Day 20: Visit with friends

-
Vicki and her brother put some magnetic holders on some of the storage doors on the outside of the trailer.  We can now just open the door up to the magnet and it holds.  Before we would have to hook it with a wimpy hook that sometimes closed on us.

They also put on a screen door protector just in case Max decides to scratch the door and made some additional repairs to the spare tire holder.

I on the other hand had set up some time to meet with some old buddies from time gone by.  The first was with Christy Chism.  We ate at Flo's Asian Kitchen.  A good choice by Christy.   I worked with her at Texas Instruments back in the 90's (before the turn of the century).  I also played volleyball with her: two and three person outdoor and 6 person.  She moved to the Phoenix area to get a degree in nursing and I lost touch with her for about 20 years;  it does not seem that long.  It was great catching up with her.

For Dinner I met with Mike DeWitt and Bob Wadsworth from Clarksville high school.   I have not seen Bob for about ten years and Mike for about a year.  Both at our class reunions.  We ate at the Taco Guild, which is a restaurant in an old church.

I am now famous at the restaurant for telling the manager where the men's restroom is.  It was great catching up with them.

What has Paul been doing this summer?

2018 thus far I was expecting this year to be a whole lot better for me than what has happened.   The reason is because of the odd decade phenomenon, that I have noticed over the years.   In my 30 th decade of life I divorced from my first marriage – not a good thing.   In my 50 th decade of life I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.   So, this being an even decade I was not expecting any big life changing negative events. But … In February my neurologist did not raise my medication for my PD symptoms.   I was expecting to get an increase in my medication since my off-time was starting to increase and I was having trouble sleeping through the night.   For those of you who do not know what off-time means it is when my medication wears off between medication dosages and my PD symptoms begin to show.   When this has happened in the past the neurologist always raised the dosage. In April Vicki and I took the Motorhome down to Orlando to meet

Day 13 - The River Road Trip, Take 1

This day began with me getting up in the morning 5:30am for sunrise pictures in Big Bend.  I went to Sotol Vista.  It looked like an interesting sunrise position, but the sun did not do much.  Below are a few pictures from there: Next on our agenda was to drive the river road in Big Bend Ranch State Park.  This is a drive on TX 170 from Lajitas to Presidio.  A couple of people, we have met on the way, highly recommended it. It runs along the Rio Grande through the mountains.  You may or may not know, Max is a bit spoiled.  When he goes for a car ride, he has to have the window open so he can stick his head out the window.  He does this even at 60 mph. When I get back from sunrise pictures, Vicki and I eat breakfast and prepare for the drive.  The plan was to go to Presidio, eat, grocery shop and return.  Of course we would stop on the way and I would take some pictures.  We take off around 11:30pm and get to the outskirts of Lajitas when Vicki gets a phone call which comes

The National Park tour. Day: -1

-
As many of you know Vicki and I have been planning a trip out west to visit some National Parks and visit friends and family on the way. We will be doing that starting tomorrow (April 1, 2017). We have spent the last few months getting ready for this trip, including buying a travel trailer. The current plan is to visit the following national parks: Big Bend National Park Grand Canyon National Park Arches National Park Canyon Lands National Park Bryce Canyon National Park Zion National Park Yellowstone National Park Grand Tetons National Park We have reservations at travel trailer parks from Apex all the way through the Grand Tetons. If I count right 22 different parks. We still do not know the plans for on the way back. We are both very nervous about the trip as we have never done travel trailers to this extent. There is lots of stuff we need to remember both in travel trailer stuff and the fact we will be gone for so long. The total distan
