My Life and Travels
No fishing today, the water is dirty and it is going to rain all day.
Yesterday after I wrote the post I went outside to check on things and almost got blown over, wind was 50+.
Here is tonight’s forecast;
I will put the slides in before we go to bed.
This is our cellphone data service at Ruby Creek with the WeBoost on, have nothing without it.
Yesterday’s post ended up taking almost an hour to get it to actually post, oh well.
Happy Birthday Stine.
You cannot see the wind but it is blowing 20-35 mph all day. Blowing so hard I had to be careful it didn’t blowing my glasses off. The slides have been in all day and will be that way tonight.
The river is pretty dirty here but not to bad up at Three Dollar Bridge. 100% chance of rain tomorrow so we’ll see it goes, wind is supposed to be down 83° today 53° tomorrow.
We moved looking for more fish. We had ZERO cellphone while we were on the Big Hole River, it was a great place and I will go back and fill in the blog.
Today’s drive
I could not get the window on the left to close, touch screens can be a challenge.
We are in the same site as last year, starting June 17, 2018.
Current plan is to fish this area until June 24th.
Good drive today 388 miles.
Little rain the last hour.
Campsite
Big dust storm in southern Cal today. We were on the road and moving at 5:30 a.m. this morning and got 509 miles north. We had wind all day mostly in the 20 to 30 some 40’s.
It is getting cooler.
After a week at Death Valley.
Here is today’s drive
This is the second time I I posted this, my cellphone connection died in the middle of a upload and trashed the post and my login. Took 45 minutes Tuesday 4/9 to get logged in.
I will catch up we get to the big house, Tuesday 4/9 ended up being a 509 mile day but we are out of the dust storm in southern Cal.
Left Phoenix Monday morning for some desert time in Quartzsite.
Lot of flowers this year.
We will hang around here for a while then maybe go to Death Valley.
Yesterday it was 89, 85 today and weather channel says 82 to 85 for the next week or so.
Last game of the Spring Training.
Saw on the news that Spring Training brings the Valley $688 million with $32 million in tax revenue.
Yes we won the last two games.
This is what the new screen has done to our pictures.
Really enjoyable game.
And we won.
Today we got a new awning and slide topper rollers.
We replaced the awning before it failed. It was starting to some small wear point holes but what I was really concerned about was the small area between the coach and the awning’s metal cover. It was a place where moss would grow on the awning material and the fabric would eventually fail.
Brian and I replaced the slide toppers this winter and on the way down here last month I noticed the rollers were not rolling round.
Here is why, the caps are made of a rather soft metal the once round hole is now an oval. I found replacements on EBay for $140.00 a slide. The awning folks would replace them for $250.00 a slide, I decided it was worth the $100.00 each to have it done. It even seemed like a better deal when one of the spring loaded end caps got away from one of the installers and just nicked a finger.
Miss you Hank,
