Propane

Tiny Propane Backup Tank

1am - Little Scampy carries only one propane tank. We ran out of propane in that tank on New Year's eve. And had to go out late at nite for a propane fill-up!

We decided right then, that we needed to carry a backup propane tank. There is no room on Scampy's tongue for a 2nd 5-gallon 20-lb propane tank. Where would we put it?

We found an answer! Use one of those Coleman pre-filled 1-lb tanks! An adapter was found in Amazon [Link].

8am - Scampy needs no hook up
We had a Team Meeting this morning. The subject of this meeting was to determine Scampy's present condition.

We took a roll call. Everybody was in attendance! Of course, Little Scampy was there. MsTwayler, Mr. Dometic, Baby Boid, Little iPhone, MacAir, MrSunny, MrWave3, Jack and last but not least - Little Honda.

[Did we miss anybody? You may not recognize a Team Member or two. Let us know in comments if you want info on anybody.]

Well, after nearly everybody had their say, it was moved and seconded that Little Scampy is 100%! He is now able to go anywhere and stay as long as he wants to stay without any hookup!



2pm - Rainy Day Session
Today the weather is rainy and windy. So, we are declaring today

a "Rainy Day Session!"

This means that we are not going outside and will stay inside MsTwayler all day. 

We are doing a winter cleaning! Going through every nook and cranny. Throwing out unneeded stuff.  Putting things into order and the right place. In general, putting everything into apple pie condition!


Cooking
Yesterday we went grocery shopping at Smart and Final. S&F has come to be our favorite grocery! Their meat department has Weekly Specials of which I take advantage. My favorite is the steak special which often goes on all week long. Yesterday, I brought home three 1" thick rib eye steaks. One steak makes 3-steaks for me! They are sooooo BIG!

We also bought an Anchor Hocking covered dish. Now we are able to prepare a brisket pot roast! Cousin Jacky gave me her secret brisket recipe. I can't wait!

6pm - Music
My father and mother both were amazing musicians! 

My father was successful at almost anything physical that he tried to do. For example when he was in high school the music teacher was trying out students for the school band. He gave my father a flute to try out on and he just played it.

A few years later, as an adult, my father played in the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra.

When my mother was three years old, she heard a neighbor playing the piano. Her father, my grandfather, saw my mother listening to the neighbor and pretending to play the piano on the porch railing. 

On a hunch, my grandfather took my mother to the next-door neighbor who had been the piano and asked if my mother could could try to play. She just played it. She just seemed to know where her fingers should go. 

All her life, my mother played songs for anybody who asked. She did not need music. She could play anything by ear.
