No I'm not stopping blogging - just starting a new blog with a more relevant URL which is </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> http://travelinginrvandlivinginlasvegas.blogspot.com/</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Still calling it Golden Years but now it is More Golden Years. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm not real happy with the template but it is pretty close to this one. Can't get this one any longer. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is the complete header picture. It was taken a year or so ago while we were driving down Las Vegas Blvd. I cropped it for the header. </span><br />

No wind, no rain and not too hot. Managed 6400 steps. I cheated and took three short cuts on the way back to the house. How quick I get out of shape.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Our friend from Indiana, Tom, went home yesterday. I felt bad that the week he finally made it here was the week we got the new RV - so we were both either working in the RV, shopping for the RV or the weather was bad. So we pretty much just drug him around with us doing errands. No going anywhere fun. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A big bush next to us that is just beginning to flower. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Lots of the wetlands ended up here in our community from the rains. As we drove by today we saw the groundskeepers cleaning it all up. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This is our #4 son and daughter-in-law at a golf tournament, they posted this picture with the following caption - " Couples Club Championship/The divorce bowl. - AKA an excuse to wear obnoxious matching outfits." I thought it was funny. They are both golf nuts. </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh6KGElvV0IMbjKHuhoCu06RgO-l9zpKInPNBaLKetj89CQAiPv525hXgPVCckWUabcwUylaMk9DplGSl3IB5NXYqB3fC-G82tVkyXnVrOHWIlEkgGLZTZ6DVP1TDOfaRnN1Oz3CHYHKA/s1600/paulgolf.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh6KGElvV0IMbjKHuhoCu06RgO-l9zpKInPNBaLKetj89CQAiPv525hXgPVCckWUabcwUylaMk9DplGSl3IB5NXYqB3fC-G82tVkyXnVrOHWIlEkgGLZTZ6DVP1TDOfaRnN1Oz3CHYHKA/s640/paulgolf.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Watched NASCAR over the weekend - my favorite driver Kyle Busch won both weekend races for the second weekend in a row. Only the 2nd driver ever to do that. Watching a soccer game now - well Bill is I'm just listening - Barcelona <b>HAS </b>to win to have a chance to win the Champion's League title. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Weather is now beautiful, in the low 80s - but tomorrow the winds pick up again. No sense dusting today. </span>Carol and Billhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11920669106841440178noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096602703183804884.post-14498677987440685432016-04-09T15:27:00.000-06:002016-04-09T15:27:30.949-06:00Pictures from Vegas<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Still not doing much to write about. Working in RV - well Bill is working, I'm getting in the way. And trying to find stuff we put in boxes from the Alfa and when we do find it trying to figure out if we should keep it, throw it away, save for a garage sale OR find a place to put it. We also have company from Indiana who is staying with us. He is buying a house here in the park and we are dragging him all over with us.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I did notice this new sculpture just up the street from us. It is under the sculpture of the chairs that I posted a picture of a couple of weeks ago. Kind of cute. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> Yesterday we had some wind and rain and more rain overnight. So we went out this morning for a ride and to go to the Container Store for ideas. Came home down the strip. You can see the cloudy store - the blue sky between storms. Looking north up Las Vegas Blvd. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Had been home for about an hour when we got a real gully washer - lots of lightening and thunder. It stopped raining now but think I just heard more thunder. Supposed to be on and off for another couple of days. It has really cooled down. A few days ago it was hot enough to turn on the AC - which didn't work! Called the home warranty company and they sent someone over. Got two new parts for it and now it works fine - now that we don't need it. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Watched a race last night [on TV] Kyle won. A soccer game this morning - Barcelona lost and waiting for the Cup race later this afternoon. </span>Carol and Billhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11920669106841440178noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096602703183804884.post-60919188784969916372016-04-07T14:38:00.003-06:002016-04-07T14:38:31.948-06:00No news about any thingWe've been busy working on RV and we have out of town company.

