Day 207

Today was a travel day.  What's to describe about a 400+ mile trip through west Texas?  At least it was uneventful.

When we left the basement positively reaked with the smell of gray water.  It was so bad during the night that it woke us up in the trailer.  When we got to Van Horn the smell in the basement was gone.  I took everything out and crawled in to try to see what might be wrong.  The only thing that I could find was that the caulking around one of the tank pipes was no longer sealing anything.  The caulking I had with me was toast.  So I put everything back and we walked a couple of blocks to a NAPA store to buy some.

Unfortunately the combination of 90+ heat and the 8 hour drive left me with no energy to unload the basement again.  Doing a recaulk will have to wait until tomorrow.

One note.  It's 85 degrees at 9 PM.  It's also 5% humidity.  That makes it a lot more comfortable than San Antonio was at 72 degrees.  And there's no danger that the AC will ice up.

The trailer park we're staying in is kind of nice.  It's cheap and has super fast wifi and good cable.  That's more than you can say for Blzing Star - no internet and lousy cable.  It's like the club, between the freeway and a busy rail line.  But it seems to be quieter.

I'm not looking forward to another 400+ mile trip tomorrow.  At least I'll get to rest on the next day.
