rmcf308 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 It seems warmer here too than Casa Grande. However, we'll have to see what the morning brings. I usually froze the most when I walked Duchess then. We moved today. It sure lifts the spirits to be in a new location even if it's an old location! I get in a rut staying in one place too long! We'll probably head to "Q" between the 10th and 15th too. We want to spend a little time with Terry's mom and do a few other things before we head that way. yYou think your in a rut, a year in one place is wayyyyyyy to long!!!! My rut has turned into a ditch....have fun! Janice Quote http://www.toadswildadventures.blogspot.com/ Just travelin' down life's highway-toot-toot!

steved44 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Snow! that's a four letter word for sure!! Raining here in Mexico Beach today and the temp is probably about 55 or so. We had a nice time catching up with Mary Jane Finley. She used to stay here a lot while Lee was doing contract work at Tindall AFB, and had many friends in the area. She introduced us to many of them who are living in the same RV park we are parked in. She seems to be doing well and keeping busy with her kids in Dallas. It was good to see her again! Now I have to cook something, or chew on a tree.

Tina and Jeff Would you settle for todays high of 67 and low of 50. I thought that was cold but I haven't seen any really cold stuff yet this winter. The thought of the 110 degree stuff I had when I first got here has me thinking 70 is cold. I took two walks today. Maybe I'll get back in shape before I get to Q. Nothing very interesting was going on today. Last year at this time we had a good looking gal run through here riding a motorcycle without a stich of clothing on. That made for a little excitement. Today there was a 10 MPH wind that had a clill to it. All the gals had on parkas.

IYQ Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Nice day today. I woke up at about 2:30 this AM and couldn't get back to sleep. When it finally got light out I got may Quarterly estimated tax ready and took it to the P.O. the went to the Buckshot and had breakfast. I came home took my walk then laid down and slept all day. You think Maybe I'm wearing my watch up side down. One of the Cowgirls came over this evening and sort of invited herself out to dinner. That's OK, I didn't want to cook anything anyway.

IYQ Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 I went into Niland this morning to have breakfast with a friend (Male) It was a little chilly and my friend doesn't have adaquate heating in his trailer so we sat and talked for 3 hours in the warm restaurant while eating breakfast. No more than got back to my trailer and discovered I had an empty LP tank. So, Back to Niland. Came home with the LP and it was time for Happy Hour (3PM) My mail was here from SD so I took care of all of it that I could and began reading the Escapee magazine. All of at once I felt hungry as a wolf and realized I hadn't ate either lunch or dinner. Back to Niland. I managed to get there 10 minutes before the Buckshot restaurant closed. Wheeeeew. Where the heck does all the time go when you ain't doing anything. Same question. Where does all the gas go when I just filled the truck yesterday. It's down a quarter of a tank already. Good Luck Terry.

Wanderin Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) Good Luck Terry. HAHAHA - Wire was run today and digital meter installed. Controller goes on tomorrow. We don't have the panels yet. Still thinking on that one. Evidence of the need to stay away from places named "Suicide Hill". Solar, huh? How much you getting? How much you need? Hope your numbers come closer together than mine do. Linda We aren't quite sure because we don't know. The panels come in different sizes. We could get the 100 W panels but how many would we get ... 3? 4? Or, we could look at the 235 panels. That part is still being processed. What do others have?

Lavinmh Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Hi everyone, We are still in Kentucky finishing up at Amazon. We are staying to help them process all the returns. We are keeping an eye on the 10 day forcasts and it seems good for the next 10. So we are not sure if we are leaving on the 14th or the 21st. We have been very lucky with the weather this year. We have not had to pull in our water hose at all. It has gotten down to 25 at night, but we leave the water dripping a little and we have not had any problems. They had drawings here for perfect attendance in December and I won an IPad mini!! Now just need to learn how to use it!! Haven't had much chance to play with it yet. We will miss everyone in Q and Yuma this year again. Praying we will be able to be there next year. One more year on the east coast and we will be heading west. Have fun and drink that cranberry juice for us!! Quote Linda and Ed Lavinlavinmh@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IYQ Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 HAHAHA - Wire was run today and digital meter installed. Controller goes on tomorrow. We don't have the panels yet.

Or, we could look at the 235 panels. That part is still being processed. What do others have? Plan well on those panels. Those 235 watt panels are 6 feet by 3 feet. Do you have an area that big that won't get a shadow from the A/C or Satalite Dish. Just a little shadow will render a panel almost useless and in Arizona in December and January the shadows are very long. Played around with my hot water heater fixing a few discrepancies and dropped a screw down behind the gas valve. It took me 2 hours to fish the screw back out. I think I'm getting what ever it is that Steve has when it comes to working on my trailer. Then this evening I called the Buckshot restaurant to see what they had on Special. They said Pork Ribs. OH Boy. So after Happy hour and the "Burn your Own" that they have here at the slab every Sunday I went to the Buckshot with my mouth watering. Guess what. That's right they done run out of ribs. If it were not for bad luck I wouldn't have any luck at all.

IYQ Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Jeri and Terry I have 4 135watt panels lined up down the driver's side of my trailer. That way I park pointing straight west and the panels are in full sun all day with no shadows and as a second benifit the door side is shaded and the Frig intake vent is always in the shade. I produce 30 amps in summer and about 18 or 19 amps in mid winter at the lowest angle of the sun. For a few minutes today I was producing 20 amps. Days are getting longer now and the sun is getting higher in the sky.
