Awake: 6:53am Temp 55 Morning clouds then clear Overnight @ San Diego
After coffee & before breakfast, we move our coach to another site about
600 ft away. We’ve decided to stay for 3 more days & the site we were in
is now rented out beginning at noon time. Then I walk to the office & pay
in advance for our next 3 days stay.
Mid morning, the mobile RV repair guy drives by & stops. He knows the
Newell motor home & we chat about that for awhile. Then he reports that he
lived in Alaska for over 30 yrs before moving to San Diego. Among other
topics, I tell Tony about my hub axle reservoir & the fact that I’d like
to make that repair here in this campground but their set of rules
indicates “no mechanical repairs.” Tony has been catering to this & 2
other campgrounds for over 20 yrs & tells me that my job is not a
violation of the rules. “Go ahead & fix her up” he says. He even let me
use some of his permatex sealant for the gasket. About an hr later, I am
finished installing the new axle reservoir hub & filled it with some new
75-95 gear oil. So far, I see no runs, drips or errors. I’ll leave the hub
cap off overnight to give it a thorough check in the morning.
After lunch, Kathy & I drive to Pacific Beach (10 min) & walk onto the
pier & watch the surfers in the Pacific Ocean. The waves are not that
strong this afternoon for the guys to get a good ride, but it’s still fun
watching their attempts. The pier we are on was constructed in 1917…then
10 yrs later, they added about 17 cottages on part of the pier so you can
literally sleep on the ocean. As we walk by these cottages, we see a
number of them being updated with new kitchens, flooring, railing on the
back porches, etc. We do a little strolling along the sidewalk next to the
beach soaking up the sun while enjoying the beach scenes & the cool ocean
breeze. It’s another beautiful day here in sunny San Diego. We do some
local shopping before returning to the bus @ 5:30pm.
7:30 Dinner: Ahi tuna, broccoli with goat cheese & balsamic glaze, wild &
brown rice, & a veggie salad of snow peas, mushrooms & red peppers. No
bread tonight.
Later evening: No good movie to watch so we do our own thing…reading &
photo album labeling.
High time today=65 Lights out: 11:17pm
