It Was A One Dog Night

Seriously, it got quite cold last night.  For some reason during the night the furnace decided to be cranky.  The fan was running but was blowing cold air, not warm.  The temperature in the RV went down to 57 degrees.  This prompted a middle of the night visit by Roger to the propane tanks.  Everything seemed as it should be so, Rog reset the furnace at 5am and turned it on and set it at a high enough setting to pump heat, which it did.  Further investigation in the daylight this morning revealed no apparent cause for the furnace's quirky behavior. We talked nice to it and hopefully it will behave tonight.  

Maggie was curled up in a tight little ball in her bed so we brought her up on top of the covers between us.  It only took one dog to get us warm (with the help of the furnace) and she seemed happier, too.  I got back to sleep eventually, but I don't think Roger did, and of course, reveille started playing over the base loud speakers at 7am.  

We took our morning walk around 9am and then Rog and I went to check out the BX - shopping for entertainment.  Nothing of interest.  They were setting up for Friday and it looked as if there were going to be some good sales.  Nothing that we need or want.  So, back to the RV for lunch.

I spent the afternoon washing windows and dusting venetian blinds. These windows are huge and there are a lot of them. Roger did the laundry while I was busy with the cleaning. It was a productive day. 

I tried to take Maggie for another walk mid afternoon, but she was being stubborn about where she wants to go.  If I head in a direction she doesn't like (such as to the walking path) she stops and puts all four feet down and backs up.  I tried to gently nudge her forward, but it wasn't a happening thing this afternoon.  If I let her lead, then she is OK.  Shall see where she takes us tomorrow. Tonight she is being a pest but finally settled down to help me with the blog. 



It was 66 and sunny today.  Another beautiful day.  

Tomorrow will be a quiet one for us.  Hope your day is Great!

  1. Hope the furnace doesn't act up again. I know Las Vegas is nice during the day but can get cold at night in the winter. And I hope Maggie settles down too! No fun for her, no fun for you and Roger when she is so nervous. We had a storm in the Sierra yesterday and icy roads just outside of town. Today is quiet and sunny. We are going to Carson City for our Thanksgiving. I am bringing the pies. I will be thinking of you!
