Lock Down

We're just staying here on the lot to do our part in this bad time for everyone. The stores have been out of toilet paper for over a week. We have six rolls. If we both use two sheets a day and use both sides we can make it for a month or so. We hope this comes to an end soon. 

Even the St. Patrick's Day party got cancelled at Crazy Earl's. They were going to have Irish Bagpipers there. So we were bummed about that. We made Irish Coffee That day! 

 Just before Bill and Marsha left for home, we made a trip out into The Barry Goldwater bombing range and to the Fontana Gold Mine. It's a fun, one hour ride from our lot out in the desert.

The tracker did a good job getting us there. But the next day I took it to Big O Tire to get new shocks on the back. One was broken. Now it rides much better.

Just looking for Gold. Didn't find any.

You see these signs on the trail. This is the bombing range and there are unexploded bombs in the desert.

Part of the old mine. The mine was active back in the 1880's

Before this covid-19 stuff started we had our Canada/USA golf outing. This is the first time Canada won. So they are 1-2 now.

It was a nice day to golf. We had 60 people play. 

Then when Covid-19 hit the next week, we had 40 people signed up but only 14 showed. 

Some of our Canadian friends that left Doug, Toni and John. Toni and John just got here and had to leave after two weeks. 
A short trip! 

Most of the Canadians have left for home, a little early this year.

The after party in the club house.

My team shot even par at 36 to tie the team we played.

Peggy baby sat Koby for one night. Koby is a funny dog. He would stay up high to keep Katie away.

New Toy and Work on the RV

I bought a new toy. A 1999 Chevy Tracker 4x4. We can use it to drive around town and out in the desert and when we leave here for the summer we can put it inside our shed to keep it out of the hot sun.

It has 130,000 miles on it but it drives really nice. It has a sunroof, a cassette tape deck (that'll come in handy) and manual windows.

Peggy detailed it all day Saturday while I was at a golf outing, and it looks like new.

We got the carpet replaced in our rolling home. 

Now Peggy can get rid of the vacuum cleaner!

 We got a guy, Frank, who does a great job. He was the same guy that did the work in the bedroom last year.

We changed the air conditioner vent to make it a little quieter in the bedroom. It's almost time to start running the air soon.  

Out to dinner with Bill, Marsha, Peggy, Sharon, and Bill (out of the picture). Great Mexican food and cold Modelo cerveza.

Bill coming out of the restaurant with his shirt on inside out! No one noticed it until after dinner. You can bet we all had fun with that senior moment!

 This is a first, Peggy bought something at a yard sale! A table and 4 chairs for our patio. Pretty nice for $40.

Peggy and one of the locals at the 4th of July parade in Horton's Bay, Michigan. I think it was back in 1999.
