July 2, 2007 we are now at Thousand Trails Soledad Canyon in Acton Calif. we got here late yesterday afternoon.
Last Thursday we took the motor home into Cummins for it's yearly physical, you know oil change, engine check ect. we got it back around 3 pm and got on the road to Simi Valley. We parked in front of Brad and Diane's house, they had gone the day before and got us a parking permit for the time we would be there. Friday was body violation day for Dave and I, it started off at 8:30 am with me having to go have a mammogram. There is nothing better to start your day with having some female technician playing around with your boobs and getting them smashed by a machine. Then at 10 a.m. Dave and I had appointments for our yearly physicals, got I hate those stir ups. We didn't get out of there until 12:30 and since we had to fast for the physicals we were starving, so straight to a restaurant for breakfast/lunch. The rest of the day we just did some running around, then at 5pm we were over to John and Amy's who live next door to our old house. We stayed and visited for a while, the construction work they are having done is still going on but what is done is just beautiful. The contractor they have had said he would get the work done in 4 months but now it's been 1 year and 4 months. They kept adding stuff on to the job so it's not all the contractors fault, but for most of the job it's only been the contractor he doesn't have any employees. He does do excellent work but that's just too long for me to have my house torn up.
Saturday, Dave and Brad went boat diving off of Anacapa Islands and didn't get back until after 6pm, they had left at 5 a.m., so needless to say they were very tired. They said the weather was perfect and they had a good time on the 3 dives they went on, they passed on one of the dives because Dave was a little tired. On Saturday morning I took off and went and had my nails done and a pedicure. After that Diane and I went shopping at costco and after dropping off the stuff we took off and went to lunch. Then we drove to the golf course where the wedding will be so Diane could see the place then we went and looked at the model homes that are around that area. Pretty cheap, not, starting at 1.4 million the sales lady told us that they are also offering a 60K credit that we could use anyway that we wanted, you know for the loan or landscape work ect. she must have thought we were a couple lesbians because when we left she said she would like to see us in one of those houses. After that I dropped Diane back off at the house picked up Valentine and headed for Joann's house to visit with Vickey. Joann was gone to Palmdale so Vickey was there having a little pool party with Rene, Diane and Tony. I stayed for a couple hours then headed back to Diane's. When the boys got back we headed for El Patio and had a grand old time.
Brad and Diane on Sunday were going to the family storage locker and cleaning it out and moving everything to Simi and we told them we would help them out. Brad had rented a big U -haul truck on Friday so at least we would have that. Luckily Phil, showed up too, we had no idea how much stuff was in that storage locker. (Phil works for Brad and plus he is the one that took the diving lessons with Dave) I won't go into details but Brad's little brother was in charge of the locker and he is a drug attack and it was just full of shit. Because Brad and his sister's name were on the lease he had to clean it out because the bill hadn't been paid for almost a year. We ended up leaving at 6am and by noon Dave and I had to leave but at least we were almost done putting everything in Simi so Brad can go thru all the shit. When Dave and I left we had to go pick up my wedding ring at the jewelers, one of the diamonds had fallen out, then go by Jodi's sister's house because they were having Riley's birthday party there. We stayed maybe 1/2 hour at the party then got back hooked up the car to the RV and hit the road for where we are now. You know thank goodness we hurried up and got here to Acton because the weather is just about ready to kill us. Let's see today it is 102, our air conditioner can only keep the inside 20 degrees cooler then it is outside Dave said. Plus, at Thousand Trails most of the sites are only 30 amp, so we can't even run both air conditioners, and to do laundry you have to start it at 5 am before the air conditioner kicks on or else we have to turn the generator on. I think that's about it for now, I'm all caught up again, will write later.
