Where are we today ?
Just another great day here in Benson AZ. Cold last night 25 f (good for sleeping) and day time temps close to 70f with more beautiful cloudless blue skies, sunshine makes it feel so much warmer! Yep, we really love it here. Oh and we do get used to the trains coming through town, kinda feels like home.Early this morning into the Ace hardware and Safeway for a few things then back home for a few more walkabouts.

Then we headed downtown to check out the Christmas fair. A wonderful small town function with crafts, food live band and kiddie rides. Now that is our speed. Lotsa people but no large criwds.

Replace your detectors
Most of you reading this blog are Rv'ers. Did you know that your propane and carbon monoxide alarms (detectors) need to be replaced every 5 years? We did ours 5 1/2 years ago and are overdue to be replaced again. Actually June 2013. They are not cheap, about $160.00 for the two but that is a small price to pay to protect out lives. So into Cates and Hill the other day Betty ordered ours in and with the discount she gave us right about the same prices we could have got them for at Camping World on sale. Rather give her the business in a small town, she is so helpful. |
| Have our new detectors , will install tomorrow |

We stopped for lunch the other day at a place on the outskirts of AJ. Three cowgirls rode up, tied up their horses and came into for a beer and some lunch. You just gotta love it. The one problem with this area is the huge crowds that show up at all the fun functions. And I really don't like crowds.
ReplyDeleteLove the local small town communities, even when its busy its not crowded.
DeleteMy kind of weather too, love those cool nights and nice sunny days. Looked like a nice Christmas fair don't much care for big crowds anymore either much prefer the smaller towns. Another nice dinner on the Q, will have to try grilling my veggies like you I always end up cooking them in foil with butter and seasoning. Yours look so good with the grill marks. Have a great Sunday. Enjoyed today's pics.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info on the detectors good to know.
DeleteFor the veggies I just slice them up put in a plastic bag, add a bit of olive oil and spices, shake em up then grill until done. A nice change.
DeleteGood reminder on the alarms George. Sometimes it is hard to remember when they were replaced so if in doubt, buy new ones. I just looked back in Quicken and see I bought mine in 2011 so I have another couple of years.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a fun day in Benson.
After 5 years they may start beeping telling you its time, they are not defective just telling you its time. If you remove them the manufacture date is on the back.
DeleteLooks like you're having a great time... and that dinner looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteWe love it here just the way we like it.
DeleteThanks for the detector reminder. Love that small town look, much more intimate and fun than big cities.
ReplyDeleteSmall towns is what we lived before so suits us wonderfully.
DeleteI want to thank you for the propane detector reminder too, George. I think we may be due for a new one next year - or is it the year after, I'll have to check. Can't believe our 'new 5'er' will be almost 5 years old next year.
ReplyDeleteIt is something that most people don't think about, but when boon docking , our safety with these items is a priority.
DeleteGood reminder on the detectors. We changed our this year - before leaving home.
ReplyDeleteSure looks like it was a fun day in Benson. Cool overnight temperatures though!!!!!
Don't mind the cool overnight at all great for sleeping.
DeleteYou all surely do eat well! LOVE that kind of Christmas Fair... what fun...
ReplyDeleteYes it was fun, love small town stuff.
DeleteWe've never changed our detectors (coach is a 2006). Told Denis about your reminder. He thought as long as the light is green that they are in proper working order.... is that not the case? Thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteWell they recommend every five years, would not want to bet my life on not have new ones every five years, we will spend the money and update.
DeleteWhatever works for you and hope they still work for you.

Its nice to get outside and enjoy the surroundings when the sun is shining. Too bad we didn't get a picture of both of you on Santa's lap.
ReplyDeleteI tried but Suzie insisted that we do not :(
