Crusty’s and Cradlepoint . . .

With another cold, rainy day on tap, it was perfect for just staying home, bundled up with the heater going all day. Nice, but still putting a crimp in the outside stuff I want to work on.

I spent a good bit of time working on the new website that I hope to take live in a few weeks. I’ll be telling you more about it as the time gets closer.

I do have a couple of things here in the coach to work on. I want to mount a 12v socket inside one of the kitchen cabinets to connect a small inverter to run our Amazon Echo for music while we’re on the road, and another at my computer desk for power my Cradlepoint Router/AirCard combo, also while we’re on the road.

Our last day at the Verde Valley Thousand Trails this past July we had dinner at Crusty’s Pizza down in Camp Verde. While we had pizza, we also got a couple of their Baked Spaghetti Dinners to go.

The dinners also came with salads, which we had with our pizza, since those don’t store, but back as the rig we divided the dinners in half, and then we vacuum-sealed and froze them for later.

And for tonight’s dinner, it was now a ‘later’. The nice thing about these dinners that even cut in half, it’s enough for both of us, especially when paired with cheese sticks and hot garlic bread. And since it’s been vacuum-sealed, it was just like it came from Crusty’s yesterday.

Tomorrow we’re probably going to drive down to The Woodlands to see “The Martian” movie, and have supper at the Grimaldi’s Pizzeria there. On the way I plan on dropping off the defective transfer switch at the UPS store to be returned to the manufacturer.

For some reason after about six months my first one would only transfer to t he rig’s generator if we were still hooked up to shore power. Not real useful in most cases. I installed the replacement while we were on the gate, and it worked perfectly, so now the bad one needs to go back to Michigan.

Yesterday I showed Landon working on his Gingerbread Farm House at his grandparents up in Oklahoma.

And now here’s the finished version.

Looks like he did a good job too.

Finally, don’t forget about Landon’s Kindergarten Class Gingerbread Man project. A number of you have already sent in postcards and we greatly appreciate it.

To recap, Landon’s class needs picture postcards from around the country mailed to his class describing sightings of the missing Gingerbread Man. You can just say something like, “We saw the missing Gingerbread Man here at Mt. Rushmore.”

You can mail them to:

Traci Blocker
Keiko Davidson Elementary
26906 Pine Mill Ranch Drive
Katy, Texas 77494

Thanks for your help.

Scientists say that infants are already as intelligent as they’re ever going to be. The CPU and RAM are already there; they lack only data on their hard drives.
