Another beautiful day. Pretty cold last night I think it may have gotten down to the low 30° mark. It was a little foggy this morning, but the fog burned off around 10:00 or so. Ended up a short sleeve shirt day. Well not quite that warm, but comfortable. I think it got around 68°. We really did not have too much planned today, but just sit around and relax. I did get up on the roof of the motor home to see if I could find out where the water got in to the compartment this winter. No luck looks good to me. Probably going to have to wait until it rains again to see if I can figure out where it came in from. I have a sneaky hunch it came in from the slide out rubber gaskets. Looking at Eds 5th wheel on his slide out there is a metal flange that goes around the rubber gaskets along the top and sides. Really think I will have to fabricate something like this for our motor home. We will still need to contact our insurance company to see if they will cover any of the damage that the water did to the coach. The trouble with it I think there may be some damage to the inside walls that you can’t see.
One of Alma's Pets Outside Back Door
We had a fantastic dinner with Alma and Ed at there home. We really enjoy their company. Ed is retired from a large company back east called Norton’s. They made all sorts of specialized equipment for factory’s as well as many other types of materials such as specialized sand paper. Ed is real knowledgeable and has traveled all over the United States. Really love there home, which it located on 10 acres of land up on a hill above Coquille. Really have a nice view of the valley and the far western mountain range to the south.
Last year they had several large Myrtle trees on there property fall during a wind storm. Ed had the trees milled and had an outfit in Coquille make some of the prettiest wood flooring I have ever seen. Later on I will take some pictures of the flooring in their new addition and post them on our blog.
Did not go fishing and started working on getting our crab traps ready. I need to buy some rebar to add some weight to the crab traps to help keep them from drifting in the current. Since Coquille is a small town with a population of around 4185, there is not many stores open on a Sunday, so will have to wait until tomorrow and possibly go into Coos Bay.
