Nothing so far . . .
No mousies were found in any of my traps this morning, so maybe I’ve finally thinned out the herd.
About 11am, the park host lady showed up with a Priority Mail package from our daughter Brandi. Really glad it came before we have to leave on Sunday. The box contained our mail, and at the bottom, a nice surprise – a couple of boxes of Girl Scout Thin Mints Cookies. Hmmm!
Later Jan fixed us a great lunch of cheddar cheese and bacon quesadillas, using the Oscar Meyer Pre-Cooked Bacon. Really good.
And of course, a few Thin Mints for dessert.
A little after 1pm, Tom and Barb Westerfield pulled out of the fairgrounds, headed for Las Cruces for a few days. We’ll be there on Sunday too, so maybe we’ll be able to get together for dinner.
After Tom and Barb left, I worked outside for a while around the rig. I cleaned the rig windshield and then adjusted the new wipers I installed recently, so they’ll track better. Then I caulked around the bottom of a couple of windows to see if I can eliminated the stains that come down from there.
Lastly I tidied up a couple of bays and washed them out. That was about it because it was pretty hot out in that sun.
After a short nap to rest up, and since Terry was still feeling under the weather, Jan and I headed out a little after 5pm for dinner and some shopping by ourselves.
Jan had been wanting to eat at Red Robin for a while, so we first headed up just north of downtown to the Tucson Mall area. Red Robin is another of our favorite burger chains, and their burgers come with all-you-can-eat steak fries as well.
Jan always gets the Mushroom Cheese, and I usually go for the Burn’in Love Burger with jalapenos and chipotle mayo.
Leaving Red Robin, we stopped off at the Sam’s Club a couple of miles away for kitty litter and a few other things before getting back home about 8pm.
Nick came over a little later and said that Terry was feeling a little better, so hopefully she’s on the mend.
Tomorrow’s our last full day here in Tucson, and our last time to see Nick and Terry for a while, probably until late August in Celina, OH for the Eastern Gypsy Journal Rally that starts Sept. 3rd.

Two More Down . . .
+ one.
When I got up about 10 this morning I found two more mice in my traps. But they’re getting smaller, so maybe I’m working my way thru the herd.
About 10:30 our friend (and GMAC Insurance Agent) called with a computer problem. This was the first day of the big Good Sam RV Rally up in Phoenix and she was having a problem with printing from their 2nd computer. Luckily I was able to get her problem fixed over the phone and get her going again.
With Miss Terry still under the weather, Nick and I headed out a little after 1pm to get gas, make an Ace Hardware run, and then a stop at Fry’s Market for some groceries, and some Mega-Millions lottery tickets for tomorrow night’s $290 million dollar drawing. (crossing my fingers . . . and toes, and eyes . . . and . . . )
Getting back to the rig, I decided to take a nap before we headed out for supper.
We picked up our friend’s Al & Adrienne at their home in Voyager RV Resort and headed over to the Silver Saddle Steakhouse for dinner. This will be our last get-together for a while until maybe later this year.
Silver Saddle has been voted the Best Steakhouse in Tucson a number of times, and after eating there again, it’s easy to see why.
You can watch your steak being flame broiled over the open-pit mesquite grill that sits off to the side of the dining room. The steaks come out perfectly done, with that slightly-burnt crispy edge that meat get when its cooked over an open fire. Really, really good.
We’ve known Al and Adrienne since we met in Fairbanks, AK in 2008, and have been good friends ever since.
When we got back to the rig, we found an email from our daughter Brandi showing our grandson Landon helping daddy mow the grass. Very cute.
When I checked my mouse trapline about 9pm I found a third mouse in my traps. I can’t believe all these have been living in our rig. I’m beginning to wonder if maybe they’re coming in from the outside.
I think I’ll put a trap out in our water bay tonight, since it’s the only place they could be getting in the rig.
We’ll see.
