A Bowl of Snew
He said: I went to the town cafe today and had a delicious bowl of Snew.
She said: What's Snew?
He said: Oh not much, what 'snew with you?
We continue to enjoy our time in Sun City, Arizona and our visits with Shilo and her furry boyz Alex and Hunter. We are keeping busy with this and that and share a few pictures below as we knock around Sun City and Sun City West.
We visited with the local Veterans for a pancake breakfast on Veteran's Day. The Vets on the front line served up the hot cakes.
The queue led inside to the sausage line, yummy.
God Bless America and our Veterans, Amen. Breakfast is served, enjoy!
We take care of our medical and dental needs while we stay in Sun City. Below is a place Steve is spending lots of time and money, Elegant Dentistry. The latest project is an implant that Steve calls his Bionic Tooth.
Gari looked at new shoes. The last time that happened was too many years ago.
We like to ride our bicycles around town. This day we rode to the Safeway grocery store for a few supplies. Gari has a basket on the back rack of her bike. The Styrofoam cooler fits perfectly into the basket. Gari can fit and carry quite a few groceries in that rig, even the cold goods!
All three of us, Gari, Shilo and Steve made an appointment with Gary at Happy Trails to see the RV Resort. Happy Trails sells RV lots, some people build sheds or even "Arizona Houses" on the site with their RV. An Arizona House is a local name for a small Casita or small house, usually under 1,000 sq ft.
Happy Trails front gate. We enjoyed the tour, but don't think we are buyers quite yet.
Next project on tap is what Steve calls the Sheik of Arabique Curtains. Steve demonstrates the installation concept below.
But first a bourbon planning session...
OK session is over, cut him off!
Gari gets to work pre-assembling the curtain rod brackets.
Measuring...
Marking, under surveillance by the job bosses...
Drilling the stucco...
Installing the curtain rod brackets...
Final installation, inspector returns.
Finished product.
Area light is out of service...
Lamp shade says it uses a 12 Volt, 3 Watt LED light.
Below is the LED, right in the center of the printed circuit board. It turned out that no voltage was getting to the board and we corrected the problem buried in the stones near the base of the lamppost. Once again the patio is bathed in light.
We snuck in a battery replacement job in Shilo's Honda. November is a good time to replace old batteries before it turns cold and leaves you stranded.
Next project, cleaning of the Fantastic Fans. These things get nasty dirty after a few years of use. Below is a picture of our rear fan opened on the roof of Penelope.
Fan assembly is removed in one piece and is on the table ready for disassembly and cleaning. White vinegar and little Clorox will do the job.
Gari removes the dirty lid.
Lots of mold and mildew on the inside of the lid.
Separating the control board from the fan.
There's the plug.
Fan all cleaned, reassembled and reinstalled. Gari points the remote control and smiles; it must be working!
Last project we will save for a day while we are in Yuma, AZ. This is the inside view of the Solar Power junction box on the roof of Penelope. The two busses connect the output of the solar panels to the input of the solar controller. The busses are corroded, no dielectric grease was applied during installation. The stranded wire is also pretty messy, many of the wire strands did not tread through the buss openings and are just frayed back. We will find or rebuild the buss board, dress up and grease the wires and connection points and reassemble the box as it should be.
