Almost Ready To Head South..........

.....about 99% loaded so just gotta throw in the last minute stuff and we pull outta here tomorrow. Won't get very far the next two days.........98 miles to Woodland. Becky and Rhonda have scheduled Thursday as a Mother/Daughter Day.........the last one cost me some $$$s; but, they are on their own for this one. I'll probably head out to the Cache Creek Casino for awhile and lose all my gas money. Lucky plastic is still working so we should make it to Yuma by Nov 1.

Stops at Lost Hills, Barstow and probably 2 days in Laughlin. Taking I-5 South and then crossing over and heading East at Bakerfield so we'll miss Reno and Las Vegas. Doesn't break my heart at all!

That's about it.........will let all know when/if we arrive in Yuma. Later. W&B

Haven't Stopped Blogging.............There Ain't

nuttin going on around here. The weather has cooled down and is downright pleasant! If it stayed this way the year around we wouldn't have to leave.

FINALLY all the parts to fix the M/H jack have come in so the rig is in the shop right now. Expect it back this week and then we can start making plans to head South. Right now it looks like we'll leave toward the latter part of this month and drive directly to Yuma.........maybe 2 days in Laughlin........anyway plan to be in Yuma on November 1.

Beagle39, Wayne and Phyllis, stopped by on their way South and we had breakfast with them at the casino buffet and then they were on their way to Fresno. They should make it to Yuma a few days before we get there.

Sold my Honda (or did I already report that).........anyways it's gone. Will look for another second car (one with A/C) when we get back from Yuma. Too bad RZR not street legal in CA............this liberal assed state lets everything else pass through the cracks........but they won't recognize the fact that I'm licensed and insured for street driving elsewhere. Go figure.

Been keeping my Red Brothers happy at the casino.........they'll miss me when I'm gone. Win and bit and lose a bit; but, in the overall scheme of things they are ahead of me.

Well.............more later, probably much later. W&B

Heat's Gone........Now Freezing...........

our buns off! Well, not quite; but, it's been dipping into the 50s the last few days and even had a few sprinkles this morning.

Still waiting for new M/H jack from Winnebago.........called the shop and they don't know nothing except it "should be here shortly". Yeah right. It's not critical since I generally just use the front jacks to level things up.........depends on how one parks.

Got two more dental appointments to take care of.........Becky done with doctor visits so we're getting closer to heading South. Right now I think "leave date" will be around the week of the 24th..........unless temps drop in Yuma before then. Gotta start rounding up goodies that we'll take with us..........fortunately I can put a bunch of stuff on the trailer with the RZR; but, still gotta put it together in one pile for loading. That outta keep me busy for the next couple of weeks.

Think we're going to Woodland next weekend for the Twerp's BD and probably for the other Twerp's football game. Cassidy has BD too in a couple of weeks............have to remember to send her a dollar. That's about it for us. W&B
