A day of R&R
I finished wiring up the new portable solar panels yesterday, but I haven't yet taken the panels outside and plugged them in, which I will do as soon as I get more motivation. Yesterday, all the wiring work I did required crawling around on my hands and knees, with lots of bending and stooping mixed in. Which, needless to say, wreaked havoc on all the bendy parts of my 79.4-year-old body. So I took the day off from doing anything remotely useful to give my ailing joints a chance to slip back into their normal resting position.
The Big Show is underway, and I can tell because, even though I'm at least five miles away from the Big Show, the desert around me is filling up with hundreds of RVs, and there's an endless stream of traffic on Highway 95. Apparently, everyone of them has a computer because my Internet is crawling slow, I can get everything I'm used to getting, it just takes a long time to get it.
I might go visit a flea market in town tomorrow and see if I can find a few things. I didn't need anything else for my solar panel project, even tho I thought I might.
The weather is still beautiful: mid-70s during the day, mid-40s at night, and mostly blue skies. There are going to be a few clouds later in the week, but they're going to be the white, fluffy cumulus clouds, not those nasty dark gray clouds that block the life-sustaining sunshine that allows the old boondork to live in comfort.

I do enjoy being in Lake Havasu in the winter; it's a beautiful place. There's something about a desert with all this water that makes it special.
Nothing going on with these party rental boats now, but when the Spring Breakers get here, this will be a happening place.
A fancy Havasu restaurant on the water. I don't know for sure, but I doubt if I could afford a bowl of Rice Krispies in this place.
