I literally did a Happy Dance at the Doctor's office!

Tuesday morning after visiting with our online friends and getting some showers and breakfast we took ourselves out to Reno. Had a good drive there.  We headed for Total Wine first where I had placed an online order. Easy.  Then on to Sierra RV to see about making an appointment to have our Jayco looked at for the heater/ac.  They are about a month out but found us and appointment for May 15th. They told us they'd have it about a week and we need it for the end of the month.  Ok as long as we have it back to travel to CA for graduations.  

Broccoli crust pizza..Ken's top..olives, oysters, mushrooms and cheese
Mine veggie and shredded cheese..

A little extra..with turkey, asparagus, mushroom..

We had some great thunder and lightning! 

After cooking..

On to Winco where we left a sizable donation but we sure got a lot more food there than anywhere else!  At that point we decided to drive over to Carson City and have lunch at our favorite Chinese place. Yum.  I still stuck to just the meat and veggies. Rice came home for Jack and lots of leftover chicken. 

Ken wanted to drive home from there, so I read my book on the way home. We dropped off some beer we picked up for Karen and went home to unload the goodies. 

We finished off the pizza for dinner as neither of us were really hungry! It was delicious! 


Wednesday morning we sat the alarm so we could finish getting things ready to head out to Winnemucca. We knew we wanted to be there for our 1300 lunch. Not a problem we pulled into the New Frontier RV Park about 1230.  At the front desk we asked if they had any recommendations for a Mobile RV guy, thinking maybe we could get the problem taken care of without leaving the RV for a week or more. We called Jesse after we got ourselves parked in spot #43.  New Frontier is a Passport America park. You can stay for 2 nights for 1/2 price.  In this case it cost us $39.00 for 2 nights. In the winter it's about $20.00 for 2 nights.  It's a wonderful park with full hookups, picnic tables, bathrooms, showers and beautifully landscaped sites.  There is a Wingers within walking distance (but we weren't impressed the last time we were there).   

Gotta love our rural Nevada traffic

The view from our campsite!

Jesse came about 1630 and worked like crazy on the Jayco. It wasn't the thermostat like we originally thought.  He traced the problem to the unit underneath the love seat and it was a circuit breaker type switch.  Long story short he worked about 4 hours with very little breaks.  He and Ken got along famously...so there was some chit chat involved LOL>.
In the end after 4 hours he charged us $270.00.  We gave him $300.00 as we both knew it would have cost a lot more than that at Sierra RV.  Their hourly rates for VIPS..(people who bought their RV there) are $139.00 an hour!!! Jesse was only $50.00 with a call out fee of something.  I would definitely reccommend him to anybody!! 

Here's where the problem is under
the loveseat..

Jesse and Ken talking..they got along
really well..LOL! 

River level is high!

Beautiful mountains surround Winnemucca

Winnemucca has always been a very patriotic town..attracted us to
it from the first time we came through..

Thought this was great..an oldie but goodie!

He left nearing 2100.  We had a couple of beer and wines and called it a night..way too late for dinner. 

This morning (Thursday) we woke ourselves up and got up nearing 0640!  It was a good night's sleep for sure.  I always tend to sleep well in the trailer.  Coffee, computing and breakfast.  We were ready to head out the door around 1020.  We got to the Dr's office early but had some paper work to fill out.  Got in right on time and of course the dreaded scale...Got up there and then DID A HAPPY DANCE!! Literally, I couldn't help myself!! 16 pounds gone since the last appointment.  A few more to go and I think I'll be happier! Dr. Robbie Grant came in and it was all good news!Glucose was so much better than last time, it was nearing diabetes stage, way below now!  Cholesterol all good! Keep up the good work and see you in 6 months.  That's the only thing I got in trouble for hahah..because it had been longer than the 6 months.

We celebrated by heading for Parker's Model T Restaurant.  I still got rid of the bread and treated myself to 3 french fries. The chicken sandwich was delicious. Ken had a patty melt which looked awesome too. Back to camp and he's headed over to visit Ranger, Dana's brother who moved here a couple of years ago. So I am enjoying myself in the trailer enjoying the warmer temps. 

I messaged daughter in law Lori this am just to check on dates of graduations and parties etc.  Haven't heard, but she does work during the day so this afternoon I called Cal Expo and reserved for the week things are happening. Glad I did as they are almost fully booked. End of the month will be here before we know it! 

Christina had some senior pics taken and here's just a sampling of my faves..:) 

Seth, Christina, Eric and Mason :) 

Love this pic of the two brothers :)

Seth and his baseball uniform..

I love this one with that little grin! :) 

Tomorrow morning we'll head home and hopefully the weather warms even more! Have a good evening everyone!
