the sun shines most every day and that is good for the spirit.We noticed one of the rear tires was flat. We called the road service and they sent out someone to install the spare. We do not know why it went flat as it was alright when we arrived here in Mesa.
It was time for new tires anyway as the old ones were the originals when the unit was delivered. I made a few calls trying to locate new Michlein tires, my preference, and learned that they were on back order as they were not producing them at this time. I talked with Redburn Tire Co. and they had 1 in stock. They checked and found 3 more at their store in Tucson and had them delivered here.
On Tuesday we went to Phoenix to have them installed. A costly project, but they really look good. I went from F to G load range, which will carry more weight at a lower pressure for a better ride. The spare is still an original Goodyear tire but it has a lot more tread and will serve as a spare for a long time to come. It is under the coach and out of the sunlight so it will not deteriorate as one out in the elements.
The whole state of Arizona is still in shock due to the shooting in Tuscon. I am not sure what the impact was on the rest of the country, but it is still tops on the news and probably will be for time to come. Certainly a tragedy for this community, city, state and nation.
We will be heading for Quartzsite on Saturday for a week or so to be with the amateur radio group and then we will go to Palm Springs on Friday the 28th for the hamfest on the 29th. Then we will be coming back to Mesa for a couple of weeks before heading to Texas.
Our photo is out our dining room window at a pretty sunset which occurs when we have a few clouds in the sky. Generally when the sky is clear there is no color, only light until the sun goes over the horizon and then it is dark in just a few minutes.
