It's a bit toasty in the summer, though it has a bit of altitude so is usually 5 degrees less than Tucson. I think I could live there too. Wanted to spend a winter month or so down there with the RV, but didn't work out.
Eric,
Beautiful home in Arizona just too dry for me!! I'm use to the heat and humidity...floods and the occasional hurricanes!!
Tim,
Wife is making a chicken and sausage gumbo today..charbroiled oysters which my son in law will handle and I'll make fried oyster Po-boy sandwiches. Maybe wash it down with a beer or two!!
WOW great place Eric, love the architecture, I think I could live there
Only thing bad down here Gerry is I have to drive 400 miles to see anything resembling a mountain! Highest point in Louisiana is only 500 ft!! We do have lots of water...
Don I'm at ~600 ft here in North Bay, lots of lakes & mountains/big hills are out my back door,
I guess I'm just ready for a change ...... my feet are cold all winter

If it wasn't toasty, I could certainly live there. No wonder it sold so fast and at asking.
This has been a really warm/easy winter in Anchorage. Down over 2 feet of snow for the season and no real long stretch of sub zero temps. Except for one day, roads have been decent.
Nice dinner there Paws. Wish my kids were as active as your grandkids.
Iowa - Soon you'll be getting ready to plant, I imagine?
Gerry - Happy your least favorite season is almost over.
Morning gang. After two VERY long nights at work, yesterday was absolutely beautiful..until 6 when the rains came, but we hit 75* in most places although my reading here was 73. Too nice a day to sleep it away(which I needed, but!) so I changed the oil and fuel filter in my Excursion then began to tinker with a sagging door on the Montana. Both Sandpipers and this Montana have all had screen doors that drag on the latch side and after I added the Optix plexiglass last year, it's gotten a bit worse. Then I added the MorRyde steps which made it have less clearance, so time to play. I took the door down and took out the sweep at the bottom of the door. This added some clearance, but it was still sagging, so I went to the hardware store looking for the turnbuckles like my parents and grandparents had on their old screen doors, but couldn't find one long enough for the camper, so I made one. I used heavy duty picture hangars, 1/16" aircraft cable, ferrules and some #8/32 panhead screws with nylon nuts. The newer screen doors are just an aluminum frame bent into a U shape with 4 cross pieces screwed across it so there's no way to pull up the sagging side. More than likely one of the kids(or maybe me) pulled down on it a time or two getting in the rig and warped it. So I drilled all the way through the frame due to it being thin and not wanting the screws to pull out and put in the hangars and turnbuckle. I adjusted it on my kitchen island(Jeriann was thrilled!) and squared the door back up. The only thing I didn't get done was to spray paint it all flat black as the rain came in and she wasn't going to let me spray paint in her kitchen. I reinstalled the door and it fits even better than when it came from the factory. Once it's painted, you won't ever notice the cables, but now I don't have the drag when you open the door.
Good morning, crew!!
And another winter day in Arizona!!!
About the “quiet” from the southern gentlemen in July and August. ...........................I still have not needed to shovel “heat”!!! I just go slower and everything is just fine!!!!! And my joints and bones don’t hurt nearly as much here in the “dry heat”; so I am good with that!!
All have a great Monday and rest of the week! Later
