the exception of a run to Walmart for groceries. The temps are still in triple digits with no end in sight. We had hoped to get to the St. Louis Zoo or the Botanical Gardens on this day off but that is simply out of the question with this heat.

Needless to say, Bob isn't doing any roof replacement this week either. He has been spending his days replacing light fixtures and wiring in the main building. Much cooler for him being in the air conditioning.

Once again we spent hours on the computer checking out campgrounds and RV resorts in Arizona. We have it narrowed to a few that we really like and are affordable. I don't know if we'll make reservations before we even leave here or if we'll get to Arizona, stay at the local base and check them out in person before making a final decision. Pictures on the Internet can be deceiving we've learned.

"Hitch itch" is really setting in now. Of course with that comes a lot of work. Before we pull out of here we'll have to go through every nook and cranny looking for things we can get rid of to lighten the load. Since we still have way too many clothes with us I'm sure we can lose some pounds there. Neither one of us have had a pair of dress slacks on since we left home. They have to go since we're not wearing them. We'll keep the bare minimum.

Since we left home......nine months as fulltimers as of today. Wow, that time went fast!

Temps today reached 104 degrees. Thankfully the humidity level is low as it is in the 40% range. To hear the locals talk you would think it was in the 90% range. They don't know humidity!
