Back in Alabama

Posted on March 1, 2014 by Barry

Although the hotel room was fine, and newly furnished, it was lacking a few essentials. The internet has already been mentioned, but this morning we discovered there were no shower towels! Oh well, we can always open the truck windows … Continue reading →

Note… Check-lists are There for a Reason

Posted on March 1, 2014 by Barry

Cool night, dipping down to about 3C, then a nice clear morning climbing to the mid-teens. After breakfast I started on disassembling all the electronics and satellite stuff. I couldn’t possibly do that last night as someone wanted Grey’s Antimony … Continue reading →

No change to the weather, warm air and blue skies. Life is so difficult. As is usual the morning is spent waking up, quilting, computing etc! Once that was done we headed off to walk the “big loop”.  In previous … Continue reading →

Six-for-Six

Posted on February 24, 2014 by Barry

Another warm night, although quite overcast when we got up. After breakfast Lyn did some quilting while I hit e-bay looking for a replacement for our super-duper-does-everything remote for the entertainment systems. It has been getting a little finicky lately, … Continue reading →

Rain, Rain, Go Away

Posted on February 23, 2014 by Barry

Not too bad this morning, mid-teens when we woke up and a little bit of blue sky. Unfortunately the forecast was not very good…rain. After breakfast I headed off to get some quadcopter flying in. I’ve had better days, for … Continue reading →

Posted on February 22, 2014 by Barry

Cloudy and a little cooler this morning, but the clouds quickly gave way to blue skies.  Lyn settled down to some quilting after breakfast, and I did a little maintenance and then some work on the finances…. very depressing! After … Continue reading →

Out With a Bang.

Posted on February 21, 2014 by Barry

Woke up to a hot and sticky morning, with the temperature already over 21°C. Mid morning we decided to get in our daily exercise as the sky was looking pretty ominous to the west. As we were walking I suggested that … Continue reading →

And Again

Posted on February 20, 2014 by Barry

Yet another wake up to blue skies and warmth, so much so that my shorts were brought out of hiding. That’s probably jinxed the good weather. This morning we hung around the resort doing mundane things like flushing out the … Continue reading →
