Tuesday

As it turns out, yesterday was a record high at 88F. Today, very nice I think 86 tying the record, but it is set to cool off by the end of the week and by that I mean 75F/24C, still very nice.
  Had the rv washed today.  I was waiting until the new window was installed and then the guy that does it is booked about a week in advance.  He is the same fellow we have had for about 4 years now and does very good work.  One of the issues here is the water leaving watermarks and he eliminates that by bringing his own treated water.  He also has a liquid wax in it and the unit fairly shines when he is done.  They also do the tires and wheel discs so they look like new.  They splashed the neighbours vehicle and washed that, then did our car as well.  He showed up with 2 other fellows, and sprayed the roof and awning tops.  After they washed the sides with soapy brushes, rinsed it off and then wiped it all down, including windows.  All of this for $75!  Marg gave them all a can of soda pop and a $5 tip each.  In the end we were happy and it was great value.  One of the issues that arises is that they do such a good job, there are always other people in the park asking to get their units done, this year there were 4 or 5 of them.
  Marg went to thrash and splash again this morning, you know already - water aerobics.  The weather was so nice they had a pool full of ladies flailing about.
  After the guys left, I washed the mat, the patio and the driveway off.  The place is spic & span now.
  We intended to go out and see if we could get some stuff sorted out, but Marg had visitors on the patio most of the afternoon.  With our site here at the entrance to the park we almost feel like the Walmart greeters and lots of people walking by or going for mail stop to chat.  It was a particularly chatty morning.  We never got away until after 3, so just went to the Superstition farmers market where we picked up some fresh vegetables & oranges.  This stuff down here is so good, so much better than what we get at home and reasonable.  How reasonable, well for example the cucumbers were 10 cents each and they are very large.  The oranges are nothing like the ones we get in GP, they actually taste like fresh fruit.
  We barely had time for that and it was happy hour.  This is pretty funny, but place we most often go is on Happy Hour lane and that is the road our park model is on.  Kind of suits us, it seems.  Marg was late getting there as she was preparing the fresh vegetables and potatoes for roasting with the marinated chicken so I could just pop in on the bbq when we got back. 
  Bingo tonight and there were 2 winners at our table, sadly neither of us, but one was one of the gamblin' gals.
 
  I took a picture of Almyra's century plant this evening.  It is getting ready to bloom, that's why the huge spear is growing out of it's center and should get much taller then will eventually have a flower.  This spire grew almost overnight.  Apparently this plant only blooms once and then dies.  Will keep an eye on it and photo it when that happens.
