The sun finally came out a couple of hours ago. It’s too late to reach a full charge again today, but it was enough to get some juice into the computer and iPad with enough left over to run the furnace tonight. I also enjoyed a couple of hours in the front room with a cat in my lap, enjoying the warmth of the sun. It’s freezing again, but it was nice while it lasted. 🙂

I would have gladly moved to an RV park today, but there isn’t a single one that opens before mid-May in this area. It’s supposed to be nasty again tomorrow, but the promise of full sun on Wednesday is keeping me from being too depressed about this less than stellar start to what was supposed to be an attempt at a solid month of boondocking. Well, I haven’t given up yet and as long as my fridge is running, everything’s fine. At this point, my batteries are reaching the end of their natural lifespan and I will shortly be plugged into 120V for an extended period of time. So I don’t care about running the batteries too low. But they seem to be performing well for the time being.

This afternoon, I ran into Walmart to grab a cheap pair of gloves. I cut off the tips when I came in. Ah; warm hands! Not having sore joints is definitely improving my mood. I should have done this ages ago.
