We moved into the 50 amp site this morning.  I don’t think Millie’s “scary dog” plan worked but we let her think it did. It’s a nice roomy site with 50 amps but this Elks Lodge only allows stays of one week or less so we will be searching out another spot in a few days.

John went to the locals “coffee morning chat” at McDonalds early this morning.  Senior coffee prices draws all the elders in for morning chats and John was happy being the youngest of the group.   Back at the LilyPad the “always something” was the automatic blinds.  One was not working so they all had to be reset.

I’m ready to begin my lessons from the master on treasurer hunting with a metal detector now that we are settled in Brookings.  Dad is going to teach me and I’ve always wanted to try.  Better late than never I say.  Both dad and I have one and I can’t wait to pull mine out of the basement and finally put it together.

Took a drive to Samuel H Boardman State Park to let the pups run on the beach.  Too windy for us so we watched people climb around on the rocks.

One gutsy gull was perched 18 inches from me and didn’t move when I took the picture.  A few seconds later it was flailing, feet and wings stretched out in all directions, as the wind blew it off kilter…too funny!  Recouping, it stood its ground and its intense stare until we left.