It will be a busy one as we are having company from Indiana. Our good friend Tom is coming out to visit with us. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Yesterday we watched the big soccer game - Barcelona lost to Real Madrid. Nuts. We also watched the NASCAR truck race and Kyle #18 won in one of the trucks he owns. First time he has ever won at Martinsville. Got a beautiful Grandfather Clock as the trophy. Also kept busy running errands and getting things done in the RV. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">So any way we have a new family member. A 29' Class C Jayco Grayhawk. Decided it was time to downsize a little. It has three slides. Two in the living/kitchen area and a bump out in the back for the bedroom. Bill already doing something to the outside. [Good thing the house across the street got moved when it did.]</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> A look at the other side. We can only keep it in front of the house for a couple days so Bill is trying to get as much done inside as he can. I'll explain that later. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">They did not have one in stock with the entertainment center over the seats - so we got the one with a bunk. It will GO! And we will use that area for storage. Still haven't figured out how to do the transformation yet. The TV swings out - goes back flat for travel. On the passenger side is a sofa<strike>bed </strike> don't tell anyone - with cupboards above in one slide. On the drivers side another slide with the dinette. I don't know if we'll ever be able to figure out the camera/radio/cd/etc. etc in the dash. </span></div>

Las Vegas is among seven states featuring the program, launched by ArtPop founder Wendy Hickey of Charlotte, North Carolina, and brought to Southern Nevada by artist Dale Sprague, a former American Institute of Graphic Arts president. About 40 artists submitted works. In addition to Burkart, the Las Vegans selected are JK Russ, Diane Bush, Melissa McGill and Cheryl Hobbs, each working in different media and subject matter, but tapping into the area's landscapes and character, natural or fabricated."</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> I took my walk early this morning. Did over 7000 steps or 2.7 miles. Just around the corner from the house I caught the bunny on his way home. I'm assuming he was heading home as he didn't have any more baskets or candy to deliver. He is just resting here. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Also stopped to pick up a prescription - WOW - sure don't like the new medication program our insurance put us on. Today's pills went from $30 to $60 for 90 days. And one of mine has gone from $20 to $100 for 90 days. What a crock. </span><br />

Until Tuesday and then the temps will drop to high of 60 and low of 48. </span>Carol and Billhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11920669106841440178noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096602703183804884.post-57241768282448039302016-03-25T15:41:00.000-07:002016-03-25T15:41:26.149-07:00Morning Walk<span style="font-size: large;">The day started out pretty cool, but warmed up quickly after the sun rose. I put on my tennis shoes and a light weight jacket and started out for a walk. I walked around the community where we live. Managed 2 1/4 miles! At kind of a slow pace though as it took me almost an hour. Need to pick up a little speed. I did waste some time stopping to watch this bunny. I gave up and moved first. He just sat there without moving. Forgot to mention a couple of nights ago during the full moon the coyotes in the desert were in full yip and howl mode. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">On my walk I also stopped to check this out. It isn't the one across the street from us but another one getting ready to be moved. It is up on wheeled dollies and the center parts are all sealed off. I sure would like that rose bush. Wonder if they'll try to save it or just knock it down. Wish I knew when they were going to move it. But I guess I'll get to watch when they take the one across from us. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We are finally getting our mail delivered to our house again after having it sent to the mail box place. So this afternoon we went to the mail box place and picked up what was there and closed the box. Stopped on the way home to check out some Class C's in an RV lot. Just looking. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Then stopped at Denny's for a late lunch. I told Bill he better get filled up cause all that was for supper is leftovers and he doesn't like leftovers. I tried their new salmon skillet. It was pretty good. My heart healthy meal for the day. Fish and vegetables. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My we were young then! January 1978 Dennis, Paul and John, who passed away almost 9 years ago, are all grandfathers. Randy never married and Gil has a 14 year old son. And Bill and I are superannuated. Well I agree with part of the definition, but not all of it. [</span>1. retired because of age or infirmity. 2. too old for use, work, service, or a position. 3. antiquated or obsolete]<br />

