A cooler rainy day, good time to recover from some over worked muscles. And do some inside stuff.

Where are we today ?

      Cooling down even more 50 F (10C) at 5 am and still the same at 10 am overcast and drizzly looks like it could be all day. Did not get a good sleep last night , up at about 2:30 am and thought it was indigestion, tossed and turned , and read for a couple of hours then finally got up at 4:30.  Took some Gaviscon no that did not help then I was getting more pain and discomfort around my stomach and back. All of a sudden light bulb came on in my head. It was 2 days ago I had a nice workout at the fitness centre here and must have over done it even though I used light weights for my back and stomach. I should know better. I go through this every time I stay away from there for too long.  Ok now I know how to fix that 2 Advil and some Orthogel rub for fast pain relief I got from my chiropractor, almost instantly I began to feel better, Ya hoo!
      No walkabouts today at all with cool overcast day and non stop drizzle. Other than down to the office to pick up our new floor vent, Rob had ordered in for us, wholesale price he does for his members here.
broken vent on the left new one on the right
       So just hanging out trying to let that pain go away, a few  light exercises, Even an almost snooze in my recliner for 30 minutes (something I hardly ever do). No lunch for me today, but that is just fine when I don't feel hungry. I did manage to get some computing done, purged about 4 months worth of excess photos and backed up my Mac Book. Got a few hours reading done on my new page turner, another in the FBI series from Carolynn Arnold.
another great page turner
       Outside  only warmed up to 58 F (14C) and still drizzling. So an inside day relaxing and beginning to feel better and what better day to do it than with weather like this?
this was our views all day long
     Still not much hunger for supper , but should eat something so a plain 2 egg omelette for me with 2 pieces of toast WW multi grain bread, should do it and of course SiL Sandy's amazing home-made strawberry jam on the side I love. And while I am at it a made Suzie a tasty western omelette, with 3 eggs, ham , onions, mushrooms and cheese.
my plain omelette did the trick for me
just right
Suzie's western omlette / w cheese
      We actually enjoyed this wonderful inside day getting a few things done waiting for this weather to happen, and now my sore muscles are feeling almost like new again..
     I think similar weather tomorrow as well, no problem still have a few more inside things to take care of as well.
      Now here it is just after 6 pm and the sun is coming out!!  Awesome 59 F gonna sit outside for a bit then head back inside for the evening. Well we did at least enjoy a 1/2 hour outside as the sun was setting then cooled back down again.
     Want to thank y'all for taking the time to check us out and hope your weather was a bit nicer than ours.

Wishing all our families and friends a very Happy and Healthy New Year,
Hard to believe it is 2019 already 
        Much warmer last night for sleeping and next to no wind we had an excellent sleep. Being New Year's Eve day I wanted to pickup a few supplies in Yuma and as always headed out early, it was 7:45 should have left at 7:30 driving into the rising sun. No problem this time, Walmart and as usual in and out quickly and back home by 9 am.
Leaving the campground the sun is rising looks wonderful
on I-8 eastbound more nice sunrise
         We enjoyed a light lunch then I went for a short drive down the road, some more exploring, never know what I will come across. Then a light rain began being overcast and all a much cooler day especially with no sunshine. So relax inside in my new recliner, very comfortable for reading, much better than the old one.
this old deserted Motel from long ago
yup it is done and just left like so many other places here in the desert
probably was nice in its day
this the road I cruised not far from the campground 
another deserted building too
even this deserted inspection station 
new one on the other side heading westbound
      Below is the views we had most of the day , not great for relaxing outside though did get a few walkabouts done, only a couple of miles today.
another good author I enjoy
          For supper tonight a small pork rib eye roast on our grill mat with a salad. Hit the spot. This afternoon we both got some nice reading time done. I finished my last one by Wendy Corsi Staub very interesting about a group of women bloggers with breast cancer and of course an interesting plot of whodunit murders. Now started another book by Robert Crais another author I enjoy this one is Hostage. Don't think the temperature got above 54F so not a great day for hanging around out side.
      Soon time to begin supper on our Weber Q tonight a tasty pork ribeye roast to go with our salad
about 25 minutes done to perfection 145F internal temp
The salad Pork roast and homemade applesauce
Suzie's dad had made
      Then for New Years Eve over to Rob and Pat's with the rest of our Rock Glen Resort friends from Ontario. For some early new Year's eve fun.
All 8 of us here, Loree, Ron, Suzie, Pat, Rob. Me
and Patsy and Bill
Patsy getting set up for a group shot
then I mixed up a treat Macadamia and Tequila
but I guess too much Tequila, no matter  was tasty
         Ron and Loree headed home and the 6 of us played a card game wizard, a fun game, but by shortly after 9 pm I am falling asleep as usual so we finished the game and back home. wrapped up this posting and soon to Bed, Missing the new years eve fun but we have a great time with friends anyway.
Wizard is a fun card game they taught me
     That was out New Years Eve and a great one it was with good friends. Hope y"all had a wonderful New Years eve as well and all the best for 2019.
      Thanks for dropping on by. good night.
