DNS and Date Shakes . . .
After our coffee and muffins this morning, I got on the phone with my client, Network Solutions, and Godaddy. I was trying to transfer a domain name from Network Solutions over to my Godaddy account. As seems usual with NS, they keep screwing up this domain name, changing the DNS info back and forth, and shutting the website down. So I’ve submitted all the requests and now it’s just wait and see.
A little later Jan and I changed the sheets on our bed. We’ve had two sets of these 1500 thread count sheets for over a year now and we still think they’re great. They’re very soft, yet after a year’s use, there’s no wear or pilling seen.
1500 THREAD COUNT MILANI COLLECTION Striped QUEEN Sateen Sheet Set
They come in 6 or 7 different colors (we have the Burgandy and the Light Blue), and even better,they’re not expensive. Only around $25 a set. Check’em out.
About 2pm Jan and I headed out to meet Nick, Terry, and Nick’s cousin Bev at the local Fuddrucker’s for ‘linner’, or ‘lupper’, if you prefer. We really like Fuddrucker’s, but for some reason we don’t eat here a lot. It just never seems to come up when we’re talking about where to eat.
But as usual, it was really good. While Jan had a Cheddar Mushroom Burger, I had the Ribeye Steak Sandwich, one of my favorites. Unfortunately, not too many places have one like this. There was a place in Cottonwood AZ, that used to have one, but Nick says they don’t offer it any more. Bummer. I was looking forward to having one in a few weeks.
After the meal, we split up for a while, with Jan and I getting gas for the truck for our road trip tomorrow, while Nick and Terry took Bev to get some groceries. Then meeting up back at Bev’s, I spent some time ‘degunking’ Bev’s laptop, using CCleaner and Glary Utilities. Then I updated her Super AntiSpyWare and Malware Bytes, and ran scans with both, as well as AVG. No problems found, and her machine runs much faster now.
Tomorrow Jan and I are taking a day trip over to Yuma to have lunch with Chris and Charles Yust, and visit the big flea market. Along the way we’ll stop off in Gila Bend so I can renew my Elk’s Lodge membership there.
Oh, and Jan also wants to stop at Dateland for one of their delicious Date Milk Shakes. Sounds good to me.

Moving on . . .
About 7 miles down the road.
While I slept in a little, Jan headed out to catch the movie about the life of Kay Peterson and her husband who founded the Escapees RV organization in 1978. Then after coming back to the rig for coffee, she headed back out again for the Escapees Pet Parade, and then the Chili Cook-off.
She later said there were some really good chili’s and some really bad ones. And some she didn’t dare try at all. But they did raise about $11,000 for CARE (Continuing Assistance for Retired Escapees), the Escapees adult day care program.
While Jan was out gallivanting around, I was getting us ready to roll. Around 3, we’re going to move about 7 miles west over to the Voyager RV Resort for the next week, before heading up to Apache Junction.
We pulled out about 2:30, and looking back as we got on I-10W, we saw Nick and Terry right behind us. Ten minutes later we were pulling up to the guard house at Voyager and getting checked in.. Although we couldn’t get parked next door to each other, we’re only 5 spaces apart, so it works.
After getting parked and plugged in, the first thing Jan did after turning on the AC (for the first time in a week since we’ve been on 30amps) was to started doing a week’s worth of catch-up laundry.
About 4 Nick and Terry picked us up to head out for dinner at Poco & Mom’s, where Jan and I just ate a couple of nights ago. But it was good enough (great enough?) to go back again. Even better our mutual friends, Tom and Barb Westerfield, were meeting us there.
We’ve known them for years, but tonight was the first time we’ve had a chance to get together at this rally.
Jan and I both had the same Combo Plate, and we both agreed that, if anything, it was better tonight than last time. And it was great last time.
Luckily, by getting there at 4:30, we got a table for 6 right away, because about 30 minutes later the place began to fill up. And as usual when RV’ers get together, we spent longer at the table just talking afterwards than we did eating to start with.
It was really good to see Tom and Barb again. Hopefully it won’t be so long next time.
