Nobody Bahrumpapumpums like little drummer Bing

#CampingWithJeff

As Bing started signing Gloria, it was “Gloria in excelsis Deo" not GLOOORIA

#CampingWithJeff

Now Bing has me craving for some Figgy Pudding

#CampingWithJeff

Next up is Gershwin Plays The Rolls

I think it’s him playing real keys to some of his earlier works that were on paper player piano rolls

He replays them for a period recording

#CampingWithJeff
#Gershwin

At one point I thought he was really jamming with a recursive loop and call back

It was just the CD skipping for a few bars that was just timed well #CampingWithJeff
#Gershwin

The Gershwin disc was fun

I think these songs were composed in the 1920s and were hits with paper rolls for player pianos and sheet music

That’s where the money was before affordable home playing of recorded music

Some great changes of meter and chords that I recognize from contemporary jazz and modern Prog Rock

So many notes and only two hands!

#Gershwin
#CampingWithJeff

Me and Mick are about to light this empty trailer park on fire

My 5 watt boombox with 4 inch speakers is UP

#BigAudioDynamite

If the RV is rock’n don’t bother knock’n because I’m just boot scoot’n and the door is wide open

#CampingWithJeff
#BigAudioDynamite

The Clash meets early 21st century techno makes me happy

Who’s up for more B.A.D after midnight?

This guy

At least for a while

#CampingWithJeff
#BigAudioDynamite

Left Crab Paradise about 1 this afternoon and got to Salem by 4, just before dark

I’ll be staying in the camper through Christmas at least

#CampingWithJeff

Got the gas oven burning

Going to cook a frozen pot pie!

#CampingWithJeff

#JazzWithoutBoundaries is getting really funky tonight

#PublicRadio
#CampingWithJeff

Pot pie is almost lava

First timer for 32 minutes at 400 just went off

Going a few more minutes

Been hard to keep the temp accurate

#CampingWithJeff

It’s 51f with rain showers

I like having the door open when possible, especially when I’m smoking

Having the oven on for about an hour was bonus heat

I have a small AC space heater running

That usually keeps it about 60 inside

Gas furnace is available for cold nights or at least getting dressed and making coffee in the morning

#CampingWithJeff

Just closed the door at 9pm and turned on the furnace

At 9:17 it is 70f and warm enough to put my jammies on

I leave the electric heater running but I also have a canine foot warmer

Just poked around my new Apple TV app with my first iPhone

Since data availability has been an impedance to video streaming

No TV for two weeks now

Past me downloaded all of #StarTrekTOS and at least one episode of #FireFly

Will have to up my download game once the internet tubes are bigger

S1E1 now on my phone screen!

#CampingWithJeff

TVs back on the menu boys!

#CampingWithJeff

This home smoked cheddar and dilly beans from last summer plus crackers were part of a holiday gift basket from friends

Woke up at midnight hungry for this and was very disappointed when I couldn’t find the tin of sardines I thought I had in the cupboard

Alas, no fishes with my nosh

#CampingWithJeff

One thing I miss about living in a house instead of the camper for extended periods of time is a comfortable chair

Not even a big recliner, a plush armchair with a footstool would be fine

I only have the benches for the dinette table

I can get pretty comfortable with extra pillows, but just not the same for extended periods of lounging

#CampingWithJeff

Finally have trousers and shoes on by 11:15

Didn’t bother to until after noon yesterday

#SlipperLife
#CampingWithJeff

I haven’t bought any media from Apple since I got my iPhone

I did buy some on iTunes years ago when I had an iPod Nano

I now have some shows stored on my phone for viewing when no streaming is available

#CampingWithJeff

Shitters full

Outhouse is a couple hundred meters away

Managed to drop a load there during a lull in the rain about 5am

Too rainy to even step outside to pee on the ground so I just open the door and piss into the wind

There is a dump on site, waiting for a break in the storm before I drive over to it

Last night’s storm had winds 20+ with gusts in the 40mph range

Camper was really bouncing around

#CampingWithJeff

Got an extra doggie visitor in the camper

My dog Bingo is sleeping in the background and Damu woke up when I tried to snap a picture

#CampingWithJeff
#KingBingo

My no signal TV watching from downloaded content is getting #Shiny

I had all of Firefly plus Serenity available to load up

#CampingWithJeff

Man! That first episode of #FireFly is an action packed adventure extravaganza!

#CampingWithJeff

#FireFly rewatch E:2

Two by two, hands of blue

#CampingWithJeff

So past me bought the first 20 episodes of Game Of Thrones for my iPod

Now that I have an iPhone I downloaded them for offline viewing

Haven’t rewatched it since it ended

Baby Arya looks so innocent!

#WinterIsComing
#CampingWithJeff

That Bran sure is a good climber!

#WinterIsComing

That Joffry seems like a nice boy

I used the rice cooker for the first time this trip

I sautéed some onion and a large tin of chicken with teriyaki sauce for dinner

Left the leftovers in the pot overnight and added a can of black beans and some more garlic and hot sauce for breakfast

The regular cook cycle warmed it up just right!

#CampingWithJeff

S1E4

#WinterIsComing
#CampingWithJeff

I’m now watching Jonny Quest on my no signal downloaded TV content on my iPhone adventure

It sure is loaded with Imperial Colonial racism

At least they made Hadji “one of the good ones”

The futuristic tech from the 1960s is still fun though

#CampingWithJeff

Just finished season one of Game Of Thrones on my no signal downloaded iPhone content

THERE BE DRAGONS!

Edit: I’m a bit disappointed. When I first saw the list of stuff I bought on iTunes back in 2012 for my iPod I saw 20 episodes.

Alas, only the 10 episodes of season one and 10 bonus content clips.

They were actually pretty interesting!

#WinterIsComing
#CampingWithJeff

Just started #Fringe on my no signal downloaded iPhone content

#CampingWithJeff

Just bought a new deep cycle battery for the camper

I was going to anyway because it didn’t last long enough, but this morning we heard a LOUD pop while plugged into AC power

We checked the battery and the plastic cover had popped off due to pressure

Disconnected it immediately and went to the store

All systems within normal operating parameters

#CampingWithJeff

New media option for the camper. It has a telescoping crank up antenna mast with digital antenna

Found a new 32inch tv for $79 US

On setup it scanned 17 channels

I Stopped when it hit METV TOONS!

I haven’t watched OTA TV since the 80s!

#CampingWithJeff

A few of the channels are a bit too glitchy to watch and some are God or shopping, but there are a few good ones

#OTATV
#CampingWithJeff

Starting off the morning with METV: Dragnet then Adam 12. Sure hope Emergency! Is next!

Watching OTA commercials makes me miss the relatively shorter ad breaks on free streamers like FREEVEE or TUBI

I’m 62 and all the adds are targeted to people older than me!

Saw one for TV Guide magazine last night.

Trying a rice cooker experiment

Chopped up an apple and am running a cycle with one cup of water, just the amount I need for 1/2 cup oats

Once the apples get soft I’ll add the oats and start another cycle

Got some honey too!

Edit: worked great!
