Day 26017!

As we were running around getting shopping done today, my iPhone decided to turn the camera on.  This happens fairly often.  I am not sure what causes it though.

Anyway, here is the best of today’s, from inside my shirt pocket!

Day 26016!

Rain Spirit is a wonderful place, quiet, peaceful, not too big…but the WiFi is crap.

Seen way too often:

This is getting old.  Almost as old as that danged furnace…

Day 26015 Extra!

The sunset has been spectacular back home in Grff’lls!  Two from the Dailylife Granddaughter #1 (she’s a Freshman in >>College<< now!)

Day 26015!

A regular stop for people living in an RV.  Particularly when it is cold at night and the furnace runs a lot.

The only thing “flowering”. And I think they are dried from last year.  Everything should be starting before we head north in April.

And a nice sunset over the pool.  We had a lot of sunsets painting the sky our first year down here.  None of the subsequent years have matched it.

Day 26014!

We had a fairly nice* sunrise this morning!  (* only slightly enhanced for color…)

We had to drive to Phoenix this morning for a dermatology appointment.  There is a rest area, previously seen here, about half way, just before the start of a BIG hill running down past Bumblebee, Arizona!  There was considerable construction when we were here two years ago, and it is finished now!  They made reversible “flex lanes” like they use in big cities.  Phoenix counts as a BIG city, but this is, frankly, in the middle of NO-WHERE, AZ!  The Dailylife Wife looked it up on our way home, and it is essentially an HOV lane for northbound traffic Monday through Saturday.  Sunday is just for Southbound traffic!

After the appointment we stopped at Kneaders for lunch.  It is a bakery/cafe/santa shop.  A good lunch at a reasonable (if any can be) price.  And they offer classes!

Day 26013!

A quick iPhone photo taken on my bike ride to Tuzigoot National Monument, just down the road:

A bit closer view via cropping the top photo more:

Day 26012!

It has been over a month since I filled up the truck: 347 miles (Clarkdale to Phoenix and back, plus a few miles) over a pretty tall summit, 26.079 gallons, 13.3 MPG!  And I just missed a significant odometer turnover…990 miles more until the next one, the big 155k!

For some color, a somewhat fuzzy view of our trailer and Subaru to the right of the tree.  Thankfully Carplay is looking sharp!

Day 26011!

We went out for a nice breakfast at the Black Bear Diner…still incredibly better than the one they tried to open in Great Falls!

This is the remains of the “Volcano”: 3 pancakes, 2 bacon strips, 2 sauage links, and 2 eggs.  Not to mention the 3 little cups of syrup and >>5<< butter pats!

Both the Dailylife Wife and I liked our respective breakfasts (she had an omelet and a biscuit).  But later in the day her’s seems to have caused some distress.  A hurried roadtrip for some ginger ale:

and the return:

Day 26010!

A sunny but cool, occasionally windy, day.

I am glad we have our heated waterhose on!

Day 26009!

While sunny today, it remained pretty cold, particularly with that wind!  So I decided to show a better view of my “office”.

Yesterday’s photo was out that window on the left.

A few more from this evening!:

Looking West after the sunset.

Looking East at the stars.

Another view of our street in panorama form, after dark.  Click on it a couple times to see it bigger!
