      Very mild again last night no heat needed again this is more like the weather we have been waiting for. Wonderful morning sunshine and warming up nicely. I got a short walkabout the park then puttered around cleaning up the coach and car. Then to Forest to get my license sticker for the Motorhome, hmm did not check, they have closed down the office. I will have to find another location nearby. Did get 2 miles walked today at the end/.
lots of wind turbines in this area
these turbines are huge
         We enjoyed a light tasty lunch and now enjoying this wonderful warm sunny day, 71F (21C) at noon, gotta have my shorts on again.
        I had installed this new recliner last December in California. It needed a platform that I built there . But we want to make it look pretty. Like it belongs there. I had a plan We have some leftover flooring when we had it done in our coach 2 years ago. Back back home in Ontario. Stored at our friends Chris and Bills' place, a good reason to visit these guys last week. We have the flooring now and contacted our friend Walt and he came out to instal this and make it look pretty for Suzie, he has the tools and expertise to do this, my tools have gone away when went fulltime.
this is what it looked liked before
finished job. Walt did an amazing job!
       Walt came out and brought his wife Barb and a doggie fix for Suzie with Mya. Suzie and Barb had a nice visit while I helped, or hindered Walt as much as I could. Just and extra hand when he needed one.
Doggie Kisses for Suzie
     While he was working on this the skies got darkened rains began. So I deployed our awning and he kept on working , Gotta get this job done. And he did.
Walt hard  at work
     We done working now time for Happy hour so Walt got to enjoy a cold beer plus relax my chair.

Where are we today ?

        Was a great sleep we had here now in Calfornia.  Much warmer overnight now about 50 F at 4 am when I woke up. I got my coffee and computing done and waiting a  bit for Suzie to get up finaly   at 6 am. Then I  headed out to the Home Depot in Yuma AZ. I have the plan in my head what I need to do to secure my chair properly.  And knew I could get what I wanted there. A piece of 1/2 inch plywood 28 X 28 inches  to bolt the the floor, The scrap from that part sheet I borrowed a skill saw from head maintenance here  Joe, who we have known for years. Drilled some holes  added the extra pieces to give me the 1 inch height around the edge to fasten the legs. And with our good friend  Rob here helping me a bit and the loan of his cordless drill driver, (mine has died) Got er done. Only problem with all the million screws I have on board for these projects I don't have the right length I need to secure the legs.  No problem I will pick some up maybe tomorrow, then we good to go.
    I will put the finishing touches on to make it look pretty (Suzie's request), With the extra flooring we have stored back home in the spring.
almost a full moon as I headed out this morning
just after 6 am
    Got to the Home Depot, nice that they open at 5 am. Found what we needed and the helpful staff cut  it to size for me. Now fits in the car.
Love coming here great service they have
         Back home and with the saw I borrowed, we got things taken care of.
getting it all together
     Now we almost good to go. At least the chair is secured .
looking better
     After a light tasty lunch I can clean up my mess, put tools away and relax under our awning on an  amazing hot California sunny afternoon. In the shade afternoon temps got to 80F and is what we are here for.
Even Suzie in shorts and her umbrella to shade her,
she is not a sun worshiper and neither am I
      After a very nice afternoon enjoying our page turners and puttering around we were invited to Bill and Patsy's for happy hour at 3:30 so we joined our friends and flapped our gums for a while sharing stories, solving the worlds problems and telling lies, Heck this is what do.Always having fun when we get together.
Ron, Bill and Freddie
Clemson was here keeping a low profile
            And the rest of us here had a fun time.
      Close to 5 pm, time for supper so we all headed on home. I whipped up our tasty salad to go with some boneless, skinless chicken thighs, And while I did that we got to enjoy another desert sunset.
      Chick thighs almost done with the Bourbon BB sauce . Thanks to Deb for the tip.
done perfectly and so tasty
Tasty? Yup, and leftovers as well
a perfect meal for us
          Another great day we enjoyed, getting things done, happy hour with friends and a yummy supper, enjoying some amazing December weather. Yup we do love this lifestyle, can you tell?
          Thanks for checking us out and hope y"all had a great day as  well.