And 1978 memories.<span style="font-size: large;">I am so sick of all the political stuff on TV - and we still have six more months of it. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Didn't do anything today, walked up to the clubhouse for some information and to get the stickers for our cars and the RV. New security measure I guess. As I was leaving I saw a man in an official park golf cart taking measurements of one of the lots across the street. So maybe something will start going on over there. Will seem strange to have homes there instead of empty lots. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Our new house numbers.- he changed it some from yesterdays pictures. Gives it more depth. And I took the tags off the tiles. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> Went out last evening and discovered the full moon over the desert. Yesterday the wind blew hard all day so there was a lot of dust in the air. It kind of gave the moon a yellowish tint. [And it looks like my camera has more dust on the lense]</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Guess I forgot to post yesterday. Didn't really do too much to write about. I did go for a short walk in the morning. This is our street with two vacant lots and the house they are supposed to move and replace with a new one - manana - or someday. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"> See the three helicopters up there. Every morning between 9 and 9:15 they fly over. We figure they are on their way to the Grand Canyon. I don't expect to see them today as the wind is stead around 25mph with gusts up to 40/45mph. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I had my fit bit on yesterday - it motivates me - except I forgot to turn it on. It hasn't been used for so long it had turned off. I was almost home before I thought of it. Oh well. It was just a short walk anyway. This morning I did a little over a mile and a half. But it is only 9:15 - so I still have more time to step, step, step.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Went to Hobby Lobby for a while yesterday. Love that store so many neat things there to look at. Only bought a couple of dish towels with Easter and Spring themes. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Bill put my hummingbird feeder up out back yesterday. Sure hope some find it. This morning on my walk I did spy one flying around. I told him to go over to our house but he flew the wrong. Surprised a bunny too. Or rather I should say the bunny surprised me when he ran out from under a bush right in front of me. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Nothing planned for today. Bill is planning out his window box planters. They are going to be pretty. And he has almost finished our house numbers - he made the frame we bought the tiles in Mazatlan. </span><br />

Because all my utility bills, credit cards and bank statements are paperless. I need two proofs of residence. They won't take a medical bill - have lots of them. And they won't take a copy downloaded from the Internet. Going to have to think about this. Both of us are going to have a problem. What a crock. Guess I'm going to have to try to call the DMV - ugh - for help on this. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Went out this morning to pick a few things up from the store,. I had to get my Peeps for the year. Got a couple of boxes. But I don't like them soft so have to open them and let them get hard before I can bite their little heads off. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Not a good sports day. Barcelona tied their game - they should have won. And Kyle was 2nd a few laps from the end when he blew a tire - sounds like yesterday. But this time he was too far from the end to keep going. Had to go change it. Ended up 25th I think. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Cooking the corned beef today. Just sounded good and I picked up two more at the store 'cause they were on sale. Like $5 cheaper than the one I bought the other day. Turned out very good. We both over ate. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> I put away my St Patrick's Day decorations and got out a few things for Easter. Again haven't used them in a long time. Glad we are home for the holidays. I made the place mats and embroidered the napkins several years ago. I keep different bouquets of artificial flowers from year to year for holiday decorations. And I usually have some little figurine to add with colorful candles. But I want to go to Hobby Lobby to see if I can find any spring like napkin holders.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">UGH - just finished watching the Xfinity NASCAR race. Kyle led most of the race. Had to really save fuel at the end, was afraid he'd run out. A few cars had already run out by the last lap. He was still leading until he BLEW a left front tire 1/4 lap from end. He got passed but he hung on to the car and drove it to the line to finish 2nd - never did run out of gas.</span>Carol and Billhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11920669106841440178noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096602703183804884.post-69621785188053522192016-03-18T19:36:00.000-07:002016-03-18T19:36:47.795-07:00This and That.Just a piece of trivia for everyone. Bill and I were waiting in the doctor's office this morning and I picked up a magazine with Michael Douglas on the cover. We both wondered at the same time -"Is Kirk Douglas still alive?" Neither of us remembered ever hearing that he had died. But then neither of us remember a lot of things we've read or heard in the past. So I looked it up. YES he is still alive, he is 99 and will be 100 on December 9th of this year. WOW.<br />
Had a Cardiac Echocardiogram this morning. Weird hearing my heart beat. Is one of the valves supposed to sound like a duck quaking? Hum...something to ponder. Also made the appointment with the cardiologist for the middle of April. By then my blood pressure should be REALLY high from wondering.<br />
Another warmer day here in Vegas. Starts out in mid 50's and made it up to around 83. The next couple of days should be warm then lots of wind and lower temperatures.<br />
Got my hair cut and had breakfast out. Watched NASCAR in the afternoon. Kyle has a fast Xfinity car and a so so Cup car. He'll start 5th in the race on Sunday.<br />
