Journal entry – 17 Mar 2016, Thurs – Irish Day, Cabins, and Tow Trucks

Today we get to move into the cabin, so we pack up, drain our tanks in preparation of the upcoming cold nights, and head to the grocery store. Pick up a few last items. In the parking lot we winterize for the week, adding the safe antifreeze to the fresh water tank and run it through all of the lines.

Head up to the cabin, pull the trailer and motorcycle into the garage, then maneuver the RV into the driveway to get it off the road. Came in too sharp, however, and ended up bottoming out. Lots of 4×4 trucks in neighboring driveways, but everyone seems to be out for work with no doors answered. Had to call a tow truck to get pulled free.

Settled into the cabin, we have Irish breakfast tea with some “digestive biscuits” in front of the fireplace. Very much makes us think of our time in Ireland.

I make some soda bread (using some of the whole wheat flour from our CSA in Gilbert) while Ashley puts together the Leek and Potato soup. Kerrygold butter on the bread… Wow, is everything delicious!

Rented a couple of movies from RedBox and we enjoyed watching those with our tea and after supper. The Martian and A Walk In The Woods.
