We ended up eating lunch in a Steak house type of restaurant in Oracle Az which was 100 miles away.. This took most of the day and drove us thru many mining towns and past open pit copper mines....
What a way to get some break in miles on the new machine.... And I am not all that familiar with it, as I was struggling to steer the wide front end trike... It has power steering assist, and is very sensitive at highway speeds... Consequently I was over steering, or chasing the controls for a good portion of the beginning of the ride..
Friday, was power wash the motorhome out in the street in front of the house.... And we had to have a record day in October temperatures.... 96 and very sunny.... I came inside and sat in front of the fan a lot with what seemed like gallons of lemonade... I never did get the outside toweled down, so the water spots are what they are... But its cleaner....
Late in the afternoon, I hooked mr Jeep on the back and we headed to the storage lot.... They have had their problems with folks climbing the concrete walls and breaking into things stored inside... The lot is surrounded with razor wire on the top of the walls, but the perpetrators have been using wire cutters to cut away sections in order to get thru...
The lot owners have installed critter cameras on various permanent structures, in order to get pictures of the thieves, but that doesn't help the folks that have had their stuff damaged or taken... This seems to be a new problem in Apache Junction since so many housing units and storage lots are unattended in the warmer times of the year...
So with trepidation, my MH is now stored with the others....
Saturday has found me cleaning the inside of the house here in Mesa... Dust and dirt has collected for the last 6 months without a single hand to wipe things off.... And its laundry day as well... Seems to never end...

Our park had several park models broken into this summer. None of the Rv's were touched. I wish somebody had broken in and cleaned mine for me. I'm sure there is dust and dirt everywhere after the summer they had. Glad you got out on the bike.
ReplyDeleteSeems to be a problem all over the valley. Unoccupied houses getting broken into and over our way some pyromaniac has been getting his jollies lighting fires also. We have a pretty conscientious fellow looking after our place as well as numerous camera's monitoring the goings on there. Don't what I can do if someone moves in though, but maybe at least send a deputy by with flowers to welcome them.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like the security system needs to be ramped up. I guess there isn't anything a determined criminal can't get through.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that is not good about the break-ins....... Sounds like a real problem...... The new bike looks really sporty..... Do you like how it handles? You did mention getting used to the steering but how about the ease of balancing and the seat, etc. ? Keep having fun..... Hope it cools down soon.....
