IYQ Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Been looking for a reason to chime in as part of the classless class. Tina and Jeff, we're at Buckhorn, too! We'll be on the lookout for y'all! Safe travels! Mary Do you need a reason???? I've never had a reason. Just chime in anyway. I took the LOW International President out to dinner at the Adobe Deli tonight. When I ask the server to bring the check, she motioned to another girl and she brought a long stem rose and some chocolate covered strawberries for the lady. I hope she dont think I arranged that. I might be in trouble.

IYQ Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Today I sat up my coleman camp stove outside and loose fried a bunch of ground turkey. I put half in the frig so it will be easy to add to veggies for meals. Thats the only way i can figure out to get pre-cooked meat that isn't loaded with salt. I froze the rest in single serving portions. While I had the stove set up, I cooked a bunch of onions and mushroons to make it easy to flavor stuff I fix in the microwave. That was the high point of my day.

Paul and I graduated from the same high school in Overland Park, Ks. but 4 yrs. a part and they lived in my old neighborhood in Lenexa, Ks. years after I left. Lots to talk about. Small world for sure. This Class-less Class is a friendly group and we are glad to be a part of it.

I may have said this before but Dave's Dad got bit big time by not eating enough salt so when people start sounding obsessive about low salt I get a bit worried. Linda I watch salt in most foods so I don't have to give up others that are naturally salty, like cheese. Today I made a bowl with canned beans. They are loaded with salt. So, I added a can of no salt diced tomatoes and some of the no salt turkey I fixed yesterday. Then added some no salt. Onions and mushroons with garlic powder. It was good and the over all salt content was moderate. I figure I get about 1500mg of salt a day. I had good intentions today but every thing I tried to do, I found I needed something from the store. It being Sunday I ended up doing nothing.

LFDR3116 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 I have relatives who live in Phoenix. Went to the Grand Canyon in mid may and another time in July. The weather was beautiful in July , wore light jackets when we were there in May. Went during the week, so wasn't that crowded either time, but more crowded in July than in May.

I'm asking for a retired friend, so travel is not restricted to any particular time frame. Joe Any time from June to September. The elevation of Grand Canyon City is up above 7000 feet. You can get snowed in there from Oct to late Apr. The one draw back is, It's crowed durning the summer months and you might spend most of the days trying to get into the park. They only allow so many in at a time. Winter time will usually get you in without a wait but when the canyon is all white it really isn't very pretty. I used to live in Flagstaff and Had the Janitor supply contract for Grand Canyon City and the School system. I went up twice a week summer and winter, weather permitting. That was before the long lines and restricted entry. Today I worked on the back of my truck a little. Then this evening we attended a free chicken dinner after listening to a pitch by MASA. The Air and Ground ambulance service for full RV'ers and others. It's more like an insurance thing. It looks pretty good but I still don't know if I want to get it. They don't pressure you they just have you listen to a 20 minute talk then give you an application to send in if you want to join. The chicken was good old Wal-Mart special.

I'm asking for a retired friend, so travel is not restricted to any particular time frame. Joe We have gone in summer and spring - best part about spring is fewer people. We like that they have closed off part of the road and you have to take shuttle buses to the over looks - you can hop off the bus and hike the rim to the next overlook (distance varies) It really gives you a chance to be alone ( well mostly) along the rim. Lastly - the North Rim is very different from the south rim - not as crowded - but is closed in Winter - usually mid May before it opens - also - not many places to stay so have to plan ahead to visit the north rim.

Shadowtracks Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Howdy! We're back in Benson, after being stuck in Nacogdoches (TX) for 3 months, getting the rig painted, adding stuff, fixing stuff. Great to be able to move again, though. we'll be here until at least Mar 15th, since we have annual doctor & dentist appointments in Tucson. Great to be back in dry country again. Nacogdoches was rainy a lot of the time.

steved44 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 We were there in January, no fighting crowds at that time. Only 3 other rigs in the campground. Carol took the mule ride to the bottom (scared her to death), but I couldn't go because of their weight limit of 200#. They told me I would have to "carry the mule". Hmmmmmm Cold, down to zero at night, but up in the 40's in the daytime. Used a heat tape on my water line, and everything else was ok. They didn't have the area for shuttle busses closed, so you could drive all the way along the rim and park where you wanted too. Everything else was open. That was the spring of 09, the year we first met with everyone at "Q", great memories...Steve Quote 2007 Tiffin Allegro Bus 42 QRP"BessyBus ll"ATT hot spotWinegard TravelerM&G Braking systemRoadmaster Sterling tow bar08 Dodge Dakota toadSea Eagle 10.6sr Inflatable 1957 Johnson 5.5SKP 98998 Class of "08" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IYQ Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Cloudy and windy today. I did a bit of work on my truck this morning though before the wind started blowing. By the time the winds came, I was beat so, I needed the down time anyway. The clouds are pretty thick. It's 2:30 PM and my batteries are still not up to full charge but very close. If it gets any darker I'll need a flash light to see if the sun is out. Good to see Shadowtracks post again. I think I'll loan him my rig so I can get it all spiffied up too. Come on Dave I need you to help control Steve or at least keep him awake.
