Here’s those Cameo levelers in action.  Saved a lot of unnecessary grunting  when using the blocks.  The camper is up already. DSC_0015

Day 25

No walking for me this morning.  Too many grapes and not enough bathrooms.

As we use to say in Nam, 4 days and a wake up and we’re out of here.

Ordered some Cameo tire/RV levelers (3) from Amazon.  They got to be easier than the yellow blocks.  If newbies are using them, they must work!  I should get them Friday sometime.

Day 24

Previously on Monday night in downtown old Las Vegas after the ZIP Line.1632

Go Eddy……….private thing….

Nope, ain’t gonna walk today.  Instead I got all the BBQ stuff out for an outside breakfast cooked by Chef Kraig.  It was good..

Here he is …DSC_0001 - CopyJust going thru stuff.DSC_0002DSC_0005

Carol is drying clothes on our ladder clothes line.DSC_0006 - CopyDSC_0007DSC_0010

I finished up going thru my GoPro.  I thought I brought everything.  I have no charges for my three batteries.  Not even a charger for my wrist controller.  Maybe I can at least charge the batteries using the GoPro itself and at least use it.  I think it takes about 2 hours for each charge.  Time will tell.

I got some binoculars 10X50 from Amazon and delivered to Kristy’s address.  Hey, their cheap and they work really good.DSC_0003 - Copy

I also ordered some bright LEDs for the camper.  We shall see.  I installed them and everyone likes them so far.

Yes, I’m bored and am catching up on old stuff.

I got to go thru these  “things” and see what’s on them if anything.  Plus, I got a small bag with 4 micro cards, GoPro?DSC_0004 - Copy

Plus I have a Drone with a camera that I haven’t even opened. 

Plus, I got a cam dash that  I’m stuck on the “how it works”  stage.  DSC_0008

And then just before we left tx I got a Rrand McNally 7 that is working just outstanding.  $200 bucks and will worth it so far.  Too bad it don’t come with the WiFi for gas prices along your route.DSC_0009 - Copy

Retirement is having the time….

Day 23

At Denny’s by 6:30?  Nah, not us.  Too Bad.  We’re here/there.  Kraig had the $4 meal, I had the $6 meal and Carol, well, hers was over $10.

Wow, time for Walmart.  There went a quick $75 and an hour.  Only one register open and five customers waiting. They are not very customer friendly here.

8:30 at the rig.  Kraig went to the pool.  Now what to do the rest of the day.

Oh, saw a RV wash guy.  He wanted $75 to wash our camper.  Nah, not today.

One week today and we will moving up I-15 towards Zion then hang a right.  We plan to be in the South Fork just as the Escapees HOP ends there.  Mark is a last moment fill in host.  We were not needed according to the HOP director.   I gave as much verbal help as I could give Mark.  He will have fun. 

I got out my GoPro that I never really have learned it, hardly at all.  Just going thru the thing and all it’s attachments.

Well, it’s 9 PM and I'm getting tired.

Retirement means you can check out the little things you’ve been meaning too.

Day 22

Wow, we slept in.  We were walking at 6:30 AM vice 6 AM. 

We got a rental RV next that speak VERY little English.  Parents plus 3 or 4 girls I think.  They were nice.  We managed of course. 

The day went by very fast…. then about 8 PM Kristy and her friend picked up Carol, Kraig and me.  We were being taken to a ZIP LINE here in Vegas.  Over 100’ above people old Vegas downtown about 4 blocks long and about 35 MPH.  Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

And were off……DSC_0005DSC_0007DSC_0008
