Rainy domestics day
End of March, feels like early March instead. Not KOLD, but cool and damp and dim,,, Lots of cloud cover up there today blocking ol’ Sol from the surface.
Sorta too bad that I decided to do my set up where I did yesterday, over the origninal plan. Too many prying eyes where I did set up and didn’t want to stay long. Had I been able to set up at the point (way far away from put in) I might have made the call to Da “gonna camp out tonight, feed me kats please,,, Cya tomorrow”
Had that happened, I would be able to give ‘first impressions’ on bad weather capabilities of that ‘Kit’. Not that its rainin’ and blowin’, but it is damp as hell. ElBee came in shaking and throwin’ off the damp a while back and called it a day. (he’s now sprawled on my bed, ‘DONE, not goin out, mreow!’) Granted, I don’t like tearing down gear in the damp. Would much rather it be dry when I tear things down. BUT, its camp gear, it’s designed to be damp at least every once in awhile. Would just have to set it up Temp-like to dry out at home.
And I do enjoy paddlin’ in the rain,,,,
But not today. SOON,,, Probably in a couple weeks, after the schools re-open from Spring Break. Clear things out a bit from the campsites before the summer crowds hit. (Also known as BUG SEASON; the flying blood sucking kind and the more noiseum two legged sorts.)
Speaking of bugs,,,,, Even yesterday, there were gnats: not swarming like they do in summer, but enough that I did see them. Won’t be long now and the Skeeters are gonna be out in force. At least we don’t get the Crow sized sorts like the coasties do: the ones that arrive on aircraft carriers and swarm entire campsites with blood and buzz,,, Bug nets are the only hope in those instances, as the bug spray is a mere intoxicant to those monsters, making them bolder and tougher,,,,
Anyhooozzzz It’s time for me to be productive and get my cleaning out of the way. No fun n games until thats done, and looking outside right now, that may be ‘sit and read’ day,,,,

Update: I thought I had hit publish on this around 7am, ,, oops
