The Suite and Black Beauty - Bath Time!

Yuma Lakes RV Resort

On Wednesday, Mar. 26th before I even got downstairs, Bill informed me he was going outside to take Lila and the generator off the back of the Suite. We had an appointment for Elite Power Wash to come and wash and wax both vehicles. The price was too good to refuse. We had our breakfast together and after I took Gibbs to the dog park to sniff a bit, I left Bill at home and walked to the Shuffleboard courts for 9:15.

Good morning!
Starting out with clouds today.
The top unit is quite impressive, picture worthy.

Gibbs enjoyed some new sniffs 
all by himself.

There is the Suite
with her panels raised.

I met the 2 fellows in the Elite van pulled up beside me to ask for directions. That was easy since it was our site! I did ask them to do a good job. Seemed like a couple of nice young men. As for Shuffleboard, I'm not good at this game, (have I said that?) but it is a social outing and I enjoy trying  with other park guests. I won one game but came in at the bottom for total score. 😅 George put the pucks and sticks away for the season, that being the last scheduled game. When I walked

It was fun while it lasted!

They were good workers

When I walked back, the boys were still working on the Suite. I believe that what would normally take them 1 1/2 hours was dragged on to over 2 because the pump motor kept shutting off on them. How unfortunate and they apologized to Bill and me, once I returned, a few times. It wasn't there fault. 

A few selfies while waiting

Bottom line, we sat outside in the shade and watched them finish up. I walked around with a critical eye, as I'd heard some 'iffy' remarks about their work, and was more than pleased. Not one thing seemed untouched and both vehicles shone.

Woowheee!
Look at those sparkles!

We paid up and gave them a tip to share. The Suite and Black Beauty were just grinning! We had lunch and then dozed inside. It was another hot day, although 5 degrees cooler than yesterday. I walked to the pool at 2:30 and had a couple of dips in between some sun and shade sitting with my book. It has been a great story and it will be finished tonight. The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes is a recommended read, in my opinion. 😊

I had a partly cloudy pool time
but it was still very refreshing. 
Bill was putting the panels down.

Bill was putting the panels down when I returned and said that even the roof was done well. We had fish and chips for supper, and leftover cauliflower replaced chips on my plate. Bill finished the strawberries and I had unsweetened applesauce with yogourt for dessert. It was all very good. The Floor and Survivor are on tonight, starting at 7 pm here so that will keep us entertained for much of the evening.

A commenter asked what kind of burgers
we were eating.
I don't know if we have these at home
so we'll go back to our usual when we return.

We reached a high of 95F/35C, dropping off to a more 'sleepable' 60F/16C overnight. Each day, the temperatures diminish and that is good. It is too soon for the 90's, so say the locals. This was a great day and we accomplished what we wanted to. One more day here before we pull up our feet and move on.

Supper was good.
Good night!

Thank you for your visit.

  3. The Suite and Black Beauty are definitely pretty when they're so sparkly! Even if it only lasts until you're on the road again, it's wonderful to enjoy.
    I guess it won't be long before you're heading north again. Enjoy your remaining time there.
