FREEZING OUR BUTTS OFF............

in formerly warm and sunny Yuma!! Wow, it didn't even make it to 50 yesterday........at least I don't think it did. I even had to hunt up a jacket when we went out to dinner last night. Got electric heater running all night long..............my electric bill is going to be outrageous! If we can survive for another day the temps outta be back to the 70s on Saturday and Sunday and then continue next week in the low 70s. It's really been a rough 3 days for us in SW Arizona!

We managed to keep our geocaching find streak going..........even during the frigid weather........but, the nearby caches are running out and we have to expand our search. I'm about ready to call it quits; but, "B" wants to hang in there longer.

Celebrated JJ's BD last night at the Outback........today was his actual BD as he's turning the double nickel. After dinner we decided to hit the casino since it was so close. I quickly lost my allowance of $20.00 and decided that they couldn't do that to me so invested another 20 and lo and behold I cashed in a ticket for $192.00. Not a bad stop.

Got a call from my doc's office today..........had periodic blood work done on Wednesday and now I gotta get a fasting test tomorrow............this is the Doc who is going to "kick my ass" if I don't watch the diet. Looks like he might have to.

Other than trying to stay warm we haven't done much the last few days...........cleaned up the Rhino after Ocotillo trip and damn thing wouldn't start today after I cleaned up the air cleaner. I finally figured out it wasn't getting any fuel as the fuel filter was dry as a bone.........lucky for me they installed a clear fuel filter for me so I could see it was "dry". Old WD40 spray worked as a starting fluid so got it running again. Maybe time to put it on the market.

Well, hope the rest of the world stays warm. Later. W&B
