Town bound.....

 7:26 am - Thursday - February 26th - TWW - 42° F, humidity 42%, cloud cover 30%, wind 4 mph out of the east by southeast.....partly cloudy today with a forecast high of 71° F.  The view this morning....



....and on this date in 2019 I had just arrived home from Flagstaff Medical Center where I had a benign cyst removed from my right cheek.....its formal name was a parotid cyst (saliva gland)....

Before....

....after

...and once again my face had symmetry.  Can't believe it has already been 7 years.  Seriously, it does not feel that long.  I was just 69 then, and now I'm heading rapidly toward my 77th birthday.

We hadn't been to Seligman in over a week as of Wednesday, and we had mail/packages stacking up in our PO Box, so a little after 10 am we were in the Explorer making the 30 minute drive into town.  Our first stop was the local Family Dollar where TLE went shopping while I walked next door to to the Post Office to pickup our mail/packages.  By the time I returned TLE was about ready to check out....aren't we efficient.

Next up was a stop at Seligman Market to buy some produce, and then over to Highway Hot Dog for some coffee and Gelato (double chocolate for moi, and lemon pie for TLE).  The temp was in the mid 60's and it was sunny, so we sat outside.....


They have a low budget Police Department in Seligman....lol.



YUM!

.....we sat enjoying our gelatos, and coffees, and talking about this and that as we always do until a tad after 12 pm when we decided it was time to head back to TWW.  We arrived right at 12:30 pm, and quickly unloaded our purchases, and packages.  One of the packages was new seat covers for the Yamaha Rhino.  The ones on it were the originals and they were falling apart, so I ordered some new ones off Amazon for about $30......


......they are basically 'slip covers' and I was able to install them in just a few minutes.

As you can see in the background we ran our 175' of fresh water hose from the greenhouse over to the Newell to refill our fresh water tank (down to 60 gallons after 9 days), and dump our black tank.  In all it takes us about 35-40 minutes to do the deed, and we're set for another 8-10 days.  Once that was done I finished putting the seats with the new seat covers back in the Rhino, and retired to my anti gravity chair to nap and read away the rest of the afternoon.

By 4 pm I was indoors have taco salad for dinner....another house favorite, and then spent a few hours reading before it was time for bed.  Thursday we'll be back to work around the property, so stop by tomorrow to see what we get done, and, as always, thanks for stopping by today!
