Ace has new parents


We made pizza on the BBQ Friday night. Delicious. 
Italian sausage, tomatoe, green pepper, onion, fresh basil and mozza.

Red sky in the morning.... turned out to be nothing.

Well the day has come, it had to eventually. 
Ace went home with her new family today... to an island north of us.
 It was hard saying goodbye to her after 3 years of adventure but we are happy that she has a new home and not just sitting in a storage slowly fading away.

Dick & Peggy are Ace's new parents. Yes, I'm a wierdo - so what?! She was our baby for 3 years...

One last shot of her as she headed home, I don't think Dick saw us he looked to be concentrating pretty hard. They sent an email to let us know they made it home safely and that she 'drives like a dream'... Oh, did I forget to mention that? LOL
I asked that if they ever want to sell her that we get first right of refusal. Love this rig.

When we got home we went down to the garden and this is what I pulled in for today's harvest.

Once cleaned up, today's harvest is pretty good.

There are a bazillion tomatoes down there, and huge but still green. When they turn we shall be overrun with tomatoes and I will need a crew to process them all. Fun times in our tomatoe future.

For supper we had steamed broccoli and caesar salad with garden romaine and homemade croutons (I make them from any homemade bread that goes stale). With Kraft Caesar dressing because everyone has to have a little naughty with every meal. Tonight: Popcorn! WooHoo.

Oh, and just to confirm my craziness -- Big Brother 22 (US version) starts Wednesday. Jus sayin'. ;) 
I've been watching since BB3 and this is an All-star season so hell no, I'll not be missing this one either.

Lifted

First thing yesterday we needed to have the Jeep over to Tiger Automotive for the lift kit by 8am. Since we were over there, we decided to text my son and see if he was available to open the gate at shop where he and my brother work so we could put the RV in the yard.

On Sunday we had driven the RV to the windshield repair shop and dropped it off so they could take the necessary measurements to order a new one on Monday morning. This is an insurance claim so not out of pocket, for a change. Unfortunately, we weren't able to leave it for too long as it is a shared parking lot.

Timing the RV move to the shop was difficult because both my son and brother's jobs are pretty much 24/7 so its hard to pin them down to a time. However, he was oddly available so we took advantage of the opportunity and moved the rig over. Only problem with this park spot is the potential for mice... we'll be doing some kerfuffling today around the rig to hopefully protect it. I have already stuffed holes with steel wool but every little bit helps considering all of our stuff is in it and I'm sure as hell not emptying it out just for a few weeks.

Brad wants to make some inquiries about a proper RV parking spot today, so I'll call around for an indoor storage, however, getting the RV out of the yard will be just as complex as getting it in was... and when we were driving in and I made calls, you may recall there was nothing available...

Brad went for his weekly massage and before he returned Tiger Auto had called to say the Jeep was ready... so we scooted over there to pick her up...

Lifted 2 inches

Our tire and rim guy called to say he could move us up a week and get them put on on Friday, bonus!
