Good mornooning everyone.

I have caught up at last! I shall be off for a swim shortly, but first I must book myself in to the physio and my car in to the garage because it has been recalled by Ford for a potential clutch problem.

Not see you all later. Happy Wednesday :)
Enjoy the swim - make sure you don't book yourself into the garage and the car for the physio.;)
Although I think I could use a garage with a body repair shop!:)
Happy Wednesday to you too!

Good mornooning, roommates! Wibble! ;)
Looking forward to one of Carol's amazing summaries, or a collaborative effort because I've missed a couple hundred pages of my CDR life... Any takers? ;)
I'll bombard you with pictures a bit later. For now, it's just good to not-see you all again. ;) Happy belated Easter. But there'll be another one this coming Sunday.
Welcome back Lena!:)
Belated Easter Greetings to you too.
Looking forward to seeing the pics.

Oh yes be careful with that!
When we compensate for an injury it really can affect other parts!
Just ask my knee - it will answer - one click for yes two for no!!:)

I have loud clicks and clunks from both knees now too. We could make some sort of percussion section for a band perhaps?

Hmmm, I’ve never been to Havasu but I’ll try to see if friends have. What a fun trip to plan! It’s about 7 hours from me and I haven’t been to the Grand Canyon in 20yrs.

I have never been! It’s about 16hrs from us. I did lots of researching last night and I think I’m going to have to pick a different spot. It’s too remote for the kids. A three day rafting trip to get to the creek I wanted to see.... hubby and I will have to do that solo.. I think I’m going to look at Oklahoma..

It will be about 120 there in the summer.
My friend just back packed in Havasupai. I don’t know where they stayed.

Gorgeous! I had not decided weather to book rooms or take the camper... either way, I think it’s just too much for the younger family members...I really want to explore that village though!

Oh shame. Well I hope that they get it right. But if they did not care to do it properly the first time I don't think the second time will last long.

I sure hope that’s not the case for the dragons sake.... but kids are fickle about pets.. I’d buy my 5yr old a pet WAYYYY before my 16yr old... learned lessons [emoji16]

You could attach one of these Ceramic Sockets to the roof, have your wire lead attached to it. It’s very easy.

Since it is outside, id have the wires connect from one of the sides (or back side), have enough slack in the wire so lid easily lifts.

That was what I was thinking too. Just have to get the cord to go inside without having to leave a window open. As I do not have an electrical outlet outside. I am hoping to get home tonight before the sun goes down so I can take pics for all of you.

Hhmmm. A good start might be looking into a permanent external electrical outlet. Short term, out the window. But for safety concerns Id check into a permanent fix. Good luck.

Cathie has been reminding me, but just haven't been able to get to it. I will try a little later. As I will need to sit and compile one for the both of you. And I will try and insert a little madness in there for the crazy people.;)
The absolute minority crazy people you mean surely! Wibble ;)

It's funny... Some trips you really want to take when kids are certain ages. Too young for some destinations or activities, and they won't be able to fully appreciate it...and neither will you, if they don't enjoy. Too old for certain places and activities, and they'll have already lost the sense of magic that makes it so much fun, being able to see it through their eyes.

So I have seen numerous people go on and on about water. So I asked a buddy that has a salt wall- 8'x12 with like 6 or 8 huge tanks with all kinds of "delicate stuff". He showed me his filtration room since we were in the tank room- some people would call this a dining room. He ran his pipes through the wall to the two car garage and set up something I have only ever seen at real Aquariums. He even has a med tank ready and waiting and back up UBS to give him a buffer to get generator going. SOOO please dont worry becuase you can't obsess about the water too much!!!!
