We started the day like we do most days, in search of a good cup of coffee! We ended up at this place called “Grind Time.” It was a little family owned coffee shop and we had a nice time talking with the owners. They had something on their menu called a “chugachino” which is a mushroom coffee. I was intrigued, but decided to play it safe and just go with a pour over of their Ethiopian coffee. However, I got a packet of the mushroom coffee to go. One day when I’m feeling brave, I just might try it!
Then we spent like 5 hours at Home Depot (at least it felt like 5 hours). Jimbo has some “home” improvement projects he’s working on to make our tiny house better. One of them is building a larger platform on the tongue of our trailer so we can add another battery. Ever since we bought it we haven’t been able keep the battery charged longer than a few hours while we were boondocking. We suspected that the battery they sold it to us with was bad, so we changed it out for a new one, but the problem only got a little better. So we’re hoping that a second battery will help us keep a charge for longer. We’ve lost all of the food in our fridge a couple times because of this issue, so we’re praying it works! We’re also looking into adding a solar panel. RV living is definitely a learning process, but it’s all part of the adventure!
For dinner we went to a food truck park in Mesa, AZ. They had lots of great food trucks, but our favorite was the Freedom Drinks food truck. They made crazy drink combinations. For example, they had Dr. Pepper with chocolate and cherry flavoring, Coke with blueberry purée, and lemonade with peach purée and fresh lime (just to name a few).
