Day 26016!

Saturday, January 17, 2026

Rain Spirit is a wonderful place, quiet, peaceful, not too big…but the WiFi is crap. Seen way too often: This is getting old.  Almost as old as that danged furnace… ~Curtis in Arizona! {!-{>

The sunset has been spectacular back home in Grff’lls!  Two from the Dailylife Granddaughter #1 (she’s a Freshman in >>College<< now!) ~Curtis in /\/\onTana!  Sort of… {!-{>

Day 26015!

Friday, January 16, 2026

A regular stop for people living in an RV.  Particularly when it is cold at night and the furnace runs a lot. The only thing “flowering”. And I think they are dried from last year.  Everything should be starting before we head north in April. And a nice sunset over the pool.  We had a […]

Day 26014!

Thursday, January 15, 2026

We had a fairly nice* sunrise this morning!  (* only slightly enhanced for color…) We had to drive to Phoenix this morning for a dermatology appointment.  There is a rest area, previously seen here, about half way, just before the start of a BIG hill running down past Bumblebee, Arizona!  There was considerable construction when […]

Day 26012!

Monday, January 12, 2026

It has been over a month since I filled up the truck: 347 miles (Clarkdale to Phoenix and back, plus a few miles) over a pretty tall summit, 26.079 gallons, 13.3 MPG!  And I just missed a significant odometer turnover…990 miles more until the next one, the big 155k! For some color, a somewhat fuzzy […]

Day 26011!

Monday, January 12, 2026

We went out for a nice breakfast at the Black Bear Diner…still incredibly better than the one they tried to open in Great Falls! This is the remains of the “Volcano”: 3 pancakes, 2 bacon strips, 2 sauage links, and 2 eggs.  Not to mention the 3 little cups of syrup and >>5<< butter pats! […]

Day 26009!

Friday, January 9, 2026

While sunny today, it remained pretty cold, particularly with that wind!  So I decided to show a better view of my “office”. Yesterday’s photo was out that window on the left. A few more from this evening!: Looking West after the sunset. Looking East at the stars. Another view of our street in panorama form, […]

Day 26008!

Friday, January 9, 2026

Lots of wind, rain and cold today.  We didn’t go far.  The furnace, which we had thought finally fixed, started its fugue again. Here is a little of the rain and sun mixed out behind our trailer, in front of the clubhouse. ~Curtis in Arizona! {!-{>