Other than that not much going on. Gathering up all the information and paper work we need to get Nevada driver's licenses. Good grief, I just want to drive my car not apply for the Secretary of State job. Proof of this, proof of that, won't take this, won't take that. Wouldn't be surprised to see a needle to draw blood when we get there. And I'm sure it won't be just in and out like it was in Brown County. I figure I'll take my Nook and a snack.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> They haven't started taking out the house across the street. But we also found out they will be putting in three new homes across from us. So there will be a lot of interesting things to watch once they get started. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A long time ago I made these place mats but have never used them as we haven't been home for Saint Patty's Day for years. Almost forgot I had them. I bought Corned Beef and Cabbage to make but decided to wait for our friend from Indiana to get here as he likes it too. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Got my new washer and it works great. Finally got all the dirty laundry we brought home with us done. Also am feeling a lot better. Doctor said it didn't matter when I take my high blood pressure pills so will take them in the evening now and sleep away the tiredness. I hope. Tomorrow I go for my EKG...had on before surgery but they want another more inclusive one. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I like the way they do these walls. Wire fencing full of rocks. Then the metal decoration on the front. I always thought Tucson had the prettiest freeway entrances but Vegas is running a close 2nd. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The Nevada Department of Transportation has a warning for motorists: Beware of giant animals near a Las Vegas freeway beginning Friday.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It’s not the filming of a Hollywood movie or a science experience gone wrong; it’s freeway art. Crews are expected to begin installing giant animal sculptures along the sides of Interstate 15 in the southern valley early Friday morning.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">By the time the freeway project is done late next summer, there will be 40 animal statues between Blue Diamond Road and Tropicana Avenue.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The sculptures are made of metal, cut to give the figures a three-dimensional appearance. They range from 9-feet to 11-feet tall and include horses, burros, big horn sheep and coyotes.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The animal statues are the most prominent part of the landscaping and aesthetics portion of the $246 million I-15 Design-Build Project South, which is widening the freeway.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The animal statues are also low maintenance; “They don’t need watering either,” joked Gene Perry, the owner of P&S Metals, which is manufacturing the art and the support beams for signs used on the project.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If someone puts graffiti on the animals, the paint can just be brushed off, Perry said. “It’s a very simple cleaning process.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Each statue, which weighs about a ton, will be bolted to a concrete pad.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The project was a lifesaver for the local metal company, which has suffered in the recession, Perry said. They hired about 12 extra people to work at the shop, bringing the staff to more than 40 members.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Not many places in Las Vegas are able to do this type of metal work, Perry said. “If we hadn’t taken this job it would have been done in California or Utah.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But the shop hasn’t done much artwork; most of their work is on structural supports and elements not usually seen by the public.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">“This is the first time we’ve had something we can look at and say ‘isn’t that nice,’ ” Perry said.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Plus, he thinks the statues will become popular with locals and tourists, especially the four big horn sheep that will be installed near Russell Road.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">“I predict four of these will be the most common thing photographed in this town other than our welcome sign,” Perry said.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We've spent the last couple of days looking at Class C's in the 30 foot range. But no plans yet. We like the Jayco and the Four Wind by Thor. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I want to thank everyone for their comments to me. Sorry I wrote such a downer of a blog...it was just one of those days. </span>Carol and Billhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11920669106841440178noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096602703183804884.post-42805876775390036962016-03-15T19:05:00.002-07:002016-03-15T19:05:40.102-07:00To travel or not to travel any more.<span style="font-size: large;">We've had a few strange days here at home. I've spent part of the day thinking about how much I should share. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">First off we've decided to get rid of the Alfa and downsize. One of the reasons we are unloading everything out of the ALFA. We are getting older and it is just getting to be too much to handle. We are finding stuff in there that we completely forgot existed. Probably put some things in there for our first trip in it and then never used them again. We didn't get everything out of it when it was in front of the house so now we're having to go to the storage lot, put everything in the car and then drag it out of the car and put it in the garage until we decide what to do with it. Throw it out? Bring it in the house and use it? Put it in the shed and see if it will find a place in a smaller RV? This is as bad as when we moved. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We've been looking at some 30 foot Class Cs. But haven't made up our minds yet,. Maybe we'll just travel in the future in the car. Or maybe we won't do any long distance traveling, We keep jumping around in our thinking. