Planning a trip

We plan to wander over to the Avintaquin Mountain range for the 2-4 July, holiday weekend.  I am not sure what the Ortho doctor will do or plan for my leg so we figured it will be a last hurrah until I see what they are going to do.  Just in case they plan something this month that might ruin my camping and traveling plans for this summer.

Sunday Walk

Got out and took pics of cactus flowers and some thistle.

Notice the butterfly and the bee approaching the flower

GOOD MORNING AMERICA

Its a new day in paradise and a time to start a new.   Its the first day of the rest of my life.  I shall try to live each and every day as if there is no tomorrow.

Sad Day

Today I will attend the viewing of my cousin Bill.  It hurts to think we have lost this fine man who never hurt anyone in his whole life.  I guess the big boss needed back home more than we needed him here. 
I am also going on my second day without one of my meds that I cannot seem to get my doctors to refill due to lack of communication on their end and I an not going to make a special trip to get them refilled I will just go off this med and not worry about it.  If they felt I needed it more they would communicate with me.

Fire in the Mountains

The local forest service in its infinite wisdom has set fire to the mountains both east and west of us to burn off all the dead stuff.  I find that to be a wise move especially after what happened at Yellowstone a few years back.  Seen tons of smoke from the western burn started four of five days ago, but have seen very little from this eastern burn started yesterday.

A New Day in Paradise

Aw yes its a new day here and its going to be a new lifestyle.  I swore that as of today I am going to do anything and everything I can to loose 50 lbs in the next 6 months.  I know its possible because I did it a year and a half ago but than put it all back on again.  I am going to do anything and everything I can to prevent that from happening again.

Happy Fathers Day

Its a new day and a Happy Fathers Day to all those out there whom have spread their genes and are now Fathers.

The World is a Sadder Place

With the passage of my cousin Bill, Thursday night, it has become a sadder world for me.  I am sure in a few days I will be feeling better for we all must pass sometime.  I try to celebrate death more than morn for one has gone to a far better place than the one we presently live in.  But at first it is hard until one can think about the good times one had as compared to the sad or bad times.

The Doctor Appt are Made

Well I have heard from Dermatology and Ortho and have three appts in July at the VA hospital, the scheduled all three for three days in a row, so we will more than likely take our rv to the hospital and stay there for all three days.  I will let all know whats going on once I see them.

Rains and Winds from Hell

We had the winds and rains from hell yesterday.  I swear we were going to blow away.  It got so bad I had to bring our plants into the house and put our satellite dish down and hang on as the rv rocked back and forth.

Seeking Information

Well the doctor sent me a letter saying I have Interval Progression Osteoarthritis and she is sending it to Ortho for a consult.  No wonder my hip has been killing me and I keep hearing popping noises from my hip.
So gonna look more into that and see what I will be facing with a hip replacement.
Also going to look into two things for the RV and on for my kitchen.  I want to see about a macerator and a tire air pressure monitor system.
And for the kitchen I am thinking of getting a seal a meal device.  I am sick of my freezer foods getting freezer burns.

Hot Time in the Summer Sun

It's a hot day today with a few scattered clouds.  So I went out and put the awning out some and I installed a new tire valve extension so I can check air pressures on my rv rear duel tires.  Not always a fun task but a necessary one.

Dogs Day

Took the dog to the groomers today and had her shaved for the summer heat.  Been trying to get a picture of her but I will be danged if she will stand still or come out from hiding.  I will never figure out why she is afraid of cameras unless she is just copying the wife whom hates to have her picture taken as well. 

Oops

  I think I must have forgot I had this page.  So I will give ya almost a week of updates.

  I went to the doctors last Wed and Thurs, and that is usually an all day thing due to the 200+ miles I have to drive round trip.  The results was they think I have psoriasis of the feet.  Also they took xrays on the belief I may need a new hip on the right side and I told them if that is so lets do it.  I can't stand the pain.  And I can't do anything to get rid of my weight due to lack of exercise. 

  I also made a trip into Salt Lake City twice to see my daughter whom is here from Alaska for a couple of weeks.   

  I guess other than that I have just been hanging around the rv takin pictures of the birds and catching up on my reading.  Can't afford to do much else right now.  I am waiting on phone calls from the doctors to tell me whats gonna happen.  I now know I have two appts next month one with a dermatologist to look at my feet.  The other to screw my brain back on and see if I can stay a human for another year.  LOL

Sunshine and Dirt Devils

Its a beautiful sunny day with the exception of the windy dirt devils.   We have had several wander thru and cause a bit of havoc and covering films of dirt.  I guess that's the breaks for having a inexpensive park to stay in we have to deal with the dust, dirt, pollen, and insects.  It can be a pain to say the least.

Our RV

I always try to take pics at each site we stay at so this will be where I will post those type pics.

 

East Carbon, Utah June 2010

Hot Sunday

Oh my we woke up to 74 in the house 68 outside.  Supposed to get up to 90 today.   Very little breeze today so far.  Did see a small sparrow this morning feeding on the bird seed we threw out.  Strange that the power lines here had a bunch of cowbirds on them and yet they did not drop down to eat like they were doing last week.  My neighbor has a bird house on a tree and it has baby blue birds in it so I took picture of them with her camera yesterday.  I might try to get my own pics today with my camera.

Another Day

I must lead a boring life.  I am finding it hard to say anything short of the weather.  Seems most all the birds have flown the coop, have not seen any in days.  Have seen no wildlife lately where as a week or so ago we were seeing rabbits, birds, and deer almost daily.  Its nice and warm out now but doesn't matter, we have no where to go, nor the money to get there if we did have.


 

Nice Days In Paradise

   We had a beautiful day yesterday and looks like another nice day today.
   We put the awning out yesterday and a new bird feeder.  Unfortunately we have not seen a bird in three days.  And before that we had them around the rv all day and in the dozens.  
   Don't have much in the way of plans for today.  I am going to try a new chicken recipe.  I hope it turns out good.
   I'm watching the cactus plants around here, they should start blooming with flowers soon and they have some of the nicest looking flowers I have ever seen. 
   I went into town Wednesday and got my hair cut to the skin than came home and shaved off most of my beard so now I have a goatee and mustache.

   I think I would make a great biker with that look.  LOL   Pics with and without glasses.

Raining

Well its raining, two different weather sites say no rain.  Go figure.   Woke up to 54 degrees outside and 68 inside so it should be a nice day with or without the rain.  Have no plans yet for today.  We shall play it by ear.

A New Month

 Well its the first of June and looks like its going to be a bit nasty.  We are getting some weak rain with cloudy skys.  I have just finished posting the pics of the flowers we photographed while wandering the country side Sunday.  Spent most of the day yesterday trying to identify what the flowers were.  Not always an easy task. I have a couple of flowers I could not identify so they were not put in here until I can figure out what they are.
