Work on the weekend

I was checking as to the possibility of using Walgreens as a pharmacy under the AARP sponsored part D..    And yes they are a preferred provider....  I picked Target as I knew that they were all over the country...  With us going down to the Lake in rural Missouri, we do have a Target there...

I was treated with the utmost respect by the Target Pharmacy in Arizona, so it is probably dependent on which store you go to.....  We have several within driving distance, so the first step is another store..

Our weekend here has been a laid back do nothing kind of an affair....  Saturday we started in on dirty vehicles, by washing the motor cycle by hand...  And a pressure washer here in the driveway.....  That seems to take forever as there are so many crooks and crannies...

But then I began to run the cars over to the full service wash facilities....  Only problem with that was everyone else had the same idea....  So you have to get in line to get in, and then wait in line while they do the detail work once your thru the tunnel...  It was taking about 45 minutes a vehicle...

I ran all three thru so that shot three hours.....  We also had to clean up from the yard clippings that were stuck on everything....   Mowing when wet is never a good idea, but of course Saturday it was almost sunny....  I did sneak off on the clean bike to ride several miles out of town around our  state park lake just South of us....  The camping looked like fun, but cleaning the motorhome to get ready to go would have been a monumental task......

So as Sunday dawned, we were nasty and overcast again....  And way too cool to do anything outside...  Barely 60......  Didn't see the sun until mid afternoon.........

Tonight we managed to slip over to the older son's home and give the youngest grand daughter her birthday presents........  Birthday cake was strawberry short cake....  With whipped cream and fresh berries......  When someone says shortcake and berries, I'm always on my way!!!!  Right away!!

It never did rain again today but tomorrow it is to start all over again....  So much for those clean cars..........

Tuesday is Mexican day with the Romeo Riders club.... but, the doctor scheduled an MRI right at 10 AM for me..............  So we will miss that lunch...  Its a 50 percent chance of rain anyway, and would be mostly interstate roads to get there....  Interstates and rain on a bike, make for very wet riders.........

There is a long ride way out into the center of Kansas on Wednesday scheduled by the Topeka group.....  About 80 miles each way..... Maybe if the sun is shining...........!   We all go to each other's events, so I will know more folks than a few.....

  2. Its been raining here for so long we will never have clean vehicles again. You can't get out of the long drive on to the gravel road with being covered in mud.

    A big hello to Loyce for me please

  3. Haven't seen rain in months but we may see a little this week in Colorado. Just hoping it's not storms like you guys and the rest of the country have been getting. Have fun Wednesday. I don't consider MRI's fun.

  4. Good luck with your MRI procedure, Rod. Too bad you're going to miss the Mexican lunch though.

    The skies have finally cleared up here and we've now had 3 days in a row of sunshine - not too shabby.

  5. Hi Rod, Rolling Earthquake here. We use Walgreens for RX. So far, as we full time travel, it's been very positive. They seem to be all over and if ya need to change pickup points it's easy. Hope your checkups all turn out well. Keep up the excellant blog work as I read it everyday. I wish I could do a blog everyday but I get about one a week done. Just pulled into Colorado. Check our blog http://www.cmhl09.blogspot.com Have a great week. Charlie.
