I told myself that I would put on my big girl panties and go to Bigfork: storage locker specifically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BUT, I did not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good news is that as advertised, it was a lovely cool day. At this writing, 4:02 p.m., it is 73F with a nice breeze and all windows open … NO AC!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bad news is that it is VERY, VERY Smoky!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No Mountains!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No ash falling, but smoke smell is heavy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are fires in all directions, nothing close enough to cause concern, but it doesn’t matter which way the wind is blowing, we are going to have smoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I guess the good news is that I do not feel guilty for just staying home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the smoke and the concern for those that are in fires paths, I am grateful for a reprieve from 2 weeks of heat. The past 2 weeks were hot enough that after morning time outside, we were mostly inside with A\/C going from 9:30-10:00 a.m. until the following morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A note about Wild Thing II’s AC vs Wild Thing … WT had Winnebago’s “basement air” which I thought was great as no roof top AC units. But, now that I’ve experienced roof top AC, at least what the Bigfoot has which is a unit mid ship with main vent in the kitchen and secondary vents forward and aft in the bedroom … current set up is MUCH quieter and still efficient in cooling all of the space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve had AC going all night for the last week and been very comfortable as far as temp and sound. The Winnebago’s basement air unit was under the bed and was loud. It efficiently cooled but the noise!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all succumbed to day after travel day “slows:.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow is another day. Today we napped.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
