Day 23: It's always something

-
It just goes to show you it is always something.  Vicki decides to go to the Petsmart Dog hotel to check with them to make sure Max's paperwork is in order.  The plan was to leave him there while we meet family at the Grand Canyon.  We were going to arrive Tuesday, April 24th while the rest of the family Mary Beth, T-man, Matt, Zach, Karen, Guinnie, & Sean would be arriving on Thursday.  Petsmart tells Vicki that Max is missing a shot.  Of course today is Sunday.  We make an appointment to see a vet on Monday.  This is considered an emergency and we have to pay extra for it.

With that all setup, we head out for an afternoon drink and dinner.  We go to a favorite place of Denny and Mirveta in Old Scottsdale called Old Town Tavern.  I was there the last time I was in town.  I think the waitress was the same person.

The bar is not much bigger than this.  People do sit outside and I think there may be outside sitting on the second floor.

Off to dinner at Craft 64, which is in Old Scottsdale.

Waiting for some food
First come salads
Then pizza
Then more salad
As we are eating dinner Vicki tells me that she lost part of a tooth.  She is able to find it on her plate.  She originally thought it was an olive pit.  After dinner, Mirveta text's her dentist and is told to call in the morning for an appointment.

The Netgear WN2000RPT Universal WiFi Range Extender came today.  I was able to get it working locally with a wireless internet that has good reception.  We will see if works with worse reception at the RV parks.  I plan on taking it to the Grand Canyon and give it a try there.  I can now extend the RV park's wifi and access it in a network with it's own id and password.  I plan on taking it to the GC lodge for further testing.

Everybody is worn out and heads off to bed early.

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
