12*C @ 7 am; 27* C and sunny
Once
again, on the road to Yuma and this time to meet friends! First we met Charlene and Lynden for lunch
and we had a great time catching up to each other’s news; lunch was good to, we
went to Logan Steak House and some very good burgers. After saying goodbye to them, we went to Kohl’s
where we finally found some floor mat to replace the ones we presently
have. From here, we went to the
“Foothills” to meet with Judy and Ed as they are leaving tomorrow for Vegas
then home. We had ice cream at then we
came home and after a light dinner, Val went to the clubhouse and I caught up
to my blog.
12* @ 6am; 25* C, cloudy and windy
Val decided to clean the inside; vacuum, wash the floors and shake the carpets. I took the Jeep to town and had an Oil & Lube done on it, it was due! I came home and we relaxed and read for the rest of the afternoon, had a drink at HH then it was time for dinner which was a light one. To bed by 10 pm!
12* C at 6 am; 26*C in pm with light winds
We
were ready to go by 9 am and we took the Beaver to County RV Repair near “La
Mesa” RV. Our appointment was for 10 am
and we were on time. We left it there
for 2 hrs and in the meantime, we went to WALMART nearby and got some groceries
and a couple other small items. We were
back at the shop by 11:30 on to learn that the locking mechanism is a seal unit
and will cost $1700 just for the part. I
put the old lock in the basement and will see if we can drive without it. I also had the charging system checked and
found out that the two batteries I got last May have bad cells so will have to
exchange that when I return home.
We
drove back to our site in Pilot Knob, parked and set up then Val went to the
clubhouse and I caught up to my blog. We
had dinner then watched the tube for a while before going to bed by 10 pm
11*C @ 6am; 25*C in pm, overcast with sunny periods
Morning
was filled with chores. I adjusted my
passenger mirror, installed and set the air warning gadgets on the jeep and the
rear inner tires for the MH, washed the kayaks and moved them from under the
tree as they were being soiled by bird poop.
Afterwards, we went to town to the outdoor RV market and I picked up a
new Valve stem remover and a new LED light for the bathroom. I looked for refills for my travel log but
had no luck. We had a beer and hot dog
at the Market then we drove to County RV Repair and asked about my extended warranty and he said he would check so we came home. For
dinner, I BBQ’ed steaks and lobster (from Mexico), Val made a salad to
compliment it. We watched the tube in
the evening. It is quite windy right
now, cooling off the warm temperature.
11* @ 7 am; 25*C in pm, windy!
Today
was a quiet day! I spent the morning
dealing with a few items that needed attention including sending and e-mail to County RV with a copy of my warranty. In the afternoon, we went
to the “Indoor Market” in Yuma. This
market dealt mainly with clothing and jewelery and only RV store. I bought a new handle for the sewer trap
lever and that was it. We came home, had
a drink and got a call from Mim & Jack; we made arrangements to meet on
Tuesday. I got a call back from County RV and he has quoted $2800 to the insurance and they are willing to pay only $2600 so with my deductible, it would cost me $400; I said we would discuss further tomorrow.
For dinner, Val made a meat
loaf with peas and potatoes…DELICIOUS!
We sat outside for a while then Val went to the clubhouse to work on
puzzles while I did the dishes. IT is
still warm outside and the A/C is on full blast!
