Goodyear, AZ – Thursday February 27, 2020

Nice sunny day today. Mariner’s played a split squad games and we lost both. We saw San Fran Giants win 5 to 4 and Chicago White Socks won 6 to 5.

Here is Kyle Seagar at bat.

iPhone pick up a lot of the screen, haven’t figured out how to get it to focus on the object on the other side of the screen and not the screen.

The attendance was 4108.

Today’s temp got me thinking about spring and fishing.

Today’s high is 78 here in Goodyear, AZ.

Spring fishing hole in Montana isn’t quite up to Arizona temps, low 21 high 44.

Fall fishing is only 20 and 53. I guess I’ll need to wait a while.

Boron, CA – Tuesday February 11, 2020

Today was a driving day:
On the road at 6:30 a.m.
Got to Boron, Ca for the night at 4:30 p.m.
495 miles with a tail wind most of the day
We have spent many nights at this rest spot both on our trips south and also going north
Clear sunny day all day long
Wednesday will be 276 miles to Quartzsite

Boron is just north of Edwards Air Force Base.

Not much of a campsite picture but it is a rest stop.

Eugene, Oregon – Sunday Feb 9, 2020

First day on the road for 2020.

Mariner’s Spring Training

Montana for part of May and June
Richland for last half of June and July
Big House for last half of July and half of August

Today’s travels, 271 miles

It’s the ever popular rest stop night. Tomorrow’s goal is Red Bluff, Ca. At least it is not raining today. We had a lot of rain in January. SeaTac Airport averages 35 inches of rain per year and Enumclaw get 50 inches of rain. Brian lives right next to the airport and they got 14 inches of rain during January. That means we got around 28 inches. Nice to be out of the rain for a while.

Big House – Saturday January 4, 2020

This will have several firsts:
First time to post with my new IPad keyboard the Garcia’s got me for Christmas.
First time to post using WordPress off line function. In one of the WordPress updates I read that they were adding the function of write a post offline and the posting later. I have tired several apps and none of them really worked.

I have had several motorhome projects since we got to the big house and his week I updated the front support for my fly rod storage tubes.

This was a quick design that I hoped would work. The challenge is that their is no way to connect the support to the back wall of the storage compartment without drilling a hole. I don’t like adding places for water to get in, so this is what I started with.

Running the piece of plywood across the top of the compartment solved my problem of how to keep the support on the back wall of the compartment. The support is sitting on the PVC fence post I use to store the folding ladder.

I really like this keyboard, I like typing a keyboard that has movement in the keys. The WordPress writing offline is not working so well, pictures are not attaching themselves to the post. Oh, well.

Follow-up, as soon as I turned wifi on this post published including the pictures. This may work, I’ll have to check on a few more things like publish, if the publish date is the date written or date transmitted to the web. I can always go back and change publishing date in WordPress options. This could solve the challenge of spending a day updating the blog after being without internet for extended periods of time. And I REALLY like this keyboard with backspace, delete, arrow keys, shift KEY for caps, it is full keyboard.
