Arizona, Mesa - Sunday, March 8, 2015 - Val Vista Villages RV Resort

The project for this weekend was putting a swivel mount on the TV in the outside entertainment center.  The stationary mount it came with was good but the way we are parked now means the sun shines on the TV in the afternoon – not good if we want to enjoy the wonderful weather we are having here now.  Since there is a limited amount of space in the entertainment center area Greg had to find a mount that didn’t stick out very far.  However, even though the mount was slim the TV was still too fat.  Off to Wal-Mart to get a skinny TV.  We probably got a lot of funny looks coming back home on the motorcycle with me on the back holding a 32” TV in front of me.  I couldn’t see over the box so I was oblivious to any stares.

 

 

The area under the table is where my spice rack is usually.  That had to come out so he could get to the TV works.

 

 

The new mount works great and the whole thing fits in the space with a little room to spare.

On Friday we had tickets to watch a Cubs spring training game.  The weather was windy but in the high 70’s.  This is the entry drive to Sloan Park.

We were able to park up close.

The park opened last year and is really nice.

 

 

 

I didn’t realize there had been so many Cubs logo changes since 1908.

 

 

 

This was just the second game but a big crowd was anxious to get in.

 

 

The wind was pretty fierce in the upper level, but down where our seats were we didn’t notice it much.  They made an announcement that it was 75 degrees in Phoenix and 25 degrees in Chicago.

Our seats were three rows up from the third base line.  It was a good thing we didn’t have first row seats, we would have been trampled by autograph seekers before the game started.

 

 

The Cubs were playing the Reds.

 

 

The new mascot “Clark” was moving around pretty quickly so it was hard to get a good picture.

Our seats were just seven seats from the Cubs dugout, looked like they had everyone present for the game.