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Before we went to Mexico this year we found a new doctor here in Vegas. He put me on high blood pressure medication. I was highly indigent about that. I'd NEVER had high blood pressure - it was probably because of the busy summer we had - with the move and my surgery - . He didn't agree with me and managed to scare me with words like stroke and heart attack - so I dutifully took the pills.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When I went to the doctor in Mexico for my sore throat she was very concerned about my blood pressure being extremely high. Hum??? So when we got home I made an appointment with the doctor to get it checked again. I figured I'd been taking the pills, we were home so things should be fine. Nope. It had not dropped a bit from before we left to now. In fact it had gone up a bit. So now I have to have an EKG, a Carotid Ultrasound and go see a Cardiologist. as he feels I may have Renal artery stenosis. The narrowing of one or both renal arteries. Mainly because of the suddenness of the high readings, and because the medication didn't help at all. So we shall see what is going on. He increased the dosage of the medication and today I was so tired I couldn't move. He said it didn't matter what time of day I take the pills so from now on it will be at night. I've been feeling so good it was kind of a shock to me - so haven't been in a writing mood. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Tomorrow we get our new washer - good thing as the closet is getting full of dirty clothes. Also tomorrow I plan on making banana bread. And there is an important soccer game to watch.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But the main thing I want to do is get back to walking. Haven't done much since leaving Mazatlan. I have to figure out where my FitBit is. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So that's my story - </span>Carol and Billhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11920669106841440178noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096602703183804884.post-14408184044958343162016-03-13T10:31:00.000-07:002016-03-13T10:31:16.823-07:00Still adjusting to being home<span style="font-size: large;">We are still putting things away and trying to remember where we put things when we moved in here. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Guess we came home too early. The weeks before we got here it was in the 80s now it is barely reaching the mid 70s so Bill is cold most of the day.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Haven't done much. Did go out to lunch with friends from Canada who we met in Mazatlan a year ago. They are passing through on their way home. Also watching soccer games and NASCAR races. Exciting life. Both Barcelona and Kyle Busch won yesterday. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Went to breakfast this morning to Denny's. Did you know that if you have an AARP membership you get 15% off your bill at Denny's? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The community we live in is having a community wide yard sale this weekend. Wish we'd known sooner as there is a bunch of stuff we could get rid of. Lots of people driving around looking. So we need to keep the garage closed or we get unexpected visitors. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Still waiting for the house across the street to be moved out. Should be interesting to watch. Wonder what kind of mess they will leave. For sure a couple of big bushes have to come out. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Plan on watching another soccer game and the Sprint Cup race later today but that is about it. Tomorrow we'll go to the Alfa and pull more stuff out of it. And try to clean some of the sand out of it. </span>Carol and Billhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11920669106841440178noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096602703183804884.post-27236931332585315692016-03-11T18:42:00.000-07:002016-03-11T18:42:13.447-07:00Living in Vegas<span style="font-size: large;">One of the reasons I was excited to move back to Vegas was the fact that it is a big city and things should be easier to get done here. I'm finding out that is not the case. In fact yesterday I told Bill I was missing Brown Coiunty. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Yesterday I spent over two hours on the phone trying to get information and get our Internet up and working. First it was a call to our home warranty insurance. It took over 45 minutes on the phone to find out that the washer wasn't covered. Guess when we bought the home and the owner supplies the warranty - they didn't pay the extra for the washer and dryer. Oh well. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So went out and got a new washer - one to match the new dryer that came with the house,. It will be delivered next Wednesday. Until then the dirty laundry will be hidden. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When we left here in the fall I called the Internet people to put the service on "vacation suspension" - I was on the phone with them for over 1 1/2 hours "waiting" for them to turn it back on. Amazing - they must only have one person working for them. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I did manage to get an appoint with my family doctor for this coming Monday. That was quick. However it will be May before I can see the surgeon again. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We have managed to put most of what we've taken out of the Alfa away. But still have a lot more to take out and figure out where to put it. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This morning's sunrise. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Went out to Hobby Lobby this afternoon and a stop at the grocery store. Then home so I could watch some NASCAR. Neither of us felt like being real active. