Moving Day

Tomorrow (Saturday) we’re pulling up stakes and moving 80 miles north to Florence, Arizona. I did a little investigating today about the WiFi provider at the RV park there, and discovered it’s Boingo, which is a relief. If it had been NomadISP I would say there is no way we would stay there beyond the [...]

March Plans

The other day we took the afternoon to drive up to Florence, Arizona while the RV was in the shop for servicing. Phil had once briefly owned a condo there, and wanted to look at the development where that had been, and I’d located a likely RV park to consider staying in. The Desert Gardens [...]

Las Touristas

We only have a week left on our month at Beaudry RV in Tucson, and while we may stay in this area, we are not going to be at this RV park because of their terrible WiFi. (It’s a great place otherwise, but that’s a very important amenity for us, and having to pay for [...]

Birdwatching

Today I got out with the camera, and as well as a number of shots of the Santa Catalina mountains, north of Tucson, and a few of the Santa Rita mountains, to the south, and a bunch of cacti and other desert plant life, I got to add a new bird to my life list. [...]

Site Enhancements

That shows my avatar, some of my pictures on my Facebook page, and my latest status (usually sent to Facebook from my Twitter account, actually). What is not as obvious is a new function provided by Snap-Shot. If [...]

Back Online in Tucson

It has been an interesting week. For the gory details of our refighting the Battle of Troy (or at least a trojan horse), see my techie blog. I won’t bore you with it here, but briefly we discovered some bad stuff on Phil’s laptop that could have been causing at least some of the problems [...]

Good, Bad & Ugly

The Good is all the fun both of us have had at the bead shows here. Those continue through next werk in various venues and formats, but except for window shopping, I’m through with them. I spent all the money I’d set aside, and more (of course). I got a really good selection of beads, [...]

One for the Money, Two for the Shows

The shows in question are 45 individually operated venues throughout Tucson that exist in conjunction with the world-famous Tucson Gem and Mineral Show. The money is what I’ll be wishing I had more of once I hit the exhibit floors, I’m sure! They started Saturday, but the first one I’m attending starts in the morning. [...]
