Pancakes & More Breakfast Tuesday Morning

Posted on July 17, 2023 by Sharon Elliott

As you well know, Sutherlin is experiencing a significant summer event known as the
Throwdown. 30 BBQ and even more Corn Hole competitors are in Central Park, along with wineries and breweries. To assist those setting up, breakfast was served by members of the Timber Valley Garden members.

Chef Denis and 16 others participated and enjoyed the activity so much that we plan to replicate (mostly) on Tuesday morning, July 18th, at 8:30 am in the Clubhouse. The menu includes orange juice, pancakes, bacon, and the “White hHouse Coffee Cake.” the charge will be $5.00.

There is no need for you to cook when we can do it for you!! See all of you on Tuesday morning.

Squirrel Droppings #2 or “BUT WHERE DO I PUT…?”

Posted on June 27, 2023 by webadmin

–by Fred Prout

Sometimes life gets in the way of living. Sometimes stuff gets in the way of other stuff and pushes some of that other stuff aside. For a while, anyway. Sometimes it ain’t all about you, Bucko, so, “Ride that painted pony “ etc.

For the past too long, my me has kinda been elsewhere. Most of it still is, but, recent events have given me the impetus to chronicle these events and share them with you. You have forgiven me many things over the years. Perhaps too, this delay.

Repost of Important Information – RV Electrical Use

Posted on June 23, 2023 by webadmin

Experienced RV travelers know that many RV parks struggle to provide electricity during very hot conditions. Timber Valley is no different. During the recent heat wave, an “Alert Sense” message asked you to run only 1 Air Conditioner. However there is more you can do to help!

Having a Washer/Dryer in your RV is a great convenience, but it can draw as much electricity as an Air Conditioner! Running both at the same time as 1 Air Conditioner is like using 2 Air Conditioners. Consider using the Washer/Dryer only in the cool morning.

The electrical element on Gas/Electric water heater and RV style refrigerators also use as much electricity as an Air Conditioner. Consider switching them to gas mode in high heat conditions. Convection ovens? WOW….MORE than an Air Conditioner.

If you are unsure how to run RV appliances on gas, please don’t do it until you get help from your favorite repair person.

The following chart shows the electrical “amp” draw of common electrical appliances. Consider how you can help keep our electricity “flowing” in high heat conditions. Dirty or poorly maintained air conditioners draw more “amps” than shown.

Air conditioner 13  Iron  8
Coffee maker  12  Microwave  8
Convection 15 Refrigerator 3.5
Converter (charging)  8 Space heater (1600 watts) 13
Computer 2 Space heater (800 watts) 6.5
Curling iron 0.7 TV .5-1.0
Electric blanket  2 VCR 0.2
Hair dryer (1500 watts) 13 Washer/dryer  13
Hair dryer (400 watts)  3.5 Water heater (electric) 12

We all share in controlling our electrical energy use when these very high temperatures strain our Park electrical system.

Thanks for your cooperation!

The PCM Committee

Jacks & Jill Guidelines for Review

Posted on June 9, 2023 by webadmin

Dear Jacks & Jills Member,

As directed by the Timber Valley Board, we have been working hard on updating the Jacks & Jills guidelines and creating guidelines for kitchen use. We believe that we’ve made significant progress towards presenting the proposed guidelines for a vote at the Jacks & Jills meeting on June 26.

To help ensure that all Jacks & Jills members have the opportunity to review and comment prior to the 26th, a copy of the proposed guidelines has been posted on the Timber Valley Website. Printed copies will also be available at the mail room. In addition, we are randomly distributing copies to various park members. If you are one of the recipients, feel free to share your copy and/or discuss with park friends and neighbors.

For any comments, questions, or concerns, email dvanwest47@gmail.com, text or call me at 714-273-0743, or simply come by Lot 182. Please submit your inputs by Friday, June 23 so we have enough time to include them for discussion at our monthly Jacks & Jills meeting on June 26.

Thank you so much for your time and attention!

Dave Van Westen
Jacks & Jills Chair, 2022-2023

====================================================

Note that proposed changes to the current guidelines (dated December
2021) are highlighted in yellow, and marked with a superscript indicating
the corresponding explanatory note in Appendix 1.
