Good Morning! Great Bargain!!

Been a week since the last post. In this past week, we left Quartzsite and set up in Phoenix. We are camped next to friends who have moved to Phoenix. Nice having friends around. This park is noisy! We are in the front row on a major road. Traffic all night. Plus is next to a friend, negative is noise. We are only here a few weeks, we can deal with it.


Been working at the main store in Arizona, filling in for the guys away at the big show in New Mexico. Not too busy, but enough to keep us going. Big advantage to being at the store is getting some things done. For instance, our freezer is very small. We can't really stock up on frozen items. So, we decided to get some sort of freezer, either a small home style and put it in the trailer, or get an RV style, runs AC or DC that will fit in a storage bay. As our luck (and you know who) would have it, the store had a 'take out', or an item that was in a coach being sold that the customer did not want, in the shed. A new, although some slight scratches, cooler/freezer. I was able to buy it at about 25% of the retail price. This will work as a cooler or a freezer depending on the thermostat setting. This was a major find. With grocery stores an hour away, a good freezer is invaluable.


We have a large shopping list to get items we will need for the summer. Items we didn't just naturally have or have with us. Hiking boots. Haven't had any for quite awhile, so a trip to Cabellas was in order. Sleeping bag. Need one for our courses, and a bag is always handy to have around. Got these items the other night, and had a really cool vsit to the store. Cabellas is like LL Bean up in Freeport, or Bass Pro Shop. Huge, every outdoor activity imaginable. Fun place. Hard to leave without spending a chunk.


Well, three more days on the sales lot, then quick fligt to Florida and back, a couple days hre and we hit the road!
