Arizona, Mesa - Sunday, March 29, 2015 - Val Vista Villages RV Resort

The weather is absolutely beautiful, running 15-17 degrees above normal.  It’s been 95 to 97 degrees this week.  Today the humidity was 5%.

 

 

We wore out the seat covers we bought back in 2010 and the black seats on the bike get pretty hot.  Couldn’t find the same type of covers so we got this fuzzy wool one – pretty comfortable.

On Thursday morning we had to go pick up my new glasses and we decided to stop in to see whether or not the “Hoosier Café” referred to Indiana Hoosiers.

We found out that the owner is from Fort Wayne and the waitress who served us was also from Fort Wayne.  Lots of Indiana memorabilia was on the walls.  I didn’t feel right snapping pictures over the heads of diners so this was the only picture I got.

Our (Greg’s) project for the weekend was getting the dimmer switches to work for the LED bulbs we installed to replace the conventional bulbs.  Conventional dimmer switches and LED bulbs don’t work well together, after a while the lights can start to flicker.  We saw the type of LED switch we needed at the Good Sam rally but the vender didn’t have any stock with him.  After a lot of muttering, Greg got it all back together and working right – I’m so lucky he is a handy man.

Instead of the table on the bed, the workbench this weekend was the dining room table.

This week is a big celebration week, lots of people getting ready to head back home.  Thursday was the Managers Happy Hour.  Free food, free beer and free wine and two bands really packed them in.  We went up an hour before the festivities were supposed to start and couldn’t find a seat.  The courtyard was full.

 

And the ballroom was full.

Lots of nautical and pirate decorations all around.

 

 

 

 

The couple standing up are Jodi and Kerry, the resort managers.  There were lots of pirates and their wenches, they were definitely the best looking ones.

 

 

Everyone is waving at a drone going over – never heard if it belonged to someone in the resort or if someone outside was snooping.  All they found out was that old people can really party J.

 

 

On Friday there was a big pool party.  These people are participating in a “frozen t-shirt contest”.  T-shirts were wadded up and frozen in water.  Each person on a team of four had to thaw out their t-shirt using only body parts and then put it on.  The first team to have all four members in t-shirts was the winner.  Too bad they had to use body parts because if they could have laid the shirts on the concrete they would have thawed right away.
