Home-improvement: after six months you get tired of going back-and-forth once or more per week to the campground’s laundromat. What to do? You drill a 4 ¼ inch hole through the side of your RV to install this awesomeness.
For those of you who may be wondering what the inside of your modern RV walls look like, take a close look at the core. It’s two sheets of 1/8 inch plywood, a bit of foamcore, and some fiberglass and gelcoat. It’s incredibly light and astonishingly strong.
While John worked today, I packed a lunch then coerced the Littles in the truck and drove us to the Edisto Beach, South Carolina over an hour away. Crazy, but mostly straight, two lane highways most of the way. We must have passed 150 churches in that 50 mile trip.
Kinda sad it took 6 weeks of Florida and half a week in South Carolina to finally see the Atlantic Ocean but now we’ve done it!
The Littles picked tons of shells and loaded their pockets. Some of the booty was left behind in our beach art.
On they way home we stopped off at a farm stand market and bought some veggies and a chocolate pie made from the farmer’s mother’s recipe. They have a family owned restaurant and they bake and can yummies to sell.
Another RV mod: this is a very quiet, USB-powered fan for the server cabinet. I left enough space to add another if one isn’t enough.
Without a fan, our server cabinet–which hosts two old Mac Minis, a dual-band router and GB switch, and a boatload of storage–was getting to about 110 degrees. A bit hotter than I want my consumer-level gear to be running.
With the fan, the cabinet is now a balmy 85 degrees.
Computers are much happier now.
Seems, after all, one’s plenty.
We have had weeks of beautiful warm weather to enjoy. Suppose it is a nice change to be stuck inside due to torrential rain… For the next several days. Sorrento Florida.
Heads up to anyone who might be on limited-bandwidth connections – the current XCode update is nearly 5GB. Might want to hit a Starbucks, have a coffee, and use their wireless for the duration of the download.
I’d told Software Update to just update everything last night before I went to bed. It was a full 12.5GB worth of updates later over my Verizon Jetpack before I realized just how big all of those updates were.
