We woke up about 0500 yesterday (Saturday) morning. Had our coffees and checking in with our blogging friends. A nice leisurely morning. We ventured to the garage to use the treadmill. Ken goes first, sets up a little heater and warms up the treadmill. Thinking we're gonna need a new one soon, as this one might kill us. It has a mind of its own as when it wants to stop and go. We just hold on tight!
Made Ken a mushroom and olive omelet for breakfast and I had yogurt with fruit and a half slice of toast with peanut butter. Once that was done, on with the rest of the day.

| Mountains there too... |
It was cold, around 40 degrees with a wind chill of 33 and boy were the winds a howling! Lots of the fields around us are plowed waiting for a few weeks to be planted again so the dust is amazing! Finally, around 1700 the winds died down pretty good.
I ran to the Scolari's in town and picked up a few groceries. While I was there I saw that Red Box had the movie Bad Moms Christmas so spent the $1.61 and picked it up.

Made up our salad stuff for lunch and then I went out to the trailer to strip the bed and clean the refrigerator. Ken had been unloading the truck and some stuff in his section of the trailer. He also re winterized it (good thing with the temps this morning).
After lunch we continued with our little chores and agreed to meet at 1500 to watch the movie. It's pretty funny, even though language is a little crass at times.
Ken got the bar b q ready and cooked up some boneless pork chops. I made some asparagus and a baked potato to compliment. Yummy dinner.
We called it a night pretty early and watched some tv in bed for a bit.
Up at 0500 this morning (Sunday) and our regular visiting with friends. We've got a breakfast date with our neighbors minus Joe, as he's working in Winnemucca. It'll be nice to catch up with Stacey, her mom, Susan and little Rylee. Plus the food is awesome and none of us have to cook.
Have a wonderful day and stay safe if you're traveling!
Sounds like you are settling in as you should. Staying warm does not seem to be a problem with your heaters and fireplace. You are die hard barbecuers, EH? Had to throw that Canadian euphemism in there!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy breakfast!
Haha..Ken is, and if it's warm enough I'll sit with him while he does it. Not last night though..Love the EH? We love our neighbors and really enjoy the conversation it just flows, like with you guys! :)
DeleteYou are enjoy it there for the time being and keeping nice and warm in the process. Good idea to re winterize for now, nice that you have no snow.
ReplyDeleteWe do enjoy our time here, do miss the people and the warm temps though!
DeleteUnless you have to go back to work I can't understand why you headed back home so soon. The Jet Steam is going to drop giving you and even Quartzsite cooler temperatures.
ReplyDeleteBe Safe and Enjoy your family time.
It's about time.
Rick no work, but we have to get our tax stuff together and get it out to Winnemucca before we can head to Tennessee. If it wasn't for that we would have made it one long trip..have to see if we can figure something different next year. Our tax stuff hadn't come in by the time we left home to head for Q and we didn't want to miss Bloggerfest this year. That's the main reason. You guys enjoy too!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had just tad bit of wind and a little dust. Even though it is cold it sounds like you two are all cozy warm in your home. Well, except when Ken has to head out to barbecue...lol.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, you can figure out something different for the tax thing next year and are able to stay where it is warmer.
One other thing I forgot to say thank you for the invite to park in your driveway if we are in your vicinity. It is nice to know we have that wonderful option.
Of course we mean it, you are always welcome here, we'll make it work! He loves to bar b q..we certainly prefer when we can stay outside to do it..but it works. It is nice to be home for a bit..
DeleteBrrrrr...that's cold. Glad you're tucked in safe and sound and not driving in that windy/dusty conditions.
ReplyDeleteI hope the BBQ is at least out of the wind and Ken doesn't have to freeze out there cooking.
My treadmill used to stop on it's on with no warning too. According to the service fella it needed to be oiled. I don't recall it ever speeding up on it's own though so maybe that piece of information was useless.
Stay warm.
Thanks for the tip on the treadmill, I know he's done a few things to it, but maybe lubing it would help. He's got a windbreak for the bar b q set up, but it can get pretty cold, but he loves to do it!
