Staying Busy

We are having a very busy time here at Quartzsite.

We purchased a Pressure Pro Tire monitoring system and Ed was busy installing it on the motorhome. This system will monitor the tire pressure and an alarm will sound if the tire pressure starts to go down. Since we are really bad about checking the tire pressures, this system is something we have been talking about for some time. The system will also monitor the tires on the car, but we had to install new valve stems on the tires, and have not put the sensors on yet.

Saturday we went shopping at the 'Big Tent'. There really isn't much new from last year. They have a lot of vendors selling stuff and a lot of vendors advertising there campgrounds. We did stop at the Direct TV booth though and today they came to install a DVR and wire for a receiver in the bedroom. We had to sign a new contract, everything they did today didn't cost of anything! It was really easier than we ever thought it would be. Now we are able to watch something different on each TV and we can record another program. Can someone show us how to use it??

Saturday evening the Class of 2009 held their graduation ceremony and Chili Cookoff. The Class of 2008 got to judge. That means we got to eat without doing any of the work. Isn't that what upper classmates are supposed to do?? It was a fun evening!

Sunday we took some of the Class of 2009 to the Desert Bar. The Desert Bar is one of the most unique things in the area. You have to travel 5 miles of winding dirt road to get to the bar. It's only open on the weekends from high noon until sundown and isn't open at all during the summer months. It's totally solar powered.



We need to take the motorhome over and dump our tanks and drive into town to get some water. The water pump here at LaPosa South went out last week and they don't expect it to be fixed until Wednesday or Thursday. But a full tank of water should last us until we leave here on the 26th.

The weather here calls for rain for the next few days. Rain is bad because it keeps everyone inside their rigs but it does help with the dust. Maybe we will do some laundry or maybe we will just curl up with a good book! By Friday the storms are expected to be over. Then we should have another 4 days of good weather before we move on. We will be able to have our fires at night again and go for walks in the afternoons. This is fun!!

  1. I'm seeing it from your eyes this time! The weather threw us a curve. They call for 55-60 mph winds here tomorrow. Just can't move now. Interesting items on Q! Glad you're there to represent us absent '08ers.
