Wednesday, February 1/2012

Wow, it is already the first of February!!  The weather is nice back home as I see on Facebook that some folks are sitting outside in their T-shirts.  Nice!!  Of course it is much nicer down here and I certainly do not miss the cold but by all reports, it has been a "good" winter except for the 10 days of extreme cold weather a few weeks ago.
It is cloudy today so am not sure if the batteries will get fully charged or not and as it turned out, they did not!!  the sun managed to pop through only a few times and that was only briefly.
I made the call to Star Choice and had the receiver up and reprogrammed in no time.  The fellow was most helpful and now I have the re-programming instruction written down so that if it happens again, I will be able to fix the problem without having to phone into the company.
Keith came over today looking for some sort of glue that would repair cracked plastic as there is a crack in the big water barrel so he was trying to fix it until a new one can be bought.  I gave him what I thought might work and only time will tell if it works or not.  Charlotte was already on the internet looking for a replacement and thinks one can be found in Quartzsite so it looks like they have a road trip ahead of them.
It is a good thing that Quartzsite is not too far away.
John and I spent the evening around the "campfire in a can" tonight until it was time for supper.  Liver and onions is what is on the menu.  Hogan kept the campsite free of all two and four legged creatures again tonight so he was pretty tired by the time we moved into the bus for supper.
