Happy Monday everybody! Now get in your little yellow Pirogi and get to work. You are Late!! Traffic will all be jammed up, you'll never find a parking place, you'll get a nasty look the moment you walk in the door and you'll be all nervous and upset. Ah, the joys of working for a living! And you have HOW MANY years to go before you retire? Like me!!
I kept trying to get back on here last night, but I guess too many people were sharing the WiFi here at the RV Park and it slowed down so bad that everything on the internet just stalled out.
I hope Free and her family enjoyed their outing. Getting out and camping is something they all enjoy... she's mentioned that a lot.
On this trailer of ours, I had the entire bottom opened up and filled it with foam spray insulation. And what a difference that makes! Even in the heat out here you can only run one of the two air conditioners at a time, and it needs to be on low or you'll freeze. And in cold weather the furnace only has to run for short periods. That insulation on the bottom really made a big difference and makes this pioneer style of living a lot more tolerable.
Of course, the full size shower and bath, massaging lounge chairs, the big flat screen television, all the appliances, computer desk ... all make trailer living easy.
Another thing I did that made the trailer nicer to pull was to get rid of the Chinese tires that came with it and put on Michilen Trailer Tires. The trailer pulls easier and they give me a lot of peace of mind.
Of course, you're at work and don't care about any of this. And you're Sociable Securities contributions helped pay for my trailer and I'd like to thank you for that. In fact, I'll thank you every month. I want you to know that your hard work really is appreciated. As I continue this month long vacation.

That's right TT!! Keep on those people that have to go to work for our Sociable Securities contributions! 
Good morning, gang! This is just a quick "hello" before I get back to the backyard renovation. Things are going much slower, with more hiccups, than I had hoped. Oh well, the joys of DIY!
As I told my son and my DIL, while they did the prep work for the wedding: There will be hiccups so hope they are just little ones.
Good morning housemates! We just got our delivery in of 6 pallets of stone for our backyard project. Yipee!! We are building 3 retaining walls, a fire pit, and two benches. I predict stock prices will rise for ibuprofen 
tg that sounds like a whole lot of work!!! Bet it will be great when done though. 
I tried and tried to get back on here last night and the WiFi just wouldn't let me.
Honey girl had picked us up a new Mr. Coffee recently and cleaned it and ran a few pots of just water through it to get all the machining oils out. We normally use a different brand of pot but this one really does a good job. After this morning coffee I think I'm sold on it.
We made it to Tucson and had a fine time. I had bought a new stereo for my truck the last time we were out here and a couple weeks ago it quit working. So I ran it back by the shop and the guy stuck a paper clip in the reset - he showed me where the reset is - and that's all that was wrong. Now I can play the music from my iPod on the truck stereo again. And I'm happy.
Tucson has two excellent radio stations on AM, one is a 50's Oldies station and the other is a 40's Oldies station. I spent a lot of time going back and forth between the two!! Then we were off to Mt. Lemon, a sight seeing trip I never tire of. I'll get the pics uploaded later, but they really don't do it justice and of course, pics are at the mercy of pull-over's, so there's some views that can't be captured. Its a spectacular ride but don't look for it in the pics ...you really have to go there to appreciate the beauty of it.
It was 105 degrees in Tucson and 78 degrees on top of the mountain at a little over 8,000 feet! The air up there is so clean it almost makes you think you've never breathed before.
Then back down to the valley and Luke's on S. Alvernon. DW had the beef on a roll with the juice (au jus) and I just had to have the Italian sausage. I can't tell you how much I love Italian sausage and can never pass it up. The food was more than plentiful, delicious and everything kgj said it was.
Then on to the home of a relative and stayed way too late visiting. Its only a little over an hour drive to where our travel trailer is at, so although it was pretty late when we got home it wasn't real bad. And like I said, I tried to get on here and couldn't, so I got cleaned up and went to bed with a smile on my face. Real nice day!!
This morning we're both feeling a little achey, I think from climbing in and out of the truck so much to take pictures.
Today, honey girl wants to visit some of the local shops where she won't buy anything (did I tell you she's a tightwad???) and I'll get to bake in the sun like a lizard on a flat rock. Oh, up on Mt. Lemmon we saw one of the biggest lizards I've ever seen. He (or she - I didn't get a close look) was lightening fast and in a small tree. We tried to get a pic of it, but this thing was so fast and so shy we never were able to do it. I kept thinking how proud kgj would have been to have this lizard on his cooking rock.
We plan on being here until Thursday or Friday and then I think ... take off for the Big Bend Country of Texas.
So the adventure will continue!!
