Pinedale On Line DEQ cam photo

Just snagged this early morning photo off Pinedale On Line's DEQ cam.  Kind of a pretty picture of Pinedale Wy. facing a morning of below zero temps.  Cool!! (literally)

After

The graphics guys finished the decals right on time. Picture doesn't do much justice to such matters but they did a fantastic job on it. Where those pictures were before was a glob of sticky material and cracked and worn decals. They use a different material on these and seal them somehow. They warranty them for 7 years...

Slept in my own bed last night

Late planes, lost luggage, got the crud, at least it isn't as bad as this poor guy jumping out of that airplane for the first time in his life.  My portion of the trial in Riverton is over.  I'm released from subpoena so I can now officially relax and enjoy life...

All done headed home

Finished up on witness stand. Can't discuss what I testified to. Riverton airport headed for Phoenix......Sooooo glad that's over

Finally....today

After a two day wait, finally will get on the witness stand today. Hopefully will finish by tomorrow so I can catch my plane.....it will be tight.

Lander Wy

Safe uneventful trip to Wyoming last evening. Missed most of the football games.

It's that time of year again.

I signed up to jump again this year.  Such a jolt flying out of that airplane door.  When I was in the army I almost (emphasis on almost) went to Jump school at Ft. Benning Ga.  Glad I didn't, airborne rangers had a high mortality rate during the vietnam conflict.

Los Algodones Mexico

Was a bit of a culture shock to spend the day in Los Algodones Mexico, streets are lined with dentist offices and optical places. Dental crowns are $150.00 each, you can get your eyes tested and great pair of glasses for $129. Food was good, I'll probably know more about that in the morning. Was kind of a fun bus trip down (cross south of Yuma Az). 4 hours down on the bus, 5 hours on the ground and 4 hours back. I'm tired....

Crumbling decals

Sunday when I fly to Wyoming for the murder trial I leave my trailer at a local decal place and get new decals put on. This year of Montana trailers (2007) are infamous for "ugly" decals, they curl up and literally fall off leaving a sticky residue. Of course the warranty expired nearly 2 years ago so the company just lets YOU pay for it. I'll post an after picture late next week after I get it out of the shop and get back from balmy Lander Wyoming.

70 degrees here today.

Sardines

Wintertime and the rv park gets more and more crowded. This year, unlike last year though, there are about 20 sites that are not taken. Uncertain economy and diesel prices undoubtedly have an affect on it.

Raining slightly here in Apache junction today, will be short lived though, supposed to be sunny and warming up soon. We're off to a local Chinese buffet to gourge ourselves again, they have big crab legs on Sundays. I need another buffet like a fox needs a dog whistle...

Interesting looking motorcycle

Took this picture a couple days ago in Mesa near the putt putt golf place. There's little tubes with spikes on them and I hope they're oil cooling units and not shotguns. The front fender has spikes on top of it also. I'm just afrade that the owner may have some anger issues????

Contact sport?

It will probably never be said that putt putt golf is a contact sport. We played at a nice park in Mesa Az. today, I shot a terrible game. That's Win and Bebe Farnsworth on the left , my Canadian friends in the middle and my partner Phil ( Who was an army drill sergeant at one time). Had a great time, pretty cheap entertainment for $3.68 each for 18 holes

A few minutes too late

Dang, that's two mornings in a row that I climbed up on the trailer to get a good sunrise picture. thought it would be a good one this morning because of the clouds. And as usual I was about 4 minutes late. Sun coming up and messing the pic. up.

Had a good get together with friends last evening, went to a local pizza place that makes pizzas to die for, well die may be kind of a strong statement. To live for, that's it.....

Mayan/

This fellow may very well have invented the Mayan calendar. If he's right then the world will end Dec 23 of this year. If not then he'll end up in the scrap pile I guess...

Tucson trip

Pic. kind of speaks for itself.

Off to see cousins today, maybe go downtown Phoenix and rustle up some grub?

Interesting art

Went to a place where they sold all kinds of this type of art. The owner says they sell lots of this stuff to people. That thing in the middle is an old motorcycle with St. Nick aboard.

Put 235 miles on the truck today to travel down there with friends (near Oracle Az.)

Biosphere

Went to the biosphere today near Tucson. It was in the news in the 80's and 90's when some people went inside and lived for 3 years. They were sealed in and had to grow their own food etc. Was kind of interesting. Came back through Globe Arizona and saw some new country. Was fun.. Win and Bebe Farnsworth went with and others from our RV park.

Pictured is part of the Biosphere experiement buildings. Officially it's called Biosphere 2, they said that Biosphere 1 is the earth that surrounds us.

New coach

My old friend Win Farnsworth and his wife got a new coach a while back. It's sooooo nice. These new ones do everything but blow your nose for you. I think it's 45' long and has a 500 cubic inch Cummins diesel engine. They're right across the street from my winter spot. I had to borrow his vehicle yesterday to go to the dentist. The window repairman was working on mine.

Off to do a bunch of errands today. I signed up for the trip to Mexico, it's a day trip and leaves the RV park on Jan. 19th very early. I'll break that new passport in. We travel to Algadones which is a very safe tourist place just south of Yuma Az.

No more 55" tv

Sadly when I sold the house the 55" HD tv went with it. The one in my trailer is about 1/4 that size but it's nice. I do get HD but through the antenna. The local Phoenix stations are crystal clear and in HD. I have Directv for regular stuff but don't have an HD antenna on the trailer. Poor me

Polar bear club 2012

The polar bear guys just before they jumped in the pool. Some have had a couple too many pork chops...
