Day 20230109!

Apparently I chose well for an Anniversary present… ~Curtis in /\rizona! {!-{>

Day 2023008!

A wonderful sunrise this morning!  This is a three photo panorama from my iPhone 13: And this is a panorama using the settings in my iPhone.a taken a few second earlier.  I might have been able to lower the exposure behind the trees a bit, but this was over in less than a minute! ~Curtis […]

Day 2023007!

A nice sunset through a dirty window…time to find the Windex! ~Curtis in /\rizona! {!-{>

Day 2023006!

Our first home cooked dinner in the Trailer since we came down…almost…it was something frozen the Dailylife Wife brought down with us…Fiesta Chicken from our Instantpot!  Still delicious! Vertical iPhone Panorama…I will work on Zone of Acceptable Sharpness (Depth of Field!)… I filled the truck up at $3.13/gallon.  We got 9.6MPG, but there was about […]

Day 2023005 – Addendum!

I got my mitts on three of the Dailylife Wife’s photos from the 5th: Sunrise in Kingman! The Dailylife Wife rarin’ to go! Cedddar, Brocolli and Sweet Potato soup at the Red Rooster Cafe! I got one of the wrap halves for dinner: really good! ~Curtis in /\rizona! {!-{>

Day 202305 – A short Day! And Post! At least compared to yesterday’s three…

We got off about 9am heading East towards Flagstaff on I-40.  This is one of the roughest roads I have ever driven on that was considered to be paved! But the road stayed bare of snow and ice…just truck after truck after truck… I had to speed up a bit to keep from being a […]

Day 2023004…Part 3…Feed Me!

(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!

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…

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!

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 […]
