Arizona, Mesa - Sunday, February 15, 2015 - Val Vista Villages RV Resort

I’ve been saying for some time that I was going to do something about a couple of problems with our bedspread.  One is the way the corners stick out, not a big problem but they take up some of the “visual” space.

 

 

The tailored corners were my solution to that one.

The other problem is this – it is very hard to get the sheet, blanket and bedspread all tucked into the tight space between the bed and the cabinet beside it.  Most of the time I don’t even try, I just fold them all back halfway neatly and put all the pillows on the bed.  But, sometimes I like to do what Greg calls “make the fancy bed” where everything is all pulled up and tucked in neatly.

 

 

The solution to this one is going to take more time than the tailored corners.  It will involve taking out a part of the bedspread corner and then binding an inside corner.  So, more on this to come.

We’ve talked before about getting a patio screen, but it wasn’t a priority until the sun started messing with Greg being able to watch the outside TV J.  I know you folks up north don’t want to hear this, but it also helps cut down the heat – it’s been in the low to mid 80’s for a while now.

 

 

We got the motorcycle back late yesterday, the problem was caused by a faulty TCA pin – something to do with the throttle.  The pin was $7.00, labor was $150.00 for knowing where to put the pin.  It seems to be running fine now.  We took a short ride after we visited the Commemorative Air Force Museum here in Mesa.

 

 

This is a McDonald F-4N, “Phantom II”, a fighter aircraft that was the workhorse of the Viet Nam conflict.

 

 

Many other of the planes on display were from the WWII era.

 

 

We saw a rescue plane just like this one when we were in Sioux Falls, SD.

Lots of work going on in the restoration area.

We were able to go inside this WWII C-47 troop carrier.  Greg said he didn’t think it looked like this when troops were being transported.

 

 

This 1939 Spartan Executive originally owned by Standard Oil really caught my eye.

The 1939 Stinson Model SR-10G “Gullwing” was beautifully done.
