Getting ready to leave tomorrow, BUT our Jello plans got shaken up. Glad we don't make many definite plans.

Where are we today ?
 clic a pic to enlarge it
       Not a lot of rain overnight, just enough to keep the dust down, no puddles to be found this morning. We both had a great sleep and as the sun was rising I headed out on a beautiful morning and got a nice 2 mile walk in.  What  great way to start the day.
another great desert sunrise
Me and my shadow out for a nice walkabout
           About 9am I headed into town to fill our RO water jug and top up the gas tank in our car . Hopefully heading to California in the morning for a few days. Got my shorts on to be comfortable.
      After lunch puttered around for a while, Chatted with Ken and Shirley for a bit, Ken and Shirley wished we could stay longer. And they got their wish. Checked our tire pressures and oil, Then was going to secure our solar panel for travel and enjoyed reading in the warm afternoon sun at 68F, Yup this is pretty decent winter weather.
       BUT !! just before I stored our solar panel Suzie got me to check the rattle we have heard the last few days in the wind under our coach. Crawled around under our coach AND a large heat shield between our exhaust pipe and propane tank and spare tire noticed the weld securing it had broken.  Ah ha found the problem. Thinking about this for a bit and decided to go back to RV lifestyle styles again to see if they can weld this and we can give them some more money. Dennis said their welder is pretty busy this week maybe Friday, so he checked , I can  squeeze you in Thursday morning at 10 AM. Perfect, so looks like we will be here for a few more days. No problem we like it here and enjoy the desert, our permit is good until Feb 11th.
Noticed this afternoon , Ken put the tilt
kit on one of their solar panels
 
another amazing desert day clear blue skies that we love
          Then about 3 pm we got together for what we thought would be our last happy hour here with our good friends. And we are sure we will meet up again on down the road again somewhere.
Shirley had made snacks, a very tasty snack. Broccoli tots we VERY good then she made a spaghetti squash pizza crust pizza for us to share , love both of these and asked her for the recipes , please!
Ken is the professional server here
really love this pizza! and the Tots, Thanks Shirley!
another  happy hour on a perfect desert day again.
LR, Suzie,Tom, Deb, Shirley, Ken, Ken, and Kim
          Sun setting and time for us to head home, whip up our supper and soon call it a night.
     Supper tonight a chorizo burger for me and a Turkey burger for Suzie on our Weber Q
the desert is turning green with this rain
and our slide seal repair seems to work, no leaks
       Burgers about done as the sun was setting, good timing.
this was all we needed tonight
    Just another great desert day at "home dirt"awesome weather, fun times with good friends , tasty snacks and a very good supper.
    Thanks for taking the time to stop by and check us out.

  1. Wow, great that your plans remain flexible,you certainly do not want to lose that heat shield, and you have a comfortable place to stay. The desert is looking green, any early flowers coming out?

  4. Good to find that heat shield before you were traveling and it came off and did some damage maybe. And it's always good to find stuff while parked instead of on the road. You did good and Suzy too.

    1. Yes Bob glad I found the source of the noise and it could be the source of the vibration we have on the road, it is large heat shield about 6 inches by 5 feet, sure would have made a mess of our towed car if it came off.

  5. Perhaps Suzie's suggestion has discovered the root of the noise she has been hearing for a while and couldn't never figure out. That Jell-o needed to jiggle! You are happy there so what's another few days?
    Shirley's treats look good, that cauliflower crust pizza especially. :)

  6. We did get our wish, but didn't want to wish that on you :) Thanks for trying to help with the thermostat appreciate much! Luckily we're not in Nevada or we'd have to buy something to get us through. I have to say your hamburgers grilling smelled so good last night! I told Ken this am we're going to have to get some beef, I'm feeling a need to have a burger coming on thanks to you :)! Love Happy Hour with everyone! Thank you for the compliments on my not so conventional snacks...hahah
