Another Old Folks Day.............

at the casino so we went out long enough to collect our $5.00. I eventually quit $13.20 ahead. Stopped by the Marine Corps Base for some grocery goodies and now home for the rest of the day. Wind picked up last night and continued through most of the day so there wasn't much we needed to get done anyway. Temps still in the 70s though. Yesterday was our "wash day" so we've been close to home for two days. Did stop by yesterday to see if Frank is doing OK (he has the Yuma Crud again). He's alive and kicking but his tail feathers are still drooping. Probably too much party time in Mexico......those young Senoritas will make you old before your time!

Everytime we head to the Cocopah Casino we're going too fast to stop and take pictures of this hedge. Today was the day......we finally made the stop and Becky took these pictures. Betcha you don't see many hedges of this nature!

We finally got a firm "leave Yuma date". We'll be departing on March 24 and will stop in Port Hueneme to visit one of Becky's Old Buds. She lives near the base so we have reservations at the base RV park for three days and will visit and explore the area. Leave there on the 27th and should arrive in Woodland on the following Saturday.

Need to replace a tire on the trailer, ran it down here without enough air in the tires so outter edges worn down. Do you think I can find this odd ball size trailer tire in this area? NO! May have to order it; but, still got plenty of time to have it ready to roll. Damn trailer tire costs about as much as a car tire that's twice the size. Getting M/H washed and waxed tomorrow so will have another day close to home. Labor is still pretty cheap......$125.00 to wash and wax M/H. Other places at least twice as much so now is time to get it done.

Later. W&B
