New Things

Saturday: (06/08) A little work in the green house this morning while Lou, Dawn and our neighbor Meili were out exploring some of the many garage sales today. Today we received our new wireless home phone system. Our old ones just din't work anymore, rang nicely but usually couldn't be answered. The new one looks the same, same brand but newer technology including the ability to link our cell phones so at home all calls go through the house phones. Seems like a neat feature. Dawn and Courtney went out to a movie in the evening. Pepper-steak sandwich for breakfast. Donuts for lunch. Pepper-steak sandwich for dinner.

Sunday: (06/09) A donut snack to start the morning with tea in the back yard. Lou, Dawn and I jumped in the little car and drove up to Millbrea for breakfast at Neil's Restaurant. I had corned beef hash with eggs and pancakes while Dawn and Lou shared a spinach omelet. After breakfast we toured the Tanforan Mall. Lunch was ice cream cones at Burger King, 50 cents each. Next stop was at the Hillsdale Mall in San Mateo. At both Malls Lou was enjoying the ride in here little folding electric wheel chair. The new battery pack held up well and only discharged about half way touring two malls. We stopped in Redwood City at a thrift store and I checked around trying to find some of my favorite energy drink, Samba, but I had no luck finding any. We stopped for dinner at Chavez Market's taqueria for super nachos then went home. Busy day.

Monday: (06/10) I spent the morning cleaning up and organizing my shop so I can work there. Lou and Dawn were busy doing similar work in the house. We also rearranged the living room furniture. In the afternoon Lou had an appointment. Then we did a little shopping. We bought a new rug and TV for the living room. The TV is a big smart TV. After dinner we sampled the new TV by watching some Netflix movies. We also received the second set of replacement batteries for Lou's wheelchair. I fixed ham, eggs and home fried potatoes for breakfast. For lunch I had leftover nachos while Lou and Dawn had leftover oxtail stew. Dinner was BBQ ribs with baked potatoes and green beans.

Replacement RV Mirror Replacement RV Mirror
Tuesday: (06/11) I installed the replacement side mirror on the RV. The new one fit perfectly but it does have on problem. it makes the other one look so old. The new one is so shiny. With the mirror now operational, I took the RV out to get it's long delayed smog test. It was due in April. Lou made roast beef with eggs and potatoes for breakfast. Egg rolls and an avocado smoothie for lunch. Stuffed peppers with green beans, sliced peppers and quinoa for dinner.

Wednesday: (06/12) I started with a little work in the shop. I also scheduled the RV for a front end alignment tomorrow and the Jeep for some tires and a front end alignment Friday. Today, Dawn's friend Andrea and her friend Nicole stopped by for a visit. Cereal for breakfast. Lou and I had lunch at LUU Noodle House sharing our usual combination Chow Fun and an avocado smoothie. Dawn, Andrea and Nicole went out to lunch downtown. For dinner Lou made chicken spinach savory blintzes with a green salad followed with rice pudding.

Thursday: (06/13) I had an appointment at Ross Equipment in San Jose this morning to get the RV front end aligned. When we had the ball joints replaced last month in Panguitch, Utah they could align the front end. They found a torsion bar bolt loose and tightened it and that seemed to get rid of a recent noise at low speeds. In the evening Dawn went to a seminar at the Mountain View Library and I visited the IKEA store and Home Depot in East Palo Alto. Were looking for a new TV cabinet and IKEA had a couple that might work. Cereal for breakfast. Hometown buffet for my lunch, Super Taqueria quesodillas for Lou and Dawn. Dinner was leftovers for Lou and Dawn and a hot dog at IKEA for me.
