Pilot Knob RV Resort, Winterhaven, CA
On
Wednesday, Feb. 12th, we were up out of bed just after 6:30 to greet
the day. Bill was in bed with me last night at 10 pm. Neither one of us could
keep our eyes open any longer. As far as I know, we both had a good sleep. Bill
had his coffee while I published yesterday’s blog post. Shortly after 7:30, we
were headed out the door for a brisk, cool walk. 45F/7C maybe sounds warm to
our friends and family back home but here it is still cool. Remember, our daytime highs range between 60 - 75F.
My sunrise picture did not turn out so this is the first picture you get These types of transportation always intrigue me |
I was bundled
in layers and had my hood up. We dropped Oreo’s bed off at Keith’s site and carried
on walking. Just over a mile today, it was c-c-cold. We stopped at the
clubhouse and Bill got some information he needed and we saw that they were
advertising a potluck on Friday night for Valentine’s Day. That doesn’t really
appeal to either of us but we’ll see what the rest of our group thinks.
I had my
tea back home and settled in to reading blogs. It is looking like a lovely day
headed our way today. Can you say warm? 68f and then warmer again over the coming
days. I may get back in the pool over the weekend! We lingered a bit this
morning after dishes, me with my book and Bill was involved with some banking
and other little things. We had set up an appointment with Roberts RV &
Wash for the end of this month to get both vehicles done. Since the truck
accident, we’ve decided to cancel so Bill called this morning and took care of
that.
Oh-oh, my first slipper project is showing wear I've been wearing them for a good part of the last year so I'm not surprised I'll be getting some wool out soon for a new pair |
Around 11:15,
I walked up to the puzzle room to see if the puzzle was finished. It wasn’t and
surprise, surprise, Carmen was in there again. She was again biding time before
heading out for the ladies’ lunch. Every Wednesday whoever wants to join the
group, signs up and they go to a restaurant in the Yuma area. It doesn’t
interest me. When I go out to eat, unless it is with close girlfriends, I would
rather go with my hubby. That’s just me.
The completed puzzle This was a challenge Aha! It is not a sailboat! teehee |
I told
Bill that if the puzzle wasn’t finished, I would not leave until it was. And that
is what I did. Kim popped in to pick up a book and we chatted for a bit. It
sounds like Ken enjoyed himself as much yesterday as Keith and Bill did. That’s
nice to hear. I walked back home around 1 and found Bill replacing the front
right tire on the Suite with our spare. The spare tire has never been used
before so even though not ‘new’, it is in excellent shape and within the 7-year
date recommendation.
Bill was just finishing up with the installation of the spare tire |
When he finished
that, he crawled around and topped up the tire pressure on the other 3 as well.
Before he finished and put things away, he got out his new battery tester from
Harbor Freight and tested our two oldest Suite batteries. They needed a bit of
water so he added what was necessary. Finally, he could relax and it was around
2:30 when we moved inside. The sun was quite warm outside on the patio so when
Kim texted about H.H., we invited them down for 3:00.
He did a fair bit of crawling around checking things out |
Around
the same time, Keith texted to see where and when so we’ve got him on board for
our afternoon meetings. Conversations were all over the place, as usual, but always a good time. We made some plans for tomorrow and said goodbye around
5. I had planned burgers and fries for supper but we waited until 6 to start
cooking. It didn’t take long and we were eating our meal. I probably ate more
than I needed but it was just the mood I was in. A fast food meal made at home.
The fries were very good, done in Rosy, our air fryer.
Supper and it was good Good night! |
We
watched some of our prerecorded programs and before we knew it, this day was
soon done. I finished my post and enjoyed the rest of the evening with Bill.
This was a quiet but good day for me and Bill accomplished a few things on his
list. I hope you have had a fine day too.
Thank you
for stopping by.
Your first picture reminds me of a friend of ours. They would go south every winter in their motor home. They pulled a full size truck. He built a lift/platform that lifted his boat to set above his truck. He was a very ingenious man.
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty cool what people do to follow their dreams. :)
DeleteSo I'm not the only one doing all these repair things! Your burger looks pretty delicious!!!
ReplyDeleteNope, you're not. And I'm just a spectator, on hand in case he needs my help. He seldom does!
DeleteGood idea putting on the spare. Love the puzzle, does look like it would have been hard but very pretty in the end. Dinner looks yummy, gotta love a good burger! Sounds like a good day for you and a very productive one for Bill. :)
ReplyDeleteIt was a nice quiet day for me and Bill got a lot done. He was happy too. :)
DeleteFunny, we had burger and fries for dinner last night. Oven baked fries for us. We had temperatures just above the freezing mark on Tuesday so I had planned to grill but something else came up so I didn't. Last evening it was -24C so no grilling either, just the fry pan.
ReplyDeleteTemperature is definitely relative. While I would think 47F would be lovely especially this morning when we're sitting at -29C with windchills near -40, I'm know after a few days of heat it would feel chilly to me too.
Have a great day!
Burger and fries are still good even if the 'grilling' is done inside. Just messier! :)
DeleteJust catching up on your posts. Sorry about Black Beauty but its only metal. They say the first dent hurts the most. Hope you get your tooth fixed successfully without having to spend all of the kids inheritance. Keep on having fun!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lorne. It is only metal and fixable. Black Beauty has been in the shop before, our first year someone loved her so much, they drove into her in a parking lot down here! LOL
DeleteThanks for the good dental wishes, trying not to worry about it.
Easy day and warming up as well. Glad you two have put your worries away for now and just relaxing. Black Beauty will one day be as good as new and tires are made to be replaced. All is good in the world as long as you have your health. Enjoy the day.
ReplyDeleteThank you Doug. You are right. All is great!
DeleteI'm sitting in the airport in Phoenix and thought I would check out today's blogs since I have missed the last two weeks. Of course I was curious what I had missed when you said you were not going to get your truck cleaned because of the damage. How sad and although these things do happen, we have seen many trucks with damaged rails because of dropping fifth wheels, it's not easy to take when it happens to you :-( I am so sorry and sure hope it all works out well with your insurance.
