I don’t know which of these is worse:<\/p>\n
1) I can’t remove the auxiliary propane tank’s hose from the Extend-a-Stay. The joint is stiff and I can’t remember if it’s a right or left turning joint, so I’m worried about damaging the very pricey E-A-S by forcing the connection in the wrong direction with a wrench… since just jiggling the connector broke something and the hose is now leaking. I really hope it’s the 30$ hose that’s damaged and not the 100$ E-A-S. So, no propane until I get the rig tank filled. At least, it’s mild during the day, but I suspect the next couple of nights are going to be chilly;<\/p>\n
2) My water pump turns on but does not pump water. I’m really hoping that this is a case of something being frozen;<\/p>\n
3) I’m not having any luck starting the generator.<\/p>\n
Since I’ve unhooked the city water and I can’t use my water pump, I don’t need to worry about my grey tank filling up, so I’m going to stow away the sewer hose now that the sun has been on it for a while. There is no convenient place for me to store the 10′ rigid PVC pipe I purchased, so I think I’m going to have to stow it inside! When spring comes, I’ll bungee it to the roof or the ladder.<\/p>\n
I’ll be putting away my desktop computer shortly and when that’s done, departure will be official.<\/p>\n
Today turned out to be a gorgeous day and I think I’m going to regret not leaving. Then again, it was the first day that I could really unhook my water and sewer connections and do other work outside. Because the weather forecast is changing almost hourly, I’ve decided to leave tomorrow and just pull over at some point if things get ugly. That said, if I have no water, no propane, and no electricity boondocking sure ain’t going to be much fun. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
