Still hot. But yesterday it only got up to 113 degrees. Guess what one does here? It's stay inside. I actually did my walk in two places yesterday.....a casino, which I hated. It is so depressing to see those folks losing money, most of whom can't afford to. The other part of my walk was in a WalMart. Equally depressing.....but I needed both some groceries and some supplies for the motorhome, and I knew that they would carry both.
My fun for the day: 1) My 6-week old Kindle broke down. But I got a new one shipped to me overnight to my next stop, which is Flagstaff. I called them to alert them to this shipment and to hold it for my arrival. Not to fault Kindle/Amazon, but I think it was a fluke that it got stuck on a half page/blurry, and wouldn't even turn off.
2) My front air conditioner conked out. At 113 degrees and counting. Not a good time. But fortunately a good repair service could come out quickly and the repairs were covered by my warranty. But still a service call charge and a small deductible, but at least the rest was covered. They never cover labor, only parts. The repair guy said that the heat did not cause the stoppage but rather a loose wire did. He had to replace a whole section of an electrical connection as the loose wire burned out a group of the connections. TMI??? I'm cool now....both temp-wise and mentally (with that issue, at least!)
I'll hang out another day here and then go to Flagstaff tomorrow. A long time friend from New York days and Phoenix days will join me for two days, and then another rally group arrives. This one from an Arizona chapter.....which includes other friends of mine from Phoenix and Flagstaff and Gold Canyon. So looking forward to that.
Till next time. Think I'll go back to cool WalMart's now. :)

Yo Normster, I'm enjoying following your blog and living vicariously here in Baja Mission Hills. The excitement here is that I'm about to take a nap! I'm already missing our Huddles! Maury
ReplyDeletePostscript: I never in the world thought I'd see or here about you venturing into a WALMART! :-)
ReplyDeleteOops....that's "hear" rather than "here!" Lordy.
ReplyDeleteHi Norm, It sounds like you are in the wrong place at the wrong time. Run, Norm, run... Take care and enjoy the cool air of Flagstaff.
