Travel to Boulder was pretty easy. I had put some fuel system cleaner in the tank and I felt like it helped, but still got 100 miles on first quarter tank of gas. Got set up easily and started to enjoy it all. The weather has been hot and humid with dew points ranging from 62 to 72.

Cooler this morning and I really slept well. Started a fire and fixed bacon, eggs, and toast.... so good.
They really remodeled the campground. They paved all the sites and they are really very large. Some are close together, but those that are on the lake have really nice views. I am on site 33 which is nice, and can receive satellite (which was another issue... turns out that the cable from the Wally to the receiver was disconnected. I called Dish and the tech was not able to help me and gave me to the next level. But just as I was calling them is when I noticed to had been disconnected. Once I get it connected everything worked fine.) Internet connection is good so have been able to watch some movies. Mint is working well.
Rain has been all around me but we didn't get any. They prevented me from getting the boat out to see how it all is going to work. Might try in the morning.
Rode my trike around the area a few times yesterday and today. Not a lot of places to ride so only put on 4 miles so far.

Slept really good again last night. Fixed some cereal this morning because I want to work on the boat. The weather finally looks good for it.
Blew up the boat, with my electric pump, but waited until 7:00 am because it is a little loud and didn't want to disturb my neighbors. Everything worked well.
Started playing around with the motor figuring out how it works and finally got it attached to the boat. It is a lot larger than I expected it to be..... Oh well... more power???? I did run into one problem that is preventing me from taking it out on the lake here..... the connections to the battery are for a standard battery and I am using my scooter batteries which have different connections. Going to have to order some 8 AWG connectors..
Tried to mount the boat on a 2 wheeler but I need to do something so the boat can rest on it since when I lift it in the front it tends to bend.

Slept great again. Had pancakes this morning but didn't start a fire.... getting lazy in my old age. Watch a great movie... Ticket to Paradise.... happy endings... I loved it.
Getting ready to leave for home, but not in any hurry. God has again been so wonderful to me on this trip. Different though because I never did talk with anyone. Looking forward to seeing family again.
