John got busy this week and wired the storage shed so now we have lights and working plug ins both inside and outside the structure.
I started helping Ray and Kay this week cleaning up at the Aztec RV Park. They kind of look after the Maintenance down there. There is a ton of leaves that need to be raked so we have several days or raking ahead of us. I help them so that I can get exercise……it is a good thing!!
Hogan went for his surgery on Wednesday and I brought him home on Thursday. Once again he had a huge dressing around his neck and he looked rather sad but was happy to see Kay and I that morning. He was more than ready to leave!! The surgery went well so hopefully we have bought him a few more years. Thyroid Cancer can be rather "iffy" so we will keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best.
When we went to pick Hogan up, the clutch on the jeep was acting up and by the time we arrived at the vet clinic, it was pretty much toast. Long story short….Ray came to save us and John ended up taking the jeep in for repairs. Yes, the clutch slave cylinder was toast. Shit, Oh Dear…Bitches be breaking the jeep!! I had mention to John a week ago that something wasn't quite right with the shifting but…..what the hell do I know!!!!
John decided to build me a laundry room so he got busy on that little project. It went up quickly and will now house the upright freezer that I got from Mitch (it cost me a 30 pack of beer!!) and a washer and dryer (which is on the agenda for next year). Mitch has once again offered the use of his washer and dryer to me this year.
We headed to Quartzsite this week and ended up having to buy a new controller for the system. So much for a cheap fix but I was tired of heading to McDonalds for their WiFi every time we had to do some banking!! No internet service is NOT an option so, $550.00 dollars later…..it was fixed!!
Now, I can get back to keeping track of our many "kids"!!
We have to build a fence this year (park rules if you have a dog) so John got busy and figured out the material we needed for it and a new front step and Kay and I headed into Home Depot to pick of all the stuff. We are now waiting on Lee (a local contractor) to come and dig the holes for the fence posts and cement them in.
It has been a busy week again, but we did find the time for a quad ride. We scooted across the highway and entered the trails just down form the park entrance. We travelled the San Domingo Wash, crossed under the highway and the train bridge then made our way to Wickenburg Mountain before finally coming home. It was a great day for a ride and it was good to once again be riding in the desert around here.
Life is good.
