Why, Arizona and Eric’s 65th

Tuesday Nov. 22, 2011

Sunday was another day to ….you guessed it, finish off more shopping.  It was a success as I found some walking sandals and I actually found Eric another pair of shorts!  They are Columbia and EXACTLY the same as his other ones so he is a happy camper.  He would have gone for some in another colour but they only had ones the same colour as his old ones so everyone will still think he only has one pair.  I just love the way men like to have new and different clothes….not!!!

Bill & Arlie (son-in-law) Wade’s Dad and step mom invited us for dinner last night and it was really nice.  We had a nice dinner with them and Arlie’s sister Karen and husband Bob from (somewhere close to Toronto, Ont.)  Karen and Bob have just bought a house across the street from Bill and Arlie so they are all hanging out together.  Nice for Arlie to spend the winter with her Sis. 

Earlier in the day I’d done the washing and cleaned up and Eric had put away everything we still needed in preparation for our move! He thought it would take awhile to load the motorcycle so he tried to get a jump on things. Didn’t work. Last night when we got home after dinner I crawled into bed with my remotes and headset, put on my headset, clicked the clicker and nothing happened I looked up and ….no T.V., Eric had put it away!! He had to bring it out and hook it up again. Too funny.

A relaxing drive down to Why, Arizona (about 150 miles) and we are set up by 2:30 p.m.  Eric has the satellite T.V. set up and the internet is working so all we need now is a cold beer!!

Lunch stop north of Ajo.

It is lonely, flat country. 

We will head into Mexico on Thursday  (American Thanksgiving) and spend a few nights on the way to Mazatlan. 

P.S.

I have just hooked our new Yagi antenna up to my computer and it is working good even though the Yagi is just lying on the couch.  We bought one over the internet from Innovativedevice in Quebec.  A guy from Vernon had one in the park last year in Mazatlan and he gave us the link to their website.  It has the wireless card attached to the antenna so it is a USB connection not coax and there is no loss in the cable.  It took a bit to get it took work with Windows7 but I got it done.  Works great.  When it is mounted to the slide with Eric’s 1 inch EMT pole it will probably work better because we can rotate it and it will be above the roof line.  Eric has been looking for 1 inch muffler clamps to complete the installation but so far he only has one.  P1010767 P1010768

Another purchase to make things better on the road.
