Great Muffins and So-So Pizza . . .
I woke up about 10 am to another cold, rainy, dreary day, pretty much like yesterday, and tomorrow is supposed to be more of the same.
But Thursday is looking up. We’ll see.
I quickly made coffee in my nice, clean coffeemaker, anticipating some of Terry’s famous blueberry muffins that Nick had delivered last night.
I mentioned my clean coffeemaker because I spent a good while yesterday running pots of CLR through it to clean out the calcium buildup. And then I had to run 6-8 pots of clean water through it to clean out the CLR.
Getting back to the muffins, as usual they were delicious. Terry was trying a new recipe and came up with a really moist muffin just stuffed with blueberries.
At 11 we got to see ourselves on TV again on the The Talk. We were shown in the audience right when the hosts were introduced. We’ve got another shot at stardom on Friday the 20th, but we don’t know if we’ll be shown again.
Later Jan fixed us egg and cheese sandwiches for lunch that, along with Kettle Salt and Cracked Pepper Potato Chips, made for a great lunch.
Around 2:30 I walked next door to Nick’s to help him set up his Sears Air Compressor
and his Powertank Air Chuck.
About 5:30 we all headed out for supper at a local Italian place called Di Cicco’s. Turned out to be so-so. Better than Pizza Factory, not near as good as Crusty’s Pizza in Camp Verde, AZ, or Da Boyz in Yuma.
We all agreed that they don’t have oregano or basil in their kitchen, or at least they don’t use it.
On our way home we stopped off at a Chevron station to get a cappuccino as a nitecap.
That’s about it for today.

Mexican and Muffins . . .
Today was a pretty quiet day, nice for a change. I got up about 10:30 and made coffee. We were still pretty full from dinner at the casino last night so we didn’t have a muffin like usual.
We both spent the morning catching on Internet stuff since we had gotten behind in Las Vegas due to the power being off at the Thousand Trails park the last 2 days we were there, and then being on the road.
Then about 2:30 I got together with Nick to check out the leakage problem he’s having with his black tank valve.
Unlike mine, Nick’s valves are buried back under the rig and are cable-operated. We lubricated the cable and got it moving better. We’ll see how it works the next couple of days.
And in the meantime, I’ll do some research on how to replace the valve if it’s necessary.
About 4:15 we all headed up to Oakhurst to meet our friends Dave and Lynn Cross for dinner at El Cid, our favorite local Mexican place, stopping at the bank first on the way.
We had a good time getting together with Dave and Lynn, but we were kind of disappointed in our meal. Don’t know if it was an off-night, or if we’ve been spoiled by La Fonda or Esther’s Taco House, but it didn’t seem to be as good as last year. It wasn’t bad, just not as good.
After stopping off at the Von’s in Oakhurst for some groceries, we got home about 6:15 just ahead of the rain. In fact it’s supposed to rain for the next couple of days. Nick happens!
About 9:30 Nick brought over some of Miss Terry’s great blueberry muffins. Unlike this morning we’ll definitely be having muffins for breakfast tomorrow.
