Warp Speed

 Thanks to Donald Trump for getting "Warp Speed" done! We got our first shots done yesterday at the Yuma Regional Hospital Covid vaccine program. We're thankful we got it done already. I didn't think it would happen this fast. We can now change our summer plans.

Standing in line for the shot. It was very organized. They had scheduled groups of appointments every 10 minutes.

Inside they had 10 lanes to get shots. Not a very long wait. They did a great job getting it done. They did 850 people that day.

Peggy and I at our favorite place having a Beer to celebrate getting our shots. The A&R grill!

We love the food, drinks and the people at the A&R Grill. 

Best food in Yuma!

I did a big project. Sealed the pavers! Should have done it a long time ago. It looks great.

 

It was EASY to do. Only took 3 gallons of the High Gloss sealer to do the job.

It looks great and Katie loves it.

When I got home from golf I couldn't get the back door of the Tracker open. I had to crawl in the back and rip the molding off the back door to get at the latch. I took it apart and cleaned the latch. Now it works like new. That's a lot of mechanical work for an electrician.

I got a Covid 3D puzzle to do. It took me 2 days to get it done.

It was a ton of fun to put together. Turn the crank and the balls run the track.

Pretty cool action.

Still tuff times

 We're still on Covid lock down. They are pretty slow with the vaccines here in Arizona. Anytime the government is in charge it's screwed up! They are vaccinating 75 and older, but the website doesn't work that good, so I've heard from some of my older friends. 

We made a trip with Bill out to the Fortuna mine in the Barry Goldwater Bombing Range. It'a an about an hour ride in the desert. Sometimes it's a pretty bumpy ride. But in Covid time it's something to do that's safe.

Got the big truck washed. We had to drive it to take our dinette to the upholstery shop. They put junk stuff in RV's.

We changed all our filters in the O.R. system. It's been six months since we put it in the RV and we love it! One of the best things we've done to the RV. It's a must have here in the southwest where the water quality is so bad.

Oh, I got a new temperature control for the BGE, the UltraQ! It's the latest and greatest thing. It's hooked up to the the internet and I can control it from my Google phone. Is that Cool or what?!  

Fun stuff.

This is how it looks on the phone.

The first thing I used it on was some Pork tenderloin meat sticks. Man are those good.

Here's Bonnie and Katie sleeping at the card table.

We're ready for the next big holiday: St Patrick's Day!

The weather has been great this year so far. Today it's going to get to 80 degrees. That's killer good weather.

Happy Holidays

 Happy Holidays to everyone. Stay home and be safe. We haven't been doing much lately. This covid thing is screwing up everybody's plans. Hope we can get the vaccine soon.

But we're still trying to have some fun somehow.

The dog pack is here to visit for the week. Katie is having a ton of fun with Booger, Baby and Bonnie. It's just a black and white blur running around most of the time.

We had a little light show in the smoke from the BGE. I was cooking a Prime Rib roast on it.

And sometimes we have a natural light show at sunset. We don't have clouds that often.

Heidi and Matt got me a really cool set of Bokashi Big Green Egg steak knives for Christmas. They are beautiful. That's Craig photobombing in the background.

Bill and Marsha brought us some Yellow Lake Perch from Michigan. You can't get Yellow Lake Perch out here in the west. We didn't share with anyone. They are too good.

Peggy sitting out around the campfire. The nights are so nice here.

Oh look, Matt got a nice set of Big Green Egg knives also. Matt is so lucky too.

New Teeth

 Just got back from Mexico with 3 new teeth. They feel great. The total cost was $1620.00! That's a wonderful thing. On my last trip I was over and back in 45 minutes. My next plan is to replace a tooth on the other side. I think I'm going to get an implant and crown at a cost of $2200.00. I have other options though.

A little project that we did was to mount a bigger TV outside in the RV port.

Got it done although I'm not that happy with the cabinet I used. It's a little too big. So I'm having a custom made one. But it will take some time for my guy to build it. His name is Cowboy so that says a lot. He only works part time. So I'm at his mercy.

Katie and Toby had a play date the other day. 

She slept the whole next day.

I put our Thanksgiving turkey on at 11:00 and it was done at 3:00.

How does it look?

Peggy made her world famous gravey and it was killer good.

We even made a pumpkin pie on the BGE

I love Thanksgiving, it's my favorite holiday.

Katie and I after the big Turkey feast.

Peggy helped me put up some dove deterrence in the RV port. The doves are a pain in the butt.

This what they look like. It's supposed to look like a predators eye and keep them away.  We put 15 of them up. So far it's working.   

We used a magnet to hold them up in the rafters. We used Peggy's old Golf Ball and String trick. It was kind of fun getting them up there.

BGE Pizza. I love cooking on the BGE.

All Settled In

 We're all settled in our new RV port and we love it! The weather has been great. 

The day we got the RV washed it rained for about 5 minutes. That's the way it goes for us. Good thing it's under the RV port. 

We get some of the best sunsets here in the Fortuna Foothills. We could take a picture every night.

This was the 5 minute rainstorm the day we had the RV washed. It had a double rainbow.

The before picture.

Peggy repainted our outside table and got new cushions. It looked pretty ugly.

Now it looks great! She did a great job.

Getting old is a bitch. I had a bridge and a cap just fall out of my mouth. We were out to lunch at our favorite place, The A&R Grill,  and found out that the owner's wife, Alma, is a dentist in Mexico. So I went to see her and get fixed up. The first thing was a root canal and gum surgery in preparation for a new bridge on one side. That wasn't fun, but I need to get it done. Three more trips to get it done. The cost is about 1/3 of the price here in the U.S. A root canal was only $400 and the gum surgery was only $150. The bridge is going to be $900. I had a quote from a dentist state side that it was going to be $7000 for the bridge plus $1900 for the root canal. That's why people go to Mexico.

Bill, Sharon and Buffy came over for a play date. Katie and Buffy are best friends. They play really hard.

I made a Pineapple upside down cake on the BGE. It turned out pretty good. I'll do it again.

Got this cool picture of Heidi. Had to add it to the blog.

Got a new update to my phone camera. Just playing with it a little.

Katie with the new camera.

Terry found this BGE Chiminea. These are pretty rare. They made these a long time ago. It's pretty cool.
