About Me

Our present "small but comfortable" Wagon is a 2008 Camper trailer(TravelAir Rustler), pulled by a 2008 Dodge Dakota, 4X4.l. Our home is now a Gated Community Park, in Oliver, British-Columbia, Canada. I retired in 2005 and my Life Companion, Valerie, retired October 1, 2006 from nursing. We invite you to follow and share our new adventures and mishaps. Life is but an adventure full of dreams yet to be fulfilled!

March 6 to 9, 2014; Winterhaven, back to Mexico and Yuma

MAR  6, Thursday; To Yuma
14*C @ 7 am and cloudy; 24*C in pm and sunny

We went to Yuma to shop for a few things.  First, we stopped at the satellite shop about trading our DISH program for STARCHOICE.  Not possible he says unless we pay the full price so he is looking into finding us something that is used!  While here, we bought a few things for the RV that I had run out on.  We then went to the shop where I bought the AIR FORCE air brake for the jeep and inquired about hooking up a warning light inside the MH.  Again, no success but she said she would check around.  Then it was off to ALBERTSON where we got a bunch of groceries; $300 later we went home; we were out of a few things!!!
We put everything away, had a glass of wine then went to the clubhouse for dinner which consisted of meatloaf, mash potatoes, vegetables and dessert, all for $5.50 each.  Tomorrow, we have more running around to do!

 
MAR  7, Friday; to Algodones
15*C @ 7 am; 24*C, cloudy and windy from the North

We had our carpets cleaned this morning then we went to Algodones, MEX, to return our tourist card and get our passport stamp.  We had lunch there then went to Yuma to pick up some stuff we had no time for yesterday.  We also took a drive to LA MESA RV Dealer about my slide problem and they sent us next door to COUNTY RV.  We made an appointment for next Wednesday for an estimate.  We came home and relaxed from a busy day.  In the evening, we watched “CAPTAIN PHILLIPS”
The WIFI 10 Booster that I ordered came in today, now we are waiting for our mail.

 
MAR  8, Saturday; Winterhaven
18*C @ 7am & windy; 28*C in pm and very windy!

The wind blew all night which helped keep things cool as we had an overnight low of 16*C!  After showering and cleaning up, we went back to town to the RV Outdoor Bazaar and bought a few more items for the MH such as filters for the water system, new flags and BBQ stuff and more!  We had lunch here then called Dennis and Ruth and went over for a visit.  We came home and found that our mail had arrived so now I have one more thing to sort through.  After a glass of wine, we went to the clubhouse for steak and potato and dessert.  We shared our table with very nice people and had a great conversation then came home.  We sat out for a while but it was just too windy so went in and watched the tube.  I went through our mail and got rid of the junk and filed the good stuff, we also got 10 magazines to read; we now have all our papers for filing our Income tax so I’ll be doing that tomorrow.

 
MAR  9, Sunday; Winterhaven
16* @ 8 am; 27*C in pm with light winds

We all slept in this morning and it felt good.  The wind has abated and it is sunny; the forecast is for a hot day and it was!  Val did laundry today and I worked on our Income Tax.  Just as I finished, I realized that we are missing the papers from our investment so will have to call them tomorrow and try to get something via e-mail so that I can file.  I also bought “EZ Tires Pressure Monitoring System” so I read the instructions on that.  It will cover the tires on the jeep and the rear tires on the Beaver in case of loss of air pressure.  We read for the rest of the day and I even went for an hour snooze.  We had fish for dinner then we watched my two favorite programs: “The Good Wife” and “The Closer” then it was bed time

We enjoy reading your blog. We have the tire monitors and hopefully they'll safe us from a tire disaster. Just saw a blog with a blown tire and the damage it caused the rig ... don't want that.
