Scheduled maintenance and Happy Hour

Location:  BLM near Winterhaven, California

Woke up early this morning ready to start the day.  7 o'clock and it was still just starting to get light out and it was chilly in the White Lion.  Almost started the propane heater, but went with starting up the coffee and the heat from the burner did the job.

Have another slow day ahead.  The only plans I have are to make a few phone calls and go the Happy Hour.   Going to be a warm one today with afternoon temperatures in the low 80s.  However, it's cool this morning because of a fairly heavy cloud cover.

After breakfast Yuma and I took a nice long walk.  He was in the mood to run this morning.



He always stops and checks to make sure I'm watching.

At 9 0'clock I called a trucking service center and made an appointment for Monday morning to have the White Lion's oil changed and whatever else they do when servicing a diesel coach.   Probably move to a new place Monday.

Looking forward to doing that before traveling far.  Made another call to Jordan at RV Connection to let him know I found the cables from the batteries to the inverter, which will save me some money because they won't have to buy and install those expensive cables.

The morning was so nice, Yuma and I snoozed for an hour or two.  Around noon the clouds parted and blue skies prevailed. Started to really warm up.  Before I knew it, it was time to get ready for Happy Hour and I haven't had lunch yet.  Had to rush and eat, take my pills that I forgot to take this morning and rush over to Ken and Kims.  Made it just a little late.

We had two new HH participants today.  More bloggers too!  Dean and Cheri from Ottawa, Kansas are full-time RVers.  Their blog is Travels with Bentley

Yuma, Bill, Dean, Cheri, Patsy, Kim and Ken.
Tonight, I'm working on my post and watching Dave Turin's Lost Mine and previously I watched Gold Rush.  Soon time for dinner and then bed time.  Be sure to take note of the additions to the right column on my blog.
The White Lion emblem.

See you later.

    1. Thanks Dolly. Yuma really gets going sometimes. Hopefully the White Lion gets a clean bill of health and I can move on. Bill and Patsy have lots of friends that are RVers.

  2. Yuma got his exercise, did you? Your W.L. logo is pretty cool. What a nice gathering at H.H.

  4. Since the temperatures are starting to warm up it would be wise to keep Yuma on a short leash as the Rattle Snakes will be coming out. Al and Kelly from The Bayfield Bunch had the Pheebs vaccinated for Snake Bites just in case.
    Be Safe and Enjoy your HHs.

    It's about time.

  5. Love the photos of Yuma when he runs like the wind.! So cute when he makes sure you are watching him. 😎

  6. Biggest thing on a diesel is a regular oil change. You also need to change the air dryer every few years if you live or travel in a humid climate. You can read about it on the internet. I have friends that didn't know and had a huge tow bill. Love that Yuma is a runner. It's fun to watch them play race horse.

    1. Thanks Nancy. I'll feel better knowing the engine has been serviced and then I'll know the schedule. Yuma is fast as the wind!

  7. Yuma is adorable and love the White Lion symbol. Glad you are enjoying Happy Hours with the gang, even though it'll be getting smaller (or maybe not if Dean and Cheri come for a few days) Maintenance is definitely a good thing. Keep enjoying your days :)

    1. Thanks Shirley. I think tonight will be my last as I will be moving early Monday morning to get the White Lion serviced. I've gained six pounds so heading in the right direction. Safe travels today.

  8. We sure enjoyed our time at Ken and Shirley's yesterday visiting with everyone. Thanks for including us, and you'll most likely have to put up with us later today.
