2/25/10 Thursday
Today was a relaxation day. On Wednesday I had cooked some chicken breasts in the Sun Oven. Today the chicken will be part of the Chicken Corn Chowder that Christine had made for us in Hot Springs, AR. This morning a loaf of bread went into the Sun Oven and was out by lunch time.
We had made an appointment with Solar Mike for him to take a look at our unit at 2 pm today. Before heading down to meet with him, I put the Chowder in the Sun Oven.
Solar Mike looked at our system. The batteries we have need to be replaced. He said that one new battery could do what the 4 batteries we now have are doing plus more. Also the converter/inverter we have is not working properly. The converter is not working and the transfer switch is not working either. We decided to do nothing until we get back home and then look for batteries and have someone try to work on the converter/inverter. Bummer!
There was another camp fire last night. Mary cooked a wonderful lasagna and salad. She is a great cook! It sure is nice to have these camp fires again.
Saturday there is a chance of rain here and also in Bakersfield, CA. That is to be our overnight stop when we leave here. Not wanting to drive in the rain, we will leave on Sunday morning instead of Saturday. Everyone says we can’t leave without going to hear the entertainment on Saturday night so hopefully it won’t rain that out.
I think we might be becoming Slab-itized! Or so our new friends are saying. We are learning all about how to save a spot until the following year, how to dig a gopher hole, where to resupply on water, etc.
The next post will be the requested recipe for the Chicken Corn Chowder.

Ahhh that Mary is a great cook! They stopped here once in Wisconsin for a few days to visit, parked in our yard. She cooked here for us too. What a gal! Socks and Ringer enjoyed our river too, and running around in our woods.
