Harry had a good time... the family was all laid back. Of couse Harry was thinking, "I'll be glad when everyone leaves"... he had his car packed, he was driving to Datona Beach for the winter.

We were lucky enough to have a break in the rainy weather... we attended a cousins reunion. About a hundred of us on my dads side got together at Hurricane, WV.
I am the oldest in our generation and I have an uncle youmger than me so the age differences are wide. Janet and I have been in Tennessee for 40 years... some of the family I'd never seen. All of my brothers made it to the reunion, my sister didn't.
Most of the people are still in the cooks line... the food was great... the desserts were marvelous. If I ever attend another I'm going to just have desserts... Janet can just roll me back to the camper.

I managed to get Janet into a couple of the pictures... she was content to sit with one of my brothers while i circulated.
Another good use for your TC... you can park nearby... just find a level spot.

We have had a lot of foul weather on this trip and enjoyed every minute in spite of it.
We moved back to te boat ramp just in time for the fog to roll in... and the black clouds were beginning to cover skies again. The solar panels were helping a little here and there.
A few fisheren showed up every day rain or rain.

In my year and a half of being medically laid up and not using the TC I forgot all of the functions on the Trimetric.
I had to go through and relearn all of them. Up until now on this trip I was at just watching the percentage used of the batteries. This is very important but the rest of the functions help maximize the 12 VDC electrical systems.

The camper batteries were down 27% over night... we seldom get more than 39 or 40% down even in the worst conditions...
Janet knows that if we get down to 50% to start our built-in propane generator... just push the button on the range hood.

It would be hard to get a full charge with this voltage... I charge the Optima AGMs at 14.4 volts normally, our PVSolar panels charge at 14.8 VDC (Which is allowed in the Optima literature)
