November 2021 in the Books

We have been at the Paradise RV Resort for almost a month now, after arriving on November 1st.  We have been busy enjoying the nice weather and company of Shilo and our Paradise neighbors whom we have come to love.  We like to ride our bikes, often times to the various stores for groceries or miscellaneous project parts.  There are good sidewalks for bike riding here in Sun City.  We have stayed busy with projects helping Shilo and those on our own RV.

A nice sunset at Paradise.

Our most important project is that we both were baptized on November 26, 2021, by full immersion at Lake Pleasant just north of town.  We are twins now with the same birthday!  11-26-21  Minister Bob Shultz performed our baptisms.

First Steve....

Then Gari..

We all had a nice lunch at the marina restaurant after our baptisms.  That's Pam & Bob with Gari & Steve; Shilo is taking the picture.

Below is a shot of our set up at Paradise.  We store our bikes and grill under the coach manger overhang.

We worked on a entry door rug replacement, but that was a bust.  It's a long story, but the shop owner refused to sell it to us when we requested they sell it for their promised price.  The manager was quite the spectacle in the shop.  So we still need to find a replacement.

Below a picture taken of the battery bank terminal configuration while investigating the issue with our batteries at Paradise.  After three multiple hour equalization sessions, our battery bank is holding a charge well over 12.75 volts.  Situation resolved for now.

While riding bikes one day we saw this cream-puff parked out back of the shopping center.  Steve had to stop and get a photo.

Looking at our back yard.  Jack & Sharon our South Dakota native neighbors use their toy hauler RV to store a Harley Trike and a golf cart.  They set up a nice pavilion where we often gather for snacks and games.

Jack helps our next door neighbor Doc hang his new step ladder on his motorhome.  Doc used the same design we invented 9 years ago, on the first night in our trailer while overnight at a Lowes in Kansas.  The design has been foolproof to date.

View looking east down 16th Street.  You can see our front cap at frame right.

A view down our utility corridor at the back of our rig.  That's our black chest box on our receiver.  The water, sewer, electric and telephone all run along this corridor, plus natural gas for the park model homes.

Watch battery replacement project.... successfully accomplished.

The washer dog replacement project... who knew there are dogs in a clothes washer anyway?  The tall white cylinder is part of the washer agitator.  The dogs act as ratchet stops and make the agitator go in a full circle.

We had a few other projects that didn't get photos, such as the bicycle shifter and brake cable and assembly replacement, the bathroom light fixture replacement. the American Flag remounting project, the sunshade upgrade and replacement and below a favorite the Reuben Sandwich Cook and Eat Project!

Cheers and Merry Christmas to all our family and friends!
