Bye Bye Sweet Bungie

Sweet Bungie

For at least the past two months Miss Bungee has been our constant road companion. We tried to replace her with the actual working travel locks for the wardrobe doors but every RV parts store I visited listened to my polite request only to reply “NADA! Go to Monaco.” I know back at Sicard’s they have lots of them just waiting for us to break another one. If Sicard’s stock them then so does someone else.
Wednesday on our way south to Amado we stopped at the new western Lazy Days in Tucson. He not only knew what I wanted, he had them. He has one less package now because I bought one.
Friday morning, on our down to one dog day, Mar and I did the repair. She is so damn cute in her designer coveralls with her leather tool belt some days I just break things on purpose. Oops, don’t read that last part. So now Miss Bungee goes back in the bungee box to await her next assignment and we are sooo happy to not have her staring back at us in our bed.

Buster Update

Buster came home at about 3:00 yesterday afternoon and is doing just fine. He had  one broken and 6 rotten teeth. He has a lot more room in his little mouth this morning.


Good news on Buster but basically no news on the bananas. They are still green, just like the beer we will all have on St Patty’s day.
Thanks for stopping by.

From Buster To Banannas

This morning we are back in gold Canyon sucking up the last couple of half price Passport nights in Canyon Vistas  for Buster’s dental appointment. He is now at the vet, waiting his turn on the table. I’m not sure who is going to hurt worse, Buster when they pull his tooth or me when I pay the six or seven hundred-dollar bill. Marilyn is a mess, Angel is all stressed out and won’t eat because she misses her buddy. All in all should just be a fun day.

Help with fruit and vegetables

I know you all depend on me for helpful hints and I really do try my best to help so how’s this one? We bought bananas at Costco about a week ago and they are still green. I googled ripening bananas last night and Dr. Google said “put them in a paper bag with an apple”. Well, OK then. If that’s what Google says it must be right so after I dropped Buster off at the vet I stepped in to the super market next door and bought a half-dozen apples. Nice shiny Red Delicious apples, um, um good. If one will work then 5 should be quicker, right. $2.52 for 5 apples. While there I also got a paper bag or paper sack as they say in these parts.

As we speak I am sitting patiently waiting for both my bananas to ripen and my dog to call for a ride home from the vet.

I think I’ll go polish my truck or something.

Good Friends


So yesterday afternoon we are in DeAnza RV Park, in Amado, just north of Nogales when four familiar RV’s pull in, just in time for happy hour.
Bob and Marjorie, Roger and Suzie, Don and Barb & Gord and Pat just rolled in from Mexico,
After three hard days on the road from Mazatlan they were all a little weary but happy to be back on more familiar soil. Sounds like everyone had a great winter on the beaches of Stone Island. It was a great party, good to see them all again.

Taking care of business


Earlier yesterday we are rolling down Arizona 87 and come upon a flag man and road construction. As we are waiting for the pilot car a truck towing a trailer with a “Johnny on the spot” shows up. The driver of the truck comes back to the flagman who hands off his stop sign. The original flagman hurries off to the toilet. He obviously had to sit down for this one, he was gone a long time. He returns, gets back his sign, the truck and potty head off down the road and traffic begins to move. We’re guessing they all lived happily ever after.
