It was pretty chilly overnight! We tried out the old electric heater, but while it does work, it's not putting out nearly the amount of heat that a 1500 watt heater should.
We decided we need a new one. Fortunately, Walmart has one on sale for $20.
I changed the overflow tube for the fresh water tank. The previous owners had left it unattached, so that it would drain into a plastic bag in the event of overflow. Everything they did was not done properly! It was difficult to get hooked up, which I guess is why they didn't bother, but I got it done.
The clear plastic is the overflow tube I installed.
It was very difficult to get my hand into the other end to put the clamp on!
The old tube had 31 years worth of nastiness growing inside of it.
We stopped in to see my mom later in the afternoon, then to Walmart to buy that new heater for $23, tax included. It will do just fine!
As we left Walmart, it was starting to spit with rain, and there were some weird clouds forming in the sky. By the time we got closer to the campground, I decided to pull over at the equestrian park and take some photos...
Very strange.
And then we did get an hour or so worth of rain and lightning, but we just managed to get back to Igor so we didn't get wet.

Nice deal on this T-fal Ingenio Cookware Set. Great for the RV, with nesting pots and removable handles.
And in Canada...
Those look like mammatus clouds...I've seen them a few times in my life. They are interesting!
ReplyDeleteAccording to the local news these clouds are called Asperitas clouds. They were definitely pretty neat to see and quite rare so they say.
DeleteThat's a new one on me....will have to read about them. So you had a sighting of a real rarity. (Probably not your first....) I do enjoy your blog!
ReplyDeleteIt's a new one for us too! Apparently the cloud formation only got officially accepted in 2017. Even the meteorologists don't have a lot of information on this type of cloud because they so rarely happen that they can't study them enough. Here is an interesting article from our local TV station. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/asperitas-cloud-ottawa-weird-strange-wavy-cause-1.7345169#:~:text=They're%20known%20as%20asperitas,the%20pictures%20after%20the%20fact.%22
DeleteWe are glad that you are enjoying our blog. We think that this coming fall and winter our travels are going to make for some very interesting reading as we explore more of Mexico in Igor.
Thanks for the info, and yes I AM looking forward to more of your explorations....
