The highlight of last week was indubitably getting 50 amp power at our site. We have been here two months struggling with 30 amp power. If it's good power, we do ok. But in this park it is most definitely not good power. That meant we could only run one item at a time. If the coffee was cooking, no using the toaster or microwave. In order to use the hair dryer.......turn off everything else. When the power went off at 11:15 at night and the only thing drawing power was the tv, that was the last straw. Doug spoke to the park manager, who convinced the owner that 50 amp was a necessity. Yee haw!!!!
Wednesday morning at 6:15 the electrical guys showed up! Doug raced outside to help and spent 8 hours digging trenches and helping install stuff. The next morning they came back to finish the installation with new power meters and life is good.
Friday, we took a ride to Phoenix (actually Glendale) to Doug's idea of heaven......Harbour Freight. This place is Disneyland for tool guys. While he shopped there, I ran next door to the Oroweat Bakery Outlet. It's one of my favorite places. I stocked up on bagels and bread then met Doug with his treasures.
Doug took our neighbor Dale out to our favorite gold digging spot on Saturday. Dale is quite elderly and struggling with cancer but he loves the desert and gold. Following their trip, Doug spent the afternoon repairing the rear tire on the Jeep. He found a screw stuck in it, plugged it, aired it and test drove it. Hooray it works again.
The weather has cooled a little bit. In fact, we even had a few light sprinkles yesterday morning and the high only got to 92. Today we still have some clouds but we are creeping back into the mid to high 90's again.
There's nothing exciting planned for next week. So, if nothing exciting happens, you'll hear from us next Sunday.
