       Just another amazing desert day in Quartzsite. As usual, just waiting for the sunrise. Well I wanted to get  going. So just before 6 am headed  into town to get our laundry done. No problem 6:05 am  lotsa machines available as I know from experience. Laundry done, dried and folded and home before 7:30 .We both had our showers and fresh water was about done, it's been 2 weeks,.
       Now a quick trip to the dump station needed. At 8:40 am I checked it, out only 4 rigs in line. Back home to Suzie, we going now.  Coach secured in less than 10 minutes, move on down the road. We dumped our sewage refilled our fresh water, while Suzie put the laundry away and back home all set up about 9:45. Our chores done for the day.
        Now to just putter around a bit, do some outside reading and chat with our neighbours for a couple minutes. And a nice light early lunch.
      I headed into town to check out a few vendors and enjoyed an amazing warm sunny afternoon reading in the shade, shorts, t-shirts and sandal makes this amazing for a couple hours.
clear blue skies  and full sun.
out batteries fully charged  before noon.
Brian is off the grid for sure
       Early afternoon a drive about checked out Brain's trailer. Yup he is the solar guy and is fully hooked up 14 panels that I could see. maybe more.
         Happy hour at out house today I am roasting a 5 lb chicken on to Weber Q today and do not want to leave it unattended. Picked this up yesterday .87 cents a lb. The 5 lb bird takes just a bit more than an hour.
good deal again
happy hour fun
chicken about done as the sun begins to set
done. so moist and tender
yummy
        Yes we had a feast and lotsa leftovers, lunches, soup and so many options. Yep you know we love chicken.
          Now our outside day is done, relax a bit, whip up the dishes, post this blog and watch the tube for a bit. Too cold after sunset to be outside now.
        Glad that you dropped by to check us out

  1. So happy to see you living the life but seriously 6 AM for laundry? What time do you go to bed to be up so early. We prefer to ease into the morning, ie relax a bit.

    1. I go to bed at 9 in the winter, always have and usually up by 4:30 then ease my way into the day then. The early mornings are my favourite time of the day. Walkabout as the sun rises then I can do things like laundry, shopping etc. long before the crowds and things get busy.

  3. Sunshine looks wonderful. So far today, we have had 5" of rain here in Houston. Everything is closed down. Flooding every where. We were to leave at 6:30 am but can't go any where. Still raining at 7:00. They say we may have a window between 10-12, then more rain. Enjoy that sun.

  6. 4:30am is way too early here! The sun doesn't start to come up until 8:30 or so and with the RV we are borrowing the one battery they have isn't good enough for us to use even use the lights in the morning so we usually stay in bed in the warmth until at least 8 or 8:30am preferably we would rather be up around 7am. A new battery is on the agenda for tomorrow!

    1. I have always got up that early in the summer we are outside later so can sleep until 5:30. I enjoy the peace and quite of the early mornings. New Battery will help.

  7. Getting everything done so early allows so much time for other things...like relaxation and cooking that hen. Your meal looked delicious!!
