Where are we today ?
Very warm overnight. in the high 50's so windows open and fantastic fan running made us quite comfortable for sleeping. And we did sleep very well.
After the standard computing and a pot of coffee got a couple walkabouts done, Around the resort and really enjoying this great weather we are having here.

Check with Suzie and she requested spare ribs for supper. So on a mission into DHS Two big grocery stores here. Stater Bros has pork back ribs for $2.99 a Lb (good deal) so picked up a nice large slab for 7 bucks we will get 2 meals out of this.
Back home a bite for lunch then down the road in the other direction to check our Blair Station as recommended by Rick Doyle back in 2011 you can check out his posting
HERE. Need a new propane regulator for our coach. The old one is making weird noises and dripping liquid propane occasionally.
This place is very remote on the desert an unassuming but really quite amazing with the inventory and knowledge that Blair has. Really puts places like Camping World to shame.

| does not look like much , but.... |
As soon as I came in Blair was there and got the exact part I needed, gave me advice on how to install this regulator, then I browsed the store , from room to room and building to building, amazing what they have here. Gonna go back again and look around, also very competitive prices too.

| we can have a white Christmas here, just look at the mountain |
Below is our old propane regulator, makes a whistling sound and drips liquid from the vent so needs to be replaced. New one says to replace every 10 years, ours is 15 years old so guess it was overdue.

An easy job to do about 20 minutes, checked all the connections for leaks and we are good to go.

Then got Suzie to come with me for another walkabout. This is a large park so lots of places to explore. Stopped by
Joe and Betty's site they just arrived today. Chatted for a bit then back home to enjoy this wonderful afternoon weather reading for a while.

Then I wandered over the the spa and enjoyed the Hot pool and large swimming pool for a while before returning home to whip up supper.
The ribs in foil with sauerkraut for about 90 minutes on low on our Weber Q 100. Recipe
HERE. Then on the grill with sticky BBQ sauce to glaze them.

That was it for our great day here at Catalina Spa.
