Day Two in the Hotel

It’s official we’d rather be in a RV than a Hotel.. We are hoping the RV will be finished Thursday than we can get out if here. Sure being able to take long hot showers is nice, but the dogs can hear people walking and talking down the halls, having to walk them out past others who fear them just due to their size.

Solar controller update; the AIM Solar Power Solutions controller was supposed to come in this week. Today we where informed that they are out of stock on that controller, we may not be able to get one until the end of the month…

The RV AKA “The Beast” is getting new brakes, maybe rotors they are going to try to turn them, transmission, brake flush, wheel bearings packed and an oil change. Statkus Engines Service Center

Night in a Hotel

The Beast (Class A) is in the shop getting brakes, oil change, tranny flush and few other maintenance things done. While work is being done we are staying at a hotel. Not sure yet of our feelings of being in a hotel…

Winds and more winds

Wind, wind and more wind.. While the new solar system is again on hold while we wait to hear on getting a different AIM Solar Power Solutions controller due to it not working. 
We are dealing with winds up to 45 mph, which is preventing us from doing much outside…

Daily update

Most of the mowing is finished.. we plan on adding a couple more RV pull thru in area of first picture. One left we are going to put a spot for buses, coaches.

Circle (second picture) is finished, we made the fire pit circle bigger, still working on getting all weeds/grass out if the part we extended. The idea is that it should be as barefoot safe as any sandy place (still at your own risk). The cactus garden is growing and doing good (maybe next year we’ll have prickly pear fruit)! I’ll get pictures as soon as can!

Plateau Hame De Colquhoun once again is mostly booked up for the weekend. We are now rated as a star host highest rating for the platform.. Fingers crossed we keep staying booked up!
