It's December here in Tucson. Thanksgiving leftovers gone and everyone is decorating for Christmas. This weekend we're told we're experiencing a Tucson winter. Yesterday was a high in the mid 50s and rainy. We see pictures where it snowed on Mt Lemmon, but we can't see it from the park. Today it's sunny and low 60s for a high. Out low tonight is supposedly below 40. Back to 70s for highs and 40s for lows beginning Monday.
Donna and I continue to sit in dentist's chairs a lot. I'm almost done. Donna's got a couple of more visits. We've gotten out to Lemmon Mountain & Tombstone plus the west unit of Saguaro NP. We're having work done on our bicycles. New tubes, tires, and tube protectors to help out with "goat heads" (overgrown sand spurs that go through bicycle tires and tubes with ease.) Those "goat heads" go through walking shoes, too!
Local Ford dealer was able to fix two recalls. We now have a new driveshaft and a new backup camera (both on recall for over a year with no parts available). Nice to be able see out of the backup camera, again. The local Ford dealer rented us a F150 hybrid. Nice truck and the hybrid worked pretty much seamlessly. It was also nice to run down an interstate at 75 mph and get 23 miles to the gallon.
We've got plans to get out and visit Stan & Sam and Calvin (all volunteers who we worked with in the past). Donna will sign us up this week for the Christmas luncheon. Suppose to be a brass ensemble here Tuesday, so we'll probably go to that. Otherwise, we're in our winter routine.
That pretty much gets everyone up to date with us. Thanks for dropping by. Pictures follow, David
