First things first....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!
I hope you have a wonderful day!
The mechanics made short order of finishing up the work they had to do and we were on the road by 9:30. The good news? It cost us about $400 LESS than what we had planned on. Our service manager cut us a break on labor hours ($110 an hour!) because the mechanics had a problem getting our shocks off and had to take the time to modify their tool in order to do so which added to the time that they worked on our rig. Plus, even though the price of the seals we needed went up he charged us last years prices. Thank you Tony, we appreciate it! Our wallet also extends it thanks!
So we're hitting the road! Alaska, here we come. Now readers, don't excited. You won't be seeing pictures of the glaciers next week or anything. We're taking our time getting there! In fact we didn't even get out of Arizona today. We got as far as Quartzsite.
A going down the road picture.
The wind started really blowing the sand around. It was still clear right in front of us but we could see this in the distance.
We could see a clouds and rain up ahead. Rain would be welcomed, it would keep the dust down.
Here we are driving right along side of a sand storm.
Next thing we know we're in the middle of it. We had to pull over!
As soon as this passed over, and it didn't take long, the sky turned blue again in spots, the dust had settled and we could go on.
This is an aerial view of Quartzsite at the height of the winter season. Thousands, no make that over a million people come to this area for the warm weather, the friends and the famous rock and mineral show.
RV's, all kinds, all sizes, as far as you can see.
Quartzsite is commonly known as Q. "We're going to spend February in Q", she said. Of course when we got here the place was virtually empty. At the place we stayed there was only a very few park models occupied and one other 5th wheel. Restaurants were closed, corner stores closed for the summer season and lots of other local businesses boarded up till next fall when it will start all over again. When the "Q" once again becomes the place to be. We've heard time and time again that we have to "do" the Q at least once.
The worst part of our stay? No TV! NONE! Not one channel. Talk about out in the boonies. We just couldn't understand it but neither TV could pick up a channel. Thanks heavens we have movies with us!
Now to clean some more out of my Save for the Blog folder.
A first grade school teacher in Virginia had 25 students in her class. She presented each child in her classroom the first half of a well-known proverb and asked it to come up with the remainder of the proverb.
It's hard to believe these were actually done by first graders. Their insight may surprise you. While reading, keep in mind that these are first graders, 6-year-olds, because the last one is a classic!

And now....a doctor joke.
...the Doctor replied "Of course I won't laugh, I'm a professional.
In over twenty years I've never laughed at a patient."
"Okay then," Wayne said, and proceeded to drop his trousers, revealing the tiniest 'whoo-ha' the doctor had ever seen. It couldn't have been bigger than the size of a AAA battery. Unable to control himself, the doctor started giggling, then fell laughing to the floor. Ten minutes later he was able to struggle to his feet and gain his composure.
"I'm so sorry," said the doctor. "I really am. I don't know what came over me. On my honor as a doctor and a gentleman, I promise it won't happen again. Now, what seems to be the problem?"
"It's swollen," Wayne replied. (I hope this didn't offend anyone)
OK, you math and engineering people. Figure out how this is done.??? My mouse never did touch the number on the screen. The answer was still right every time. How in the world???????? Click on the link below! If anyone figures out how she does it, let me know!
