Sunday ; Sunny and very warm.
Did some truck and camper maintenance today. Went for a long walk. Did a long exercise session in the warm mineral pool and a soak in the hot mineral pool. Wasted a lot of time trying to get some online work done using this resort’s exceptionally slow and poor Wi-Fi … <sigh>. Slightly reluctantly helped a neighbour get his large trailer out of their site. I overheard him asking/telling his wife what he expected her to do to guide him out of the tight spot. Thought … NAHHH … his expectations of her are unreasonable. I was right. It took much more than their combined trailer handling skills to extricate him.
Monday ; Sunny and very warm.
We drove into Palm Springs … Cathedral City, actually … this morning to run some errands and have lunch. Cathedral City is one of the nine interconnected cities that form the Palm Springs municipal area. Joanne had chosen a few different restaurants to try. All were closed ! Evidently the pandemic has been tough on the local restaurant industry. We ended up going for lunch at El Pollo Loco (translates as The Crazy Chicken), a Mexican chain of pollo asado / barbecued chicken restaurants, an old favourite of ours that we have not been to in a few years, since their Yuma location closed.
We shopped for groceries and supplies at Dollar Tree, the 99 Cent Only Store, and Cardenas, the local Mexican supermarket. WOO-HOO … nice pan dulce. We got home around 6 PM just as it became dark. Joanne put away our grocery purchases then we went for an exercise and soak session in the mineral hot and warm pools. AHHHHH !
Tuesday ; Sunny, warm, windy.
Did some minor maintenance on the truck today.
The Wi-Fi at this RV resort park improved significantly today. Don’t know why. Repaired something ? Updated something ?
Wednesday ; Sunny and very warm again, another lovely day in Palm Springs. Well … Desert Hot Springs, actually.
This morning for our early exercise walk we walked over to the east clubhouse on the other side of this RV resort park and made arrangements for a temporary mailbox here. Then to the front gate on the west side of the park for the weekly farmer’s market. Very nice produce from a local produce vendor. Bought beautiful huge strawberries, and lovely small Oyster Mushrooms. I will make Oyster Mushroom and Queso Fresco omelettes for supper tomorrow.
This afternoon I did an “improvement” project on the truck, and another one on the camper. Just before dusk we went to the west side mineral hot and warm pools to do a lengthy exercise and soak session. <taking deep breath> Could get used to this lifestyle!
After supper, Amazing Race.
Thursday ; Sunny and very warm.
We spent the afternoon running errands in Palm Springs / Palm Desert, including our first Trader Joe’s shopping trip in two years. WOO-HOO … peanut butter stuffed, chocolate coated pretzels !
For supper I made Oyster Mushroom, Crema Salvadoreña, and Queso Fresco omelettes. My omelette creations just keep getting better and better. HA HA HA !
Friday ; Sunny, very warm, extremely windy (hot, dry Santa Ana winds) in the afternoon.
“There ain’t no Coupe de Ville hidin’ at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box”.
R.I.P. Marvin/Michael Lee. You should have worn a mask … you idiot !
Tonight for supper I made excellent Scotch Eggs using ground turkey.
Saturday ; Sunny and very warm again.
<sigh> Discovered that one of the truck’s tires has a large screw in it <sigh>. Guess that explains why it’s been slowly losing air. Oh, well … better to have discovered it here and now while I have plenty of time to deal with it, and lots of options for where to have the problem dealt with. Better than ending up with a flat tire at dusk somewhere near Nowheresville, West Texas in a couple of months.
