A Day in the Life (of DL)

This may be interesting as all-get-out or may be seriously dull. Read as much as you care to read!

AM:
Coffee. But first, get out of the warm, cozy bed and into the 41 outside, 60 inside camper. Quickly change clothes. Then coffee, oatmeal, toast or some other easy breakfast. Feed Jack.

Wash dishes. Secure all loose articles. Close all doors, windows, vents and the over-bed storage area.
Take dinette table down and secure. Make sure all electric and gas appliance toggles are Off.
Empty litter box and get trash ready to go.
Double check the above.

If we're at a full hook-up place, drain grey and black tanks. Pack up hoses in black bag. Turn off water and pack up hose in blue bag.
Raise stabilizers from each corner. Pack blocks on which stabilizers have been resting. Remove lock from camper hitch (someone could still steal it, but it would be a hassle) and turn gas tanks off.
Back car to hitch. Connect ball, chains, electrical and emergency brake cord (in case the trailer comes off the hitch- it will brake the trailer.) Remove hitch stabilizers. If ball hasn't completely connected, move car an inch or two until it connects. Make sure pin is engaged!!
Remove chucks from wheels, back and front. Pack all the blocks and chocks in the red bag. Red, blue and black bags get locked in the under-bed storage area.

If Annelle isn't leaving from the campground, load her bike. If we don't have sewer hookups, drive to dump station and empty tanks.

Drive to the drop-off for Annelle. Once she takes off, continue on to the next campground.

Midday:
Do a lot of the above in the opposite order. Of course, that's after either pulling in or backing into the site and leveling. All by myself. It's a process, I'm learning.
Eat a little something. Hang out with Jack, read, clean (sweeping is a twice-a-day event). If we had boondocked the previous night, plug in anything that must be charged, especially the cordless drill (stabilizers up, stabilizers down) , the Mophie chargers and the computers.
When Annelle texts her last stop (usually about 8 miles left for her) leave the campground to pick her up. This, of course, depends on how far it will be. Some pick-ups are 3 miles, some 20. We have a system!

Later afternoon:
Get back to camp. Explore. Shower, chill, think about dinner. We're trying to hold eating out to 1 night a week, depending on where we are. One cannot pass up fresh seafood when available. We often combine lunch and dinner.

Evening:
Annelle spends lots of time looking at the route for the next day. She had everything tentatively mapped out before we even left Georgia, but there are crazy things that come up and maps actually are updated way more often than she had expected. We make sure we have reservations for the next few nights.
Do some reading. Get in bed way earlier than usual- hey, it's dark.

We've had 1 rest day and it was way too busy. We will have the next one in Provincetown on Saturday and plan to play/explore all day. NO WORK! (I'll do it Friday when I get to camp- laundry, etc.) Annelle will be riding to the campground (and taking the ferry from Boston) and I'll have my longest drive yet to the tip of P Town.
