New Transfer Switch

Monday, January 22, 2018

Last October we had a scary situation in the RV.  After smelling a burning, Bruce determined that our transfer switch was burning.  This switch brings power into the RV and switches between shore power and generator power.  Needless to say, it could have been a real disaster.  We had to cease using anything that would draw a lot of power like the air conditioners.  Fortunately for us, we were only days from being home and the weather had turned cool.  Bruce ordered a new switch and today was the first opportunity for him to replace it.  It is located under the bedroom closed behind the hot water heater and electrical panel.  This closet is at the foot of the bed so he had about two feet of floor space to work in.  Even after taking the floor out of the closet it was almost impossible to get into this space.  After contorting himself and me trying to add a third hand at times he succeeded to get the job done.

Must have been a cold night.

With the Girls in Las Vegas

Tuesday January 16 - Saturday January 20, 2018

Yeah, our annual trip to Las Vegas with Mary, Carol, and Pat.   Stayed at Circus Circus as usual but we spent a lot of time off the strip at some casinos in Red Rock, Laughlin, and Henderson.  Guess I was too relaxed to remember to take pictures.   The only ones were on the drive to Laughlin.

Solar Farm as far as you could see.

Tonight we lost Bruce's Mom at the age of 96.  We can only hope to have a fraction of the full life she had.  RIP Mom.

A New Year

New Year's Day is always a special day for me (and millions of others).  I appreciate having such a strong starting point to get healthy, skinny, more active, caught up on all those things that didn't get done last year, etc.

We spent a nice New Year's Eve with our friends Terry and Camille Butler and others but after a nice breakfast at the Hotel, we headed for a quiet day at home.  All the better to start planning 2018.
