A Mundane Few Days

I looked at our blog today, and realized I hadnt posted since Monday.  Time continues to fly by!  We havent done much of anything exciting this week.  Ann needed to go into Scottsdale on Tuesday for a
Business Analyst meeting.  A drive that should have taken an hour and a half, took two and a half hours because some poor soul decided to walk across Interstate 10 at a place we needed to pass by on our way to Scottsdale.  Our solution, along with hundreds, if not thousands, of others, was to exit the interstate and take a surface streets to where Ann needed to go.  Not sure we could have done anything that would have made it faster, but it reminded me of why I hate driving in a city at rush hour.

On Wednesday after work Ann went into Phoenix to meet with a couple of business analysts that work for company does that does business with the company she works for. This trip to and from the city was uneventful and she had a great time meeting and visiting with some compatriots.

Today(Thursday) the TV was on about noon tuned to SpeedTV on Directv to watch the Dual 125s from Daytona Speedway.  The races were pretty good, and it nice to see a clean finish, and not have cars go upside down and every which way as we have seen in the past. Tomorrow, Saturday, and Sunday will also be filled with watching racing from Daytona.  The NASCAR Season has begun!

Speaking of NASCAR , we have purchased tickets and a camping spot for the NASCAR race in Las Vegas the weekend of the 26th through the 28th.  Ebay can be a wonderful thing!  The track will let people come into the camping area starting Noon on Monday, and we can stay till Noon the following Monday.  After we leave Las Vegas we are planning to head south to the Yuma area.

On another topic. Today I was thinking about the process we use to level the motorhome when we park.  Our Winnebago Voyage has an onboard leveling system made by HWH of Moscow Iowa.

 It has leveling indicators, but we dont find them to be very accurate, so we have developed supplemental methods of leveling.

One of them is using a small level on the counter.

 

Another method of leveling is the water in the frying pan on the stove method.

 

The final test of level is to use the bedroom and the bathroom door test.  We set the doors in different positions, and if they stay put, and if they dont try to open or close, we then decide the motothome is level.

That is about it for now.
