Arizona.

Even
though we are trying to rest up for our trek back east our bodies
don’t seem to be getting the message. I was up by 6:35 this morning
and barely had the Window Shades opened when Kathy came
downstairs at 6:45. She got up on her own with no prodding from me.
During
breakfast we discussed what we had to do today. Kathy wanted to do
some inside cleaning as well as making the last of our Expenditure
Entries on our Spreadsheet. I needed to reorganize our
Basement. We have added to what was already an over filled
Basement.

After
doing my inside chores I started pulling things out of the Basement.
Tools went back in the Toolboxes, Fittings went
into the Fitting Container, Sealants, Lubricants and
Paints found their way into a proper Container. We had
purchased Containers to hold the components for the Wind
Generator and it all had to fit. By the time Kathy called me in
for lunch most of the Basement had been rearranged and there
were only the few things that still needed sorting left out.
This would hurt. |
Kathy
served us each a bowl of her Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup
which is always good. Since we were both working hard she also served
us Roast Beef Sandwiches from the Roast that I grilled
yesterday. This Roast came from Smart
and Final and seemed tougher with less taste then the one
we had gotten at Coyote Fresh Foods. Guess where we’ll be
buying them in the future. Dessert was an Apple Sauce Cup.

Back
outside by 1:30 I only had a few things left to put away but needed
Kathy’s help to fold up our Patio Rug because the Twenty
MPH Wind Gusts were trying to make it into a Kite. Just
before she came outside I saw this interesting Bug. It was
checking out the area near our Trailer. With the basement
being full there was no room for any Hitch-Hikers
like it.
By
rearranging the Basement I managed to empty some cardboard
Boxes and get rid of some Trash. Kathy had been busy
doing the same thing inside. After loading the Near Empty Propane
Tanks in the Truck along with the Trash we were
ready to run a few errands.
Stopping
at the Trash Bins we noticed that
even though all the Small Bins and the One Large Roll-Off
were still overly full someone had cleaned the Trash off the
ground that surrounded them. We also noticed as we drove out of La
Posa South the number of RVs has dropped just since
yesterday probably due to the Hot Temperatures heading this
way. It will be close to the Century Mark in another Week
and a Half.
There
were a few more vehicles on the road today as we headed into
Quartzsite. Our first stop was RV
Pit Stop to top off our Two Propane Tanks. It was
strange to see the attendants actually sitting on a chair waiting for
customers. Normally they are non-stop from the time they open until
they close. I prefer getting our Propane filled in the US
because you only pay for what you use not like in Canada
where they have set prices for the different sized Tanks.
Our
next stop was the Chevron gas
station where we filled the Main Fuel Tank and added the same
amount in our Auxiliary Tank. I also took the time to scrub
away the collection of Bug Smears we gathered on our trip to
Blythe yesterday. While I was
busy doing that Kathy was checking out the Ornate Yard next to
the station. She found that their taste in decorations was similar
ours. What really caught her eye was the resident Rabbit that
was enjoying their garden. It took Twenty Minutes to fuel the
Truck with Diesel. It took Forty Minutes
to clean the Dust and Bugs off all our Windows.
We
both need a break from working in the heat so we planned on going to
the Main Street Restaurant but
they are now only open Tuesday to Friday until the 12th of
April when they close like other restaurants for the season. Our next
choice was Times Three Family Restaurant.
Even at 4:00 it was busy. Kathy had a Taco Salad while I had a
Ruben Sandwich with Sweet Potato Fries. They
were both tasty and filling. By the time we left at 5:00 the place
was getting packed with Rowdy Senior Citizens whooping it up.
Back
Home
I
got the Wind
Deflector
raised and the Hitch
unlocked
ready to hook up in the morning. It felt sad that this is our last
night here for this season but there are other Adventures
that
are waiting for us down the road.
A
few minutes ago we both had the munchies so Kathy brought out a
Cherry
Cheesecake Pie that
she made this morning. Can you say “Mmmm
Good”!
Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.

ReplyDeleteMy goodness you got so much accomplished I'm even tired!
ReplyDeleteI was watching a show called "Going RV" that showcases people buying RV's and when one said "the basement" I immediately thought of you guys :)
I had no idea the restaurants closed for the season, what happens to the employees?
Have a safe trip to your next destination.
