Happy St. Patrick's Day

 Happy St. Patrick's Day! We had a St Patrick's Day kegger here at the BGE RV Resort.



Almost everyone has had their shot, so we all felt safe and needed to blow off some steam. So let's get a Keg of Beer and have some fun. It's good to have a lot of good friends to party with.


I love St. Patrick's Day. My second most favorite holiday.

We had a corn hole tournament going all day. The party started at 11:00 am. You can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning!


All the "Hook and Ring" winners.

Sandi bought this super keg cooler. It has kept the keg cold for 3 days so far. I bought a 1/2 barrel. That's too much. Next keger: 1/4 barrel. Back in the day we could drink a 1/2 barrel. But we all had a good time. I smoked 2 big pork butts on the BGE for the party. We had a ton of food to eat.

Gary helping with the keg.


Peggy had a little Irish coffee to start the day off.

Second Shot

 We got our second Covid shot last Monday. Yuma county did a great job. There are over 40,700 people vaccinated in Yuma. Most people over 65. Bill is under 65 but today he's going to Phoenix to get the Johnson & Johnson shot at a CVS pharmacy.

So, here we are out to dinner for Bill's birthday. Of course at the A&R Grill.


Hurry to the merchandise page to order your own BGE RV Resort shirt.😉 It's too late to get one before St. Patrick's Day.

They're pretty cool.

We had a Dog happy hour on Sunday. We had 4 dogs having a good time running around. Well . . . 3 out of 4, Koby was the only one that wouldn't play.
They all have fun running around free on the lot.

Katie and Gracie. Gracie is only 3 months old, but she plays really hard with the bigger dogs and can hold her own.
Here she is taking a small break.

Opening up

 Things are starting to open up for us after we got our shot. Almost everyone I know over 65 have had their first shot. The state of Arizona is doing a great job getting the vaccine to the people that need it. 
I even know some Canadians that have gotten the shot. That's a great thing.

Here we are out to Bottom's Up for Bloody Mary breakfast 

We got our dinette recovered and it looks great. They did a good job.


Reinstalling it was a piece of cake.


Bill and Sharon got a new puppy, Gracie. She is so cute.

 Katie thinks she is the cutest.

Katie, Buffy and Gracie rolling around playing with a toy.


Poor little Gracie broke her nail off playing somewhere. But it doesn't slow her down much.


Peggy and I made a "Hook and Ring" game. We came up with a really cool design that folds up close to the wall.

It's a cool Happy Hour game that old people can play and not get hurt doing it.


It was kinda fun putting together. I think we could have bought it online cheaper, but that wouldn't have been as fun building it ourselves. The farther out the hook is, the harder the game is. I may have to adjust that.

The weather is starting to warm up a bit. We have been sleeping with the window open a bit. I think winter is done here.


Jeff and Diane got a really cool looking cactus plant. I want one. Hummingbirds like this one.

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.
