To CA and back again

My apologies for not updating recently.  We've spent that last few weeks on the road in locations with very little to no cell phone coverage so my access to internet has been spotty at best and non-existent most of the time.

We had a great time visiting our family in California for Xmas and New Years.  It's so good to see everyone and bringing Chappy out there made it much easier for us to enjoy our time.  No major issues on the trip only a stuck pocket door going to my office/bunkroom and I was able to fix that (mostly) when we got back.

Here are a few pictures of some of the things.  I wish I could post them all but it would take forever.


Of Course Karen and I found a  Brunch place that served a decent bloody Mary.

Our Trip to Anza Borrego followed the rains resulting in many plants in bloom early!

Walking through a slot canyon.  Notice the tipped column in the top center!  Yikes!

Lunch prep.  That is Big Joe's homemade Salsa on the table.  Everyone loved it!

Our Campsite in Anza Borrego

Aunt Charlie and I went wine tasting in Temecula!

This was our campsite in Perris.  It worked perfectly for us to visit the family, was inexpensive, and located near town and the dog kennel.

There and back again....

We had a great two weeks in Michigan.  It was nice to visit family and friends although extremely hectic since I only took 1 day off during the time.  It seems we were constantly busy, going places to visit people, having people stop by, or driving.  Still it was a good time. Plans from here?  Well, we've decided to cancel our annual Gettysburg trip again.  This time it seems that there is just too much to do in preparation to leave again for AZ, so we've decided to stick around.  The Covid would limit what we can safely do too much for us to go this year. We will however, still be making our trip back to Michigan in October, immediately followed by our return trip to AZ!  More to come as we get closer.

Sunset behind us lights up the tops of the trees Puppy Tax.  No it's not ours.  My Buddy Shannon and his family just got this cutie.  She's adorable.

Missing Chappy

It's not even been two entire weeks and I miss Chappy.  Since we took him out to the summer campground I've been really wanting to go out there and this long holiday weekend is the perfect time. The site that we were put at is very nice.  It has a deck that was made by the last residents and it works perfectly for us.  We'll be heading out there after I get done with work and I can't wait to sit on the deck and enjoy the fire pit tonight with a cold beer and maybe my pipe.

Long time no update - So I'll make it a long post!

 Sorry for the long delay in updating here.  There has been a lot going on and we are gearing up for even more activity over the next month. So what has been happening?  Well, the fun never stops that is for sure.  Work activities aside we have been doing a decent amount of work around the house, but you'd never know by looking at it.  A few weeks back we had a tree fall on the house.  Luckily, there was no Major damage, just some gutters that still need to be put back up and a couple of scratches, and dents.  The only real damage luckily was to my awesome Weber grill.  Poor guy had a wheel bent over that now needs replaced, but with the weight of a large tree on him it is impressive that he just has a tiny dent otherwise and works like brand new.  I'm no product spokesman for Weber, but they make an excellent, tough grill that lasts.  Can't say that about my last Sams Club grill that rusted out completely in 3 years despite only moderat...
