Oct 30th Lazy day RV site Tucon

Roger and Susie's Travels Well after leaving Avi Friday we landed at a Walmart in Phoenix area thinking we would stay over night (no go) so we left there and headed to Mesa camping world it was dark and the traffic was bruttle (not good) but arrived with out any problems (thank heaven for the Garmin GPS) the next day we went shopping Costco and 99 cent store then headed off to Lazy days RV park Tucon to meet up with Peggy and Robin got there had a beer then we all went to do a hot tub (was that ever great at getting rid of the driving stress) My shoulder has been bothering me this trip I think it is due from being up tight driving but that will get curred when we hit Mexico and relax. Expecting Tim and Sherl to arrived today Sunday then its happy hour

I did have to get a RV repair guy out things were not working properly on furnace air condition etc (not to happy after all the work had been done on the coach already) but turned out to something as simple as resetting the control panel so now I have learned to do that ( I some times think I will die before I learn everything HA HA ) last couple of nights instead of going to the casino to eat there so called cheap buffets.

Roger and Susie's Travels Still loading stuff. tonight we had over friend (John) and house looker after (while on holidays) over for dinner. Roast beef / carrots&turnips and mashed potatoes and gravy (so good) that we all had second helpings

Oct 9th chopping on the bit

Because of our damp weather it is very important to the boat winterized this means all water to drained engine compartment to have a low power heater because you can never get all the water out of the bilge plus all seats and mattress and clothing  any thing in tight quarters to be taken out if they can't breath they will mold so I also put a fan in for ventilation

Roger and Susie's Travels Well a little further and getting closer to leaveing  boat complete and put to bed 

Oct. 8th dealing with boat

Love this boat

I Think I like this pose two

It was a struggle but as you can see it did fit in there

Roger and Susie's Travels  Well got the boat cleaned out winterized and motor flushed out with fresh water plus got the 15 horse off the back of the boat and in the trunk of the tow car for our little boat in Mexico. all that is left is too set up a fan plus heater in engine compartment and cover in for the winter. plus still loading Susie,s stuff for the motor home. The weather is crappy I think I am getting excited to start traveling down the road 

Oct 7th

My fishing buddy Hal

I no you can not see anything but we had a hole bunch of porpoise's come up around the boat but by the time I got the camera well you can see what happened ????

Was a beautiful day 

Roger and Susie's Travels Well today was the last big item getting the boat home and out of the water so I will spend a couple of days getting that winterized and put to bed then it is only the mic. small stuff should be ready to leave by Saturday of this coming week. We did a little fishing on the way here caught 2 Link cod but they were ugly so we let them live another day (catch and release)

Oct 6Th

Roger and Susie's Travels Well Things are progressing the last few day have been a challenge be cause with the change in weather i got a cold in my kidney which means a very sore back. so I laid around for a few days but some of my major things have to be done before Mexico I'm getting there with a bit of a struggle but its happening My deck supports are up My palm tree is covered and insulated and my under ground sprinklers are blown out. Tomorrow we bring the boat home and put to bed. We will try a little fishing along the way ????? after winterizing the the boat all that is left is the small stuff. Boy will I be glad. I know when we drive out the driveway I will forget all the Bull shit that it took to get there
