Jun. 11th, 2023 12:40 pmFields got planted full of tomatoes. Not sure why they go in so late. Maybe picking them mechanically, there's only one harvest, so they only need enough time to produce. I think that might be new as of last year. Tractor trailer trailers full of tomatoes were spilling them during harvest and I didn't pick any up for some reason. Maybe because I saw they were being mechanically harvested. Probably for ketchup or something. Guess I figured they're awful tomatoes. Got some black berries from the farm stand. They have some apricots but only a few. Still too early. Blackberries were large and only ok. The road-side cherry vendor is back advertising Bing and Rainier cherries. If they had tart cherries, I'd jam that. Maybe I'll get some to eat.
Projects mean lots of trips to (town of) Isleton and Rio Vista.
Shore power connector is in a terrible place. I'd just been dealing with that, but then when the cable went out, I did something different and just plugged an adapter to standard NEMA 5-15 US household 3 prong style, which I had sitting around, and have extension cords going around. I was doing that instead of using the two power outlets. Then it occurred to me that it would be convenient to bridge outlets to one of the outlets to one of the extension cords with a Forbidden Cord That Shall Not Be Made, so I made one and plugged premise wiring into an extension cord to shore power and it's great:
Thinking I might take the now unused existing shore power connector out and eventually install an external one in a reasonable location instead of having the big fat shore power cable come down from the forward hatch, over the little hobbit door which keeps you from being able to close it, and across the galley sink. At least extension cords are on the floor instead of strung around over stuff. Previous Owners are idiots. Probably especially myself.
Wind has been fierce but it settled down enough the other day that the trip in to Rio Vista was pleasant and reasonable.
