We left Fort Flagler State Park a few hours earlier then we had planned. We was told the (only) bridge off the island was getting inspected and was having delays up to 20 minutes long and since we had to get propane we left at noon over the planned 1:30pm.
We got off the island with no issue at all and even got our propane and was able to make the U turn back on the road which was a stress since traffic there can be tricky but all was well and we went to the ferry terminal and tried to get on the 2pm ferry but they was full due to low tides canceling 2 earlier ferries so there was a backup of sorts.
The ferry was also running late, our reservation was suppose to leave at 3:30pm but it was after 4pm before it finally took off. We arrived at South Whidbey State Park just before 5pm.
We parked Ackbar in our space, and since we wanted to use our awning we backed up farther to avoid a tree only to start sinking, lucky for us, we was able to get out. So at the time being, there is no chance we can use our awning.
As we was setting up I smelled propane, and sure enough the relief valve wasn’t all the way close… Grr… I paid for that, the least the propane person could do is make sure she closed it.
I then started to set up the dish for the tv. We was told multiple time that this spot has great DirectTV access… After 3+ hours I gave up. I did not even get a bump of signal.
Good thing there isn’t any NBA playoffs or NHL playoff game 7’s that went into OT or anything… I would be ticked if I missed that sort of thing.
We showered and then “ate” what few leftovers we had left, somehow this week “meal planning” has been completely ignored, normally we have plenty of food to choose from, but this week the fridge seems more bare then usual.
After I showered I went outside to make sure I closed a compartment door and as I was walking past the propane I heard the HISSS and smelled the propane, Pauline brought me some light and together we discovered the T mount we had installed last Fall and still have never used, was leaking at the end of the hose. (The end you screw into a propane tank) I have zero clue why or how, but it was leaking.
Ok. Fine. Whatever. We got the wrench set out and took off the hose and put the plug on and we will just add this to the ever growing list of “what needs to be fixed now”.
I can’t say this has been a bad day, but it for sure was not a good day.
I better not miss the Pacers game tomorrow night…
