If you’ll excuse the expression. My first job today was picking up another bottle of gas before the Carrefour in Rouffignac closed and after that I sorted out the X-Air panel wiring. When I checked, I found that I’d wired the other 12V socket, the DIN, in the same way as the cigar lighter socket ie it would only work with the engine\/mag switch(es) turned ‘on’, so I changed both, so they will work independently of them, when the master and aux switches are on. The engine hours gauge, though, will still only work when the engine\/mag switches are ‘on’, which is definitely how I want it to function. <\/p>\n
Then it was time for lunch and after that it was time to get down to the hard stuff, namely collecting all the branches left on my front lawn after Christian had finished his pruning work yesterday. I didn’t just have to get them off the grass, I also had to chop the thin stuff up so I can take it to the ‘decheterie’ tomorrow in my trailer and saw the heavier stuff up that I want to keep so I can burn it in my new ‘poele a bois’ next winter. Well, I did it, and quicker than I thought I would, but now I’m pretty whacked out and ready for a sit down. I can’t watch TV because I haven’t replaced my satellite box yet, so I’m enjoying a second glass of Cabernet Sauvignon while I type this. And I may even have a third, to finish off the current wine box and start the next, and then I’ll start clearing up and thinking of taking a nice hot shower. Tomorrow I really MUST cut my front grass or I’ll be disappearing again into the jungle at the rate it’s growing. So that’s two jobs on the list already for tomorrow. Ah well… c’est la vie en France. And don’t I just love it \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
