Fuel for Everyone

 It's hard getting up when it's cold.  Not that cold because as you know, I have a parrot that requires lots of warm.  Cooper didn't exactly want to get up either.  Snug as a bug in a rug.

After a nice breakfast of ham and eggs ... least that's what Cooper got ... we headed out.  Little did I know just how far he planned to take me.  Round and round the park we walked for four miles.  This is a nice little dog park, but I never saw anyone use it, including me.  You never know if everyone has their dogs vaccinated or not.  They are open here year round.  I stayed once a few years ago mid summer.  I'm sure I used more electricity than I paid for the overnighter.

I decided I was going to rest the entire day after that marathon walk, since I was headed to Yuma today.  The jello jiggled and plans changed when I checked the weather.  Yikes ... 20-25 mph winds along the entire route with 45 mph gusts.  It was a lose-lose proposition.  It's 4:30 am and the wind is already banging things about.  I'm staying put until the weather gets better.

So ... let's watch some TV.  If only ..... yes I laughed too.  I'm watching it through my slide out window.  It's a huge TV, but most of the time I have to guess what's going on.

I could have done a lot of things, but just going for fuel for the truck was enough exercise after that long walk.  I passed this thing along the way.  I've no idea what it is.  Indio does have its weird side.  I found a Circle K way on the other side of the freeway with a diesel price of $4.59 a gallon.  Everyone else was $5.65.  You GO Circle K!!!  

Since everyone else got their full meal for the day, I decided I would get some takeout.  It was no choice when all I saw was Taco Bell, McDonalds and Panda Express.  For $10.00 I brought home dinner for four days.  It's probably not good for you, but I love this stuff!!!  It can't be ALL bad ... it's got broccoli!!

Two more one mile walks and I was feeling pretty beat up.  I can't believe this kid can out walk me at his age.  Yeah, two seconds after this picture, he was sound asleep.  

I spent some time doing RV rally work ... sending out notices of where to meet, along with the all important stuff ... dues to be paid.  I'm beginning to think that being Treasurer is much more work than being President.  One meetup is already going on in Blythe.  Not sure I have time to make that one today.

That's it ... that's all we did all day long.  I did discover if you want to stay at this park, it runs $500 a month.  Not bad at all considering all the electricity you use to either keep warm or keep cool.  I may just have to come back for a longer stay.

As of right now, it's 55 degrees, rain is coming in about 45 minutes and the wind is up to 20 mph.  Yup it's going to be a different kind of day!
