Yup, everything is quiet here in tornado country.  Nice day, for this part of the country 65 and partly cloudy.  Now for the "partly cloudy" part.  I found out I have to get an arm fixed.  Seems that I tore a ligament in my right shoulder and have to get it repaired.  The MRI gave us the results and now they will saw the arm off on June first!  Aarrgghhh!  At least we know now why it wouldn't heal!  The other cloud is the differential on the truck.  Seems that one of the carrier bearings went bad, so they had to rebuild the dif.  I guess 118,000 driven miles and about 40,000 towed miles did it in.  At least it went bad here and not while it was being towed.  They just called and said it was ready so I can take the rental car back.  Keep me out of trouble for a while.   Steve 

Hope that is not your whisky drinking arm!!!!

How long is everyone hanging around Quartsite? We won't be there until the 23rd. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

 

We have to be back in Tucson for Doctor appointments on 24th but I think others will still be there. Sorry we will ,miss you, how long will you be in Q?

Looks like the wagons are beginning to circle...we will arrive in Q on Sunday or Monday...depending on the rain.

Look forward to seeing everyone

Yippee! this Thanksgiving we are happy all our repairs / upgrades are done and we can roll out of Indiana!!! heading south -our T day will be turkey sandwiches at a reststop in Missouri or Oklahoma. Heading to Tucson !!!

Iam still here. It's been two weeks since the new hip, I am still on a walker but getting better every day. Delcie is taking good care of me, she has me spoiled. Don't know when we will get to scratch the hitch itch, Thinking mid Dec. Havent been on the internet since the sugery, hope I haven't missed much.

 

LIFE IS GOOD!!!!

 

Freddy and Delcie

Great to see you posting! look forward to seeing you and Delcie in person once you can scratch that itch!

 

1. I have the hitch itch! It will have to wait a while, I am getting a hip replacement Monday if all goes well. I fell sorry for Delcie for having to put up with me till I recover. It seems that all we have done since closing the campground in early Sept. is Dr. appt. and we have not been sick. Looking forward to getting back on the road. Hoping to see everyone in the Spring.

FYI to all here on the forum but not on face book - Freddy's daughter posted that the surgery went well and that he will likely go home in a couple of days.

We will have you both in our thoughts and prayers - where are you going to be for the surgery??? Amarillo? Mike says he knows Delcie will be a great nurse and will kick your butt to the do the Physical Therapy!

Lee inspired us to keep on with adventures in our lives. We will miss you IYQ!

Very sad to hear about Lee, we agree with everyone's comments. Thanks for keeping us in the loop on this our prayers that he is comfortable and so glad he has family with him.

Hello everyone. This is from Lee. I am in Chapin,SC. I am at my great great niece's house. I will be moving into an assisted living facility here. I will let you know where I am as soon as I get settled.

 

Lee

Glad to know you arrived and look forward to hearing further on your new digs. -

We are in Buffalo WY until end of July - then onto Colorado, - then Iceland, Sweden, Norway, Scotland and Ireland!! a vacation from our RV lifestyle and a celebration of my sisters 75th birthday, plus our 40th anniversary year - any excuse will do. LOL

might have to break down and start a blog just for that trip.

Lee,

Sorry to hear you are having to head East - know it was a tough call but the correct calls not always easy. We look forward to hearing about chasing those nurses soon.

Lee, we wish you a speedy recovery. Remember nurses are just cowgirls in a different uniforms.

We are at Rovers Roost at .Casa Grande. We spent five weeks at Pilot Knob, enjoyed it except for the heat, it was in the 90's several days, a little uncomfortable boondocking. When we pulled in here found that we had thrown a tread off a trailer tire, glad we made it to the park instead of on the side of the road. Hope everyone is having fun!

LIFE IS GOOD!!!

Freddy and Delcie

Yikes..you are lucky you made it..we have done the blown tire side of the road routine more than once.

Glad you are safe. How long you staying in Casa Grande?

Linda and Ed, We too are do sorry to heat your news. Amazing how quickly a careless driver can change our lives.

The Q rally group has been busy..campfires with snack food, a group trip to silly Al's, and tonight a great spaghetti feast. Thanks Steve and Carol.

Fun fire chats with great jokes and a few tall tales!

Rv tent opened today ..so of course a little shopping.

Tom demonstrated his new wind break system which is great. Only took us 3 trips into town for parts and now we have one too!

We will be arriving on Wed.13th and have to be in Tucson on the 19th.
Look forward to seeing as many people as can make it..
Like Sue said...first to arrive find an awesome site lol..any site we gather at is awesome.
I think the plan (do any of us really use that word?) Is Plamosa road correct?

Rumor says quesadillas night is likely Friday.

 

I was not sure you would make Q this year !

We should get to Q the 14th. Looking forward to seeing everyone.LIFE IS GOOD!!!!Freddy and Delcie

Looks like a good part of our group prefers later part of rally week. Which we totally get.

So just like last year we will have some who arrive early and other who arrive later. Perhaps the 17 and 18th will be when there will be the greatest over lap of both.

Just to let you know we won't be at Quartsite in Jan. Would love to try out our new solar but maybe next year.

 

You will be missed...enjoyed your recent blog post

Would appreciate if those who plan to attend Q rally would chime in - that we know how many limes to buy (well the rest of the stuff too)

I will have to say the Margaritas and quesadillas were great the first event. A great time was had by all but may not remembered by all. I think Mike's hat got kinda twisted around but he didn't care. Janice and I will not make it this year but everyone have fun and stay safe. Hanging around sunny Florida this year.

I am sure we will have another next year too - wait this one is set for next year! easy to get twisted around!! we will miss all you Florida and Texas class members.

I got the two rigs swapped today so I'm all ready to take the Trailer to Jimmy's RV Repair in the morning so I'm pretty much on schedule. I about had a frosted tush out there this morning hooking up the trailer to move it to the other site. The real test of my fortitude will come Tuesday morning when I head West. The forecast is for 18° and high winds but it improves as you go west. So If the divide just east of Lordsburg is clear and Texas canyon isn't icy I should be ok.

Julie: Does that 13th to 18th mean will start on the 13th and break up on the 18th or simply mean we will start some where between the 13th and 18th?

Rally will start the 13th ..I know some may want to extend or shorten their stay.

Hi all

We had a group at Silly Al's for lunch today. So if your ears are burning that is why. 8 of us sat and talked for close to 4 hours. The group included Paul and Sue, Brad and Marilyn, Tom and Dianne

We all decided we should post again about rally in January.

Plan is to get a spot on plomosa rd Wed 13th to Monday 18th. At some point during that time there will be the 3rd annual Margarita quesadillas night.

Hope to see many of you at the rally.

We owned lots of rain gear when we lived in Florida, nice and dry here in the desert..but el Nino could still kick in

Well let's see if we can "entice" you with a lil ole Marguerita then.

 

Joe

That looks wonderful. ..hey does Carol want to have her other knee done?