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Tomorrow we'll be going out to lunch with friends. </span>Carol and Billhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11920669106841440178noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096602703183804884.post-79047818102189666072016-03-10T13:55:00.001-07:002016-03-10T13:55:22.867-07:00Still trying to get settled in. <span style="font-size: large;">Well I'll try to get this done and published finally. We left Quartzsite at 9:30 Tuesday morning. We got a later than usual start because as Bill was doing his walk around he noticed that the locking pin that goes through the big pin on the hitch for the Jeep had fallen out sometime the day before. We were lucky we didn't lose the Jeep. So he completely unhitched the Jeep and checked everything out. While it was unhitched we decided we might as well go out to breakfast before hitting the road. So by the time we ate and rehitched it was 9:30.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Going through Parker - I guess the snowbirds are all on the road. Saw lots and lots of RVs going somewhere. There are three plus us in this intersection. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> Lots of dips on this road. The California side of the River on our way to Needles. From about this point on the wind really picked up. Bill said his arms were aching by the time we got home. A couple of gusts really shook the Alfa. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> Unloading the Alfa. There are bags and boxes all over the house. Didn't we just do this a couple of months ago? Because of all the sand in it we are having to take everything out. Even the drawers have sand in them. What a mess. And trying to remember where everything goes in this house. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I am having a hard time staying on the Internet. Our Verizon MiFi for some reason doesn't like where we live. So it is cutting in and out. And our home WiFi with Century <strike>Stink</strike> Link won/t be reactived until sometime today. I made the mistake of putting it on Vacation Suspension and it takes an act of heaven to get it reactivated. I called them from Arizona on the 7th to have it turned back on, but they can only put in an order for three days out...WHAT!!! They have the worst customer service ever. So I got an email saying it will be restored on the 10th [today] by 5:00 p.m.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It is now almost and it's not back on yet. I sure hope I don't have to call them again cause no one knows nothing.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Also we really had to hurry and unload the Alfa because our neighbor across the street sold his house and needed the street for his moving truck today. So yesterday we worked our butts off trying to get everything out. Finally just took the Alfa to the storage lot and will bring it back after he gets moved. Oh but wait - not only is he moving his house is moving too. The person who bought it is moving it to another area. Supposedly by this weekend. That should be interested to watch.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This morning we went out to breakfast in my car. Of course it had to be jumped to start after sitting three months. [we were gone 100 days.] After breakfast - - - the car wouldn't start. Didn't let it charge up enough. Luckily there was someone in the lot with jumper cables. I didn't even have the cell phone with me to call AAA</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And lets see what else - oh yah - the washing machine won't complete a cycle. And I don't think it is included on our home warranty. Will have to call them. Right now I feel like never traveling again. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So I'm done singing my sad story and will try to publish this. </span>Carol and Billhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11920669106841440178noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096602703183804884.post-46302385716569647902016-03-08T20:58:00.002-07:002016-03-08T20:58:20.337-07:00Home sweet homeWe got home a little after noon..

We got here this afternoon after a kind of frustrating, at times, day. Nothing serious - more annoying than anything. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This was a picture from yesterday in Amado. Very cloudy and cooler then it has been. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">And last nights sunset. The weather is a concern as rain and wind was in the forecast. But mainly on Tuesday. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We left Amado at 8:45 this morning. Another cloudy and cooler day. Going through Tucson - I really like their overpasses. Some of them are really great to see. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We planned on stopping in Eloy at the Flying J to have breakfast. We've stopped there several times in the past. They don't have RV parking like a lot of their truck stops. But there is an area along the side of the regular parking lot that RVs will fit in. Bill and I were talking as we pulled into the lot. We both remembered a time when we got blocked in by another RV. And had to wait for him to finish his shopping. We should have turned right at the end of the lot but for some distracted reason we turned left. A few feet into the turn it dawned on us this was going to be an oh, oh! We could not complete the sharp U turn. Had to stop and unhook the Jeep and back the Alfa out. It has been a LONG time since we've had to do that. The kind of thing that makes you look around the lot and hope no one noticed. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Then we went in to eat. Bill ordered a Caesar salad and the waitress told him they were out of Caesar dressing. A major restaurant and they were "out of" Caesar dressing. Instead he got vinegar and oil. But he did mention - maybe it just wasn't his day. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Before getting back on the road he adjusted the passenger side outside mirror on the Alfa. Then back across the bridge to get on the freeway. Another neat overpass. [except for the bugs on the window.]