Don’t know why but I was tired enough to sleep until 8:00 this morning but when I opened the Window Shades downstairs and couldn’t see the Sun through the heavy Cloud covering I understood. With a certain Chore that needed to be done today as early as possible I wasn’t as quiet as normal getting things ready for breakfast. Soon Kathy joined me downstairs.

After breakfast while Kathy was busy reading on her Computer I was changing our Bedsheets and collecting the rest of our Laundry. With that completed things still had to be sorted and some treating done it was already noon so Kathy made us Macaroni And Cheese for lunch.

The first place we headed to was RV Lifestyles to get a 3/8” Pipe-to-Compression Fitting so that I can replace our Automatic Propane Regulator. It looked like they were selling all kinds of things but the Parts Desk wasn’t busy. I was back in the Truck in less then Five Minutes.

When we arrived at the Main Street Laundromat we were surprised to see a sign on the door stating that they would be closing at 2:00 today. With less then Two Hours left we knew that wouldn’t work so we decided to go to the Laundromat in Blythe. By driving a Half Hour away when we arrived it was only 12:20 PST and this place wasn’t closing early.

Kathy went to get some change while I started to get Four Washers in a row loaded. When I started putting money in to start the Washers Two would not start so I had to move the Laundry from those to Two others. One of those Washers did the same thing, it would not take the money so I had to move that to yet another Washer. Finally once everything was getting cleaned I spotted the Manager who was working on a Dryer and I informed him of the problem. He figured someone had tried forcing the machine.

By the time Kathy and I finished folding all our Laundry it was nearly 4:00 MST so we decided to have Popeye’s Chicken for supper. We both enjoyed a Two Piece Meal and found them satisfying.

Kathy bundled up, keeping warm.

It was nearly 5:00 when we got Home in La Posa South LTVA in Quartzsite. With this being New Years Eve we had planned on having a Campfire tonight so watching which direction our Windsock was blowing I parked the Truck to block the Wind.

The first thing we did was get all the Laundry put away before I headed outside to set up the Firepit. With the Chairs and Tables in place it didn’t take long to get the Firewood in set up. The Thick Cloud Cover stuck around well after the Sun had set so all we could do was focus on the Fire tonight. Wayne and Sue made it over by 6:30 after they had their supper.

Our Sunset this evening.

Among some of the things we were talking about we found out that they had been doing some Grocery Shopping in Blythe around the same time we were doing our Laundry. The fire was keeping us warm for a while so to offset the Cold Temperatures I made a round of Hot Chocolate for everyone. We toasted our New Years early with these hot drinks. It was 10:45 MST when we were all feeling chilled and called it a night. As soon as I checked The Weather Network I realized why. The temperature was only 39 F (4 C) outside and it’s going to Freeze tonight.
