The Jeep is Fixed.
On Thursday morning around 8:30, I towed the jeep to Best Auto Repair to get the Harmonic Balancer replaced. It’s just down the street, less than a mile away.
By about 11:00 we got a call from them saying that the jeep was ready. That was a lot quicker than I expected.
Returning Dave’s Jeep.
Patti went with me in Dave’s jeep to pick up our jeep. Once we got our jeep, Patti, driving Dave’s jeep, followed me to J&D’s where we returned their jeep. We visited for a while and then headed for Blythe.
Blythe and Verizon.
We got a new allocation of data from Verizon but after 6 days we had used up all 10 gigs plus 1 gig over usage.
We were shocked since we had just gotten the ten gigs and were being very careful regulating our internet use.
We decided to go to Blythe and talk to the people at Verizon.
After leaving Jo Ann and Dave’s, we drove to Blythe and the Verizon store.
We asked the people there, what the problem could be and they asked us if we had done any updates lately. Of course we had both done updates.
“That’s probably it”, the lady said. “We see that all the time.
Don’t use the ‘hot spot’ to do updates as it will use up all your
data. “
I guess from now on, we will refuse updates until we can get to the library or some where that has Wi-Fi.
As it turns out I will not be posting every day or even every other day for a while so hang in there.
Breakfast at the Bad Boys and Leftover Nopalito’s.
On Friday morning most of the Wednesday jeep group met at the Bad Boys Café for breakfast. Nancy and Rick came all the way down from Lake Havasu City to join us. It was good to see them.
Friday evening, we went to Cheryl and Dennis’s to have the Nopalito’s that were left over from Thanksgiving. Cheryl also made a Chille Relleno casserole.
It was a very good dinner with good company.
Back to Blythe.
On Saturday morning we went to Blythe to get some stuff for Christmas Eve dinner.
We went to; Smart and final, Albertsons and Rite Aid. As an after thought we went to The A&R Bakery and Deli to see if we could get a loaf of their Spiced Cranberry Bread. Unfortunately they were all sold out and wouldn’t have any more for a couple of hours as the loaves were in the oven.
Oh well, I guess we will have to come back next week. Maybe we can have lunch then too.
Christmas Eve Dinner.
The plan was to go to Becky and Dennis’s for a Prime Rib dinner/potluck.
All the folks in the Wednesday jeep group (except the ones that went home for Christmas) were to be there around 2:00.
At around 1:30 we got a call from Becky saying that the meat was already cooked and that we should get there before it got too cold.
We had everything in the jeep so in a few minutes we were on our way.
Once we were all there, the ladies set out all the food on a table outside.
The meat looked good.
We hung around outside for a while talking and having drinks.
Inside the room the tables were set awaiting the meal.
Soon we all filled our plates and sat down for a congenial Christmas Eve Dinner.
After dinner and after some of the people had left, the remainder of us sat around and played cards until around 6:00.
Christmas Day.
Christmas morning we went to X3 for breakfast. After breakfast we stopped by Debbie & Mo’s to visit and give them their Christmas card. They were just leaving when we showed up so we didn’t stay long.
We just goofed off for the rest of the day. At around 2:15 we headed back to X3 to have Christmas dinner with Jo Ann, Dave, Doris and Jim.
The Christmas dinner special was very good and very filling. There was a choice of a turkey dinner, a ham dinner or a combo of ham and turkey. Patti and I went with the combo. It included mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beans with bacon, yams, cranberry sauce, salad and a piece of pumpkin pie.
Okay that brings us up to date.
