Monday allowed us to have devotions in the morning, and in the afternoon we had "Ain't it great? Visit with 8!" where we got together with 4-8 folks and just talked and got to know each other. No planned meals together so it felt a little more relaxing for folks like me who are preparation-challenged with potlucks!

Sunset Monday evening.

We went for a "walkabout" on Tuesday morning...
 |
...when we got back, Miss Kitty was enjoying the sun on the front dash again...
|
 |
... she likes the sun!

She looked like she was going to fall over while sleeping sitting up, but she never did!

We are using our solar panels to help keep the batteries charged, and running the generator when we need to use the stovetop or oven, but we haven't been able to get the batteries up to full charge. Yesterday, we tried turning off the inverter during the day so no loads would go against the batteries from 110V and solar got us up to 91% charged. The last part of the charging, when it gets to float charge, seems to take forever. In Miss Doozie, we could count on the house batteries getting fully charged when we were driving as we had a huge alternator, but that isn't a given with Gracie. We'll need to figure out the right combination (maybe more panels) to get the batteries fully charged at least every 3-4 days if we're going to do more boondocking.
