We started out the week with a pretty easy drive from California to Tucson on Sunday and were able to validate that I10 in Arizona tied for the most bumpy road with I10 between Midland and Odessa. Poor Little Al just needs to be superglued back together…cabinets, dishes, water pipes and any other thing thatContinue reading “Tucson Time”

The weather here the last couple of days has been fabulous so we took advantage for another day of golf on Friday then an Art Show in La Quinta, CA on Saturday. To offset the great meals we’ve enjoyed in the area we have taken many long walks. Unfortunately, the great meals are winning andContinue reading “California Dreamin”

For the last two days we’ve had a beautiful sunny day followed by a misty rainy day, we took advantage of the sunny day and “managed” with the crummy day. On Wednesday we made a tee time at Shadow Hills Golf Club in Indio, based on the prices we assumed was a regulation course. AsContinue reading “Sun and Rain Days”

We left Phoenix on Monday and took Little Al as far west as he will ever go, he finally was able to get his California sticker. He keeps bragging that he is going to get his Hawaii sticker but I just don’t see it happening. I don’t have the heart to tell him so IContinue reading “Made It To Cali”

After the excitement of watching golf, and setting a record for most beers I’ve consumed in one day, we took it easy the last couple of days. We have… Visited a flea market we stumbled on. Gone back to Old Scottsdale in search of…really not sure what we were in search of? Made our annualContinue reading “Chill Days”

The last two days have been about what Joan and I call golf, then watching real golf at the Phoenix Open. Apparently if you want a tee-time this time of year you have to make it at least two weeks in advance, we did not. We ended up playing at Sunland Spring Golf Course inContinue reading “Golf…Then Real Golf”

Question – What is Joanie’s favorite Whitesnake song? Right, turns out my girl is a “headbanger”…not the country girl I thought I was getting. Yes, we listened to a lot of music on the way, and 1 audiobook. Anyway, here we go again. We left Dallas Sunday morning for a 3-4 week tour west andContinue reading “Answer – Here I Go Again”

It’s been a few minutes since we’ve been out in Little Al, about 4 months to be exact…time to take the little fella out! Since we’ve taken our last trip: Hurricane Helene scared us back to Texas. College football became my passion. I lost my passion for college football, for this year. I am closeContinue reading “We’re Coming Little Al!”

We spent our last day in Mystic, CT checking out the historic local scene then heading to bankrupt the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket. Turns out they have more money than us so the lights were still on when we left, maybe next time. Overall we had a great trip, we’ll take Little Al backContinue reading “Made It Home”

It’s tough to complain about the hot weather when the hot weather is in the 80’s, but as a professional cool weather chaser I must. Our plan, our only plan, was to visit Acadia National Park then work our way back home while enjoying comfortable weather along the way. The hot temps and swarming touristContinue reading “Hot Times at The Festival”
