Sandstorms and Grilled Onions . . .
We started off this morning with coffee and no satellite TV. The high winds that were rocking the coach and rattling the awnings had blown over the sat dish. The ground was too hard to stake it down so it was ripe for being blown over.
A little before 11 Nick and I went up to the office to re-up for another week, but the office was closed, so we’ll try again later.
The wind had picked up some much that I finally went out and let the awnings in, as they were getting really noisy. Then pretty quick after that the sand storms started sweeping across the fairgrounds, in some cases blocking out the rigs parked right across from us. Hope we still have a paint job left when we leave here.
A little after 1 I talked with a friend of mine who owns an A/C company to get a quote on installing a new system in our house in Friendswood, TX. I hoping he can give me a better deal than the original quote I have. Then after talking with him I emailed him a copy of the quote that I had.
About 2 Nick and I drove back up to the office to pay up for another week here. The sand was blowing so hard I figure we were lucky to find our coaches again.
Later I talked with Thousand Trails about the membership that we’re going to be taking over, to be sure the transfer is in the works. We’re hoping to get it completed before we leave here the first part of April. We’ll see.
About 4:30 we headed over to the Five Guys Burgers and Fries to meet Nick, Terry, and his cousin, Beverly. This was our first visit to Five Guys, and it was as good as we had heard. The burgers were delicious, and I like the fact that all the fixings, including jalapenos, grilled onions, and grilled mushrooms, were free.
Coming home we stopped by Lowe’s to pick up a piece of transition strip to see how it’s going to work between the Corian tile in the kitchen and the new Allure laminate in the living room.
I’ve got pretty much all the carpet up under the driver’s seat, and now need to decide where I’m going to make the joint between the laminate and the carpet that I’m leaving under the driver’s feet.
Getting home, the winds had died down, so I took a few minutes to get the sat dish up right and aimed. Can’t miss Monday night TV.
Tomorrow we plan a day trip down to the Tombstone area, and then possibly on to Bisbee.
