Time Flies When Having Fun

We must be having a lot of fun, because the time is sure flying by.  Our work week is Mon-Thurs and a lot of days have gone by since we last posted.  This painting crew
has just finished painting the very large office/storage room for the church secretary.  You might be able to see lots of trim and corners in this room, which made for days worth of labor.
Meanwhile the guys have finished up a number of smaller carpentry projects, allowing us to tackle a roof replacement on a storage building.
The original roof was wooden shingles over 12" boards.  The dry climate has caused the shingles to decay to dust (which is very slippery, even on a low pitch).  This dust also makes for extremely dirty clothes, and a huge laundry project for this weekend.

It is not "All work, and No Play" around here however.  We also get to eat a lot.  The local congregation provides us with homemade lunch every day, and we've gone out to dinner a couple of other times.  Tuesday night was at a highly recommended local Mexican restaurant, with leftovers for Wednesday.  Tonight we got together with maybe 40 other Nomads who are working other projects nearby and had a huge potluck dinner.  This was a way to mingle with others who are doing similar work.

On our way back to our "home on wheels", we found an e-mail from MN mentioning the snow that is forecast back there, so I guess I'd better not mention the wonderful evening weather here (without jackets), and the fact that we left the furnace and heaters off totally last night.

It will be nice to sleep late tomorrow (on a FRIDAY!!).  We need to do the laundry tomorrow but also have plans to tour the local candy factory/store (Cerreta's) and then go to a restaurant called the Pipe Organ Pizza (similar to the Cicero's at Har Mar from many years ago).  Not sure we'll be able to visit all the restaurants that we want before this project ends!!

As for Sassy's question after our last blog, take a look at:

    Thanks for that link. I love the Geeks On Tour Blog and have been following it for awhile now. Unfortunately, I cannot open the link re the Maps, yet I can open the others ? Oh well, I'll keep trying I guess.
    Is there a particular Map website that they recommend ?? Perhaps if I knew that I would be able to figure it out.
    Keep up the great work you guys are doing for the various communities. And don't forget to get out for a ride every now and again. Riding is my passion.
