Day 093!

Saturday, April 8, 2023

The next day he was snoozing after his breakfast.  He had a milk, orange juice, coffee, and hot chocolate on his tray! He also ate 2/3 of his sloppy joe at lunch!  He didn’t eat that much when he was still healthy! This was a quick trip to see him, and then it was back […]

Day 092!

Saturday, April 8, 2023

I spent the next afternoon with Dad.  He is doing good, basically, but his short term memory is a bit lacking.  He also can’t really see well enough to run the controllers.  He did enjoy most of his breakfast! It is a nice room. This is Scott.  He is one of the aides who get […]

Day 091!

Saturday, April 8, 2023

So after a day at home it was up to Kalispell to see the ailing Parents!  Rogers Pass. North of Seeley Lake. Swan Lake. Daisy, the Dailylife Sister’s dog! The Dailylife Sister! The Dailylife Step Mom…the shiner is from when the Dailylife Grandpop tripped over her and “started” this shebang. Here he is, bored out […]

Day 088!

Sunday, March 26, 2023

On the Road Again!  Here is Old Town Cottonwood, looking as empty as I have ever seen it in the daytime! We took I17 to Flagstaff, and then US89 to Kanab, UT.  We could have followed US89 all the way home, except for the several mountain passes and ranges that are still snowed in. This […]

Day 079! A Proud Day!

Saturday, March 18, 2023

Back in 1973 I earned my Eagle Rank in the Boy Scouts!  Here I am at the Eagle Recognition by the State Governor, Tom Judge, in 1974.  I am the handsome dude behind his left shoulder. Well, 49 years later (whenever the 18th of March, 2023 is!) Toots got to go to the same Eagle […]

Day 064!

Monday, March 6, 2023

We took off for a couple of days in Tucson.  As we were leaving Cottonwood this neat pickup truck zppeared! This is Picachu Peak. I don’t know what mountain this is… A quick snapshot by the Dailylife Wife.  (She took two…this is the one where I hadn’t started to smile yet…) A view of Tucson […]

Day 2023004…Part 3…Feed Me!

Wednesday, January 4, 2023

(Photos by the Dailylife Wife and me!) Last year late in our stay the Dailylife Wife heard about Oatman and wanted to go see it. https://www.amusingplanet.com/2017/03/the-wild-burros-of-oatman-arizona.html It was too late and too far for a quick trip last year, but I recalled it was somewhere around Kingman, or at least a lot closer than to […]

Day 2023004…Part 2…Rough Country!

Wednesday, January 4, 2023

Las Vegas was a trial…finding a gas station that could accept my truck AND trailer…we ended up driving all the way to Kingman on that tank! Speaking of gas, this trip has been…weird?  Phenomenal?  Our first tank, from Great Falls to rocker we got 8.2MPG.  That is really good, particularly pulling the trailer through the […]

Day 2023004…Part 1…Uh oh…

Wednesday, January 4, 2023

We woke up fairly early, planning on maybe going all the way.  That dream ending quickly when we took the luggage out to the truck.  Nada.  No clicker for the door, no ummph from the ignition.  Someone left their electric baked potato warmer plugged in all night.  Back to breakfast and a call to AAA.  […]

Day 2023003!

Wednesday, January 4, 2023

Morning came way too early for some of us… Then it was out to brush snow and warm up the truck. (Photo by the Dailylife Wife!) A dreary start to the day, deliberately late so as to miss the Salt Lake City morning rush hour.  We did encounter this interesting steam/smoke column near Lehi… (Photos […]