</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">We had just come down off the on ramp and the mirror fell over! Oops. So Bill pulled over on to the shoulder. Thank goodness the US has big shoulders on the roads. He got out some tools and fixed the mirror. But first had to find the right sized allen(?) wrench. Every time a big truck went by we rocked and rolled. Finally got it tight and we were on the road again. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">We planned on taking I-8 west to the 85 north to the I-10. Guess what? The on ramp to the I-8 West was closed. DETOUR! Luckily it was an easy detour. Just had to go to the next off ramp, get off and go under the freeway then back up the on ramp and south to the I-8 interchange. No problem. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But the mirror was still not right so stopped at a rest area and fixed it right. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I like this area of the I-10 - lots of neat vegetation. Yellow flowers all along the highway. </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKDKVowHwFcj5sDwF-pZZtzXDKz5ynG29fn-Dqm2SRpi9kRLqGqyeZmofCgtFBLTh5HDnp3NuX1MkWUgbsFSvrlmjMmfM1DUTYeKWoGnraj_Ha5LqlKE6UA55xzrd7VH9Uu1KxrlviaOQ/s1600/DSC02368.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKDKVowHwFcj5sDwF-pZZtzXDKz5ynG29fn-Dqm2SRpi9kRLqGqyeZmofCgtFBLTh5HDnp3NuX1MkWUgbsFSvrlmjMmfM1DUTYeKWoGnraj_Ha5LqlKE6UA55xzrd7VH9Uu1KxrlviaOQ/s640/DSC02368.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And all kinds of cactus. Backed up by the rugged mountains. Too bad it was so overcast. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Lots of RVs on the move. And many of them heading south. But I think this is Spring Break week in Arizona. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We arrived in Quartzsite, stopped to get diesel $1.97 a gallon. Nice price. Got 40 gallons for $79. It used to cost 70 dollars to fill the Jeep with unleaded. Sure like the price now. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Then went to Shady Lane RV for the night. Pulled into the park at 3:45. Lots of time for 293 miles. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Our MiFi keeps cutting out so using the parks WiFi. And for a final jab. Turned on the microwave and blew the breaker. Had to have the park handy <strike>m</strike></span><span style="font-size: large;"><strike>an</strike> woman come over and fix the breaker. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Tomorrow will be our 100th day on the road. Our getting home tomorrow will depend on the weather. </span><br />

AZ<span style="font-size: large;">A pleasant day in Arizona. We got up early to watch a Barcelona soccer game. Earlier than we needed to. I forgot our TV is on Pacific time and we are in Mountain time. Oh well.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Then we went out to breakfast and to Walmart again. After we got home from shopping yesterday I started looking around and realized we needed quite a few things from the grocery store that we didn't think of yesterday. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Then of course watched the NASCAR race. Kyle did a good job of leading some laps and finishing 4th with a 10th place car. He is leading in points, but needs to get that win. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Looking at the map - we have around 500 miles to go to get home. Last year from here in Amado we had 2000 miles to get home. Really makes a difference in fuel and campground prices for the winter. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We've been on the road for 98 days as of today. We'll leave here tomorrow morning. How far we go will depend on the weather. There is rain and win heading this way. Driving in the wind isn't fun for Bill. </span><br />

Watched part of a soccer game Real Madrid played. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When we pulled in to the De Anza RV <strike>Park </strike> excuse me - Resort. La de la! We were told we could park in a nice big pull through for last night only. Then today we had to move to a not so big back in space. The pull through was reserved from today on. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We needed to go to the grocery store so we asked the office how long we could stay in the space without moving the Alfa. Also the 5th wheel in the space where we were going didn't look like it was getting ready to leave. The office manager told us we would have to move by 12:00. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So we hurried into Green Valley to have breakfast at Denny's [three months ago I wrote about one of the employees at Denny's. The older woman named Addy.] She was working this morning and moving like a whirlwind. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">After breakfast we went to Walmart - needed a few things. We got back to the RV by 11:45 - the 5th wheel was gone. So we packed up, unhooked and moved. We can stay in this space as long as we want. To the tune of $40 a day. We have good 50amps, strong water pressure. Which is good because our water pump gave up the last day we were in San Carlos. And the TV works fine and the parks WiFi is good. They have a FULL page of rules and regulations. A lot of You Betters and even more Do Nots. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">After moving and getting set up again I watched some racing. Kyle #18 won the Xfinity race. The first time he has won in this series in Vegas. And he broke another record today. He has led 16,000 laps in that series. Today he led 199 of 200. Tomorrow though his car doesn't seem to be very good. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I think Bill is coming down with the cold I finally got over. Hope not. As we are thinking of leaving here Monday morning - there is some rainy weather coming this way by Tuesday .</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I forgot to take our list with us when we went out this morning so will probably go to the stores again tomorrow. </span><br />
