'Married at First Sight' Sneak Peek: Johnny Makes a Confession to Bao (VIDEO)
Meaghan Darwish August 18, 2021, 10:30 am
Married at First Sight's 13th season continues to unfold on Lifetime, and we have an exclusive sneak peek at the romantic honeymoon shenanigans taking place in the upcoming episode, "The Keys to My Heart."
Former college acquaintances Johnny and Bao are taking a sweet side trip in the exclusive clip, above, making way for a pivotal milestone in their relationship. The setting? A seaside picnic that includes beautiful red roses.

The gesture put together by Johnny blows his new bride away as Bao says, "I can't believe you planned all this." As Bao speaks, Johnny ushers her towards a comfy picnic blanket where they both take a seat.
"This is beautiful," she continues to remark. "No one has ever done anything like this for me before." Johnny's surprise almost matches hers as he shows shock when she adds that no one has ever given her a picnic before.

The bar is being raised in Texas with five new pairings.
Continuing to hit some high notes, Johnny offers his new bride and old acquaintance some prosecco, which he remembers she loved from their days in school. With all of the components in the right spot, Johnny prepares for a big confession as he toasts to "not holding anything back."
Whether it's a love confession or not will remain to be seen until you watch the clip, above, but the bigger question is whether or not Bao feels the same. As Johnny revealed earlier this season, admitting feelings before his partner is a challenge he's faced a few times. Catch the sneak peek and don't miss the honeymoon drama unfold in the full episode airing on Lifetime.

When it comes to the ways in which you may go about boosting the quality of the air surrounding you in your home, basic air filtration is among the simplest of options. Of course, it is also one of the most effective, hence the popularity of air filtration systems in Rome, GA. Despite the overall simplicity of such systems, though, it is vital that your air filters are installed by knowledgeable professionals that will integrate them into your HVAC system properly. That's where we come in.
At Moody Heating and Air Conditioning, we believe that all of our valued clients deserve more than a comfortable living space. They also deserve a clean, healthful environment in which to live and raise their families. We are very thankful for the opportunity to help homeowners throughout the area achieve this goal. Work with us, and you'll see firsthand why we've been an HVAC/IAQ company of note for nearly 3 decades.
David (War Eagle ) and his crew were extremely professional and operated independently. They left the job site cleaner than they found it.
When it comes to air filtration, you may think that the air filter in your HVAC system is enough to get you by. In fact, though, this air filter is not really there to boost or maintain great indoor air quality throughout your entire home. Instead, this filter is designed to protect your HVAC system itself from the problems that dirt and dust can lead to, preventing such pollutants from building up on sensitive components within the system. If you want to improve the quality of the air throughout your home, you'll benefit from the use of a more efficient, designated air filtration system in Rome, GA. Just remember that your filter must not be too efficient, or it can actually create too much airflow resistance, putting a lot of strain on your system and causing energy costs to rise.
Once our IAQ specialists have determined which air filter(s) will best benefit you, we can go about installing them with the skill and expertise that you'd expect from a company of our stature. We will place your air filters in strategic points in your HVAC system, so that all of the air circulating through it will be treated. If you have an old air filtration system that you think is no longer serving its purpose, or if your existing system is utilizing filters of too low a MERV (minimum efficiency reporting value), we can also handle your air filter replacements in Rome, GA.
Because air filtration systems do not feature electrical controls or complex mechanical components, their maintenance needs are fairly minimal. The filters themselves will have to be replaced or cleaned as needed, of course, and the system should be inspected and tuned up as needed during routine maintenance service. We encourage you to contact us if you are interested in a maintenance plan that will help you to get the most from all of your HVAC and IAQ systems. Should you notice that your air quality is on the decline once more, we can diagnose the problem successfully and complete any air filtration system repairs that you may need.

Decentralized Trading Platform Tinyman Introduces Version 2.0 and New Readable Programming Language 'Tealish' at Algorand Decipher Event in Dubai
November 30, 2022, 6:40 AM ·3 min read
New Public Bug Bounty Program Commits Up to 250,000 USD in Rewards for Participants
DUBAI and BOSTON, Nov. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Tinyman unveiled version 2.0 of its decentralized trading platform and its new readable, Algorand Virtual Machine (AVM) programming language called 'Tealish' at Decipher 2022, the annual gathering of Algorand builders, founders, investors, and strategists taking place at the Madinat Jumeirah this week in Dubai. Tinyman will also launch a new Public Bug Bounty Program in collaboration with Immunefi, and is committing up to 250,000 USD in rewards to participants through the generous support of the Algorand Foundation.
The next-generation protocol features open-source smart contracts and was written entirely using 'Tealish,' which enables writing TEAL in a readable format. The smart contracts in version 2.0 are open-sourced for public feedback, so the Algorand community and its ecosystem of developers can review and integrate the contracts prior to official launch. A period of around two months will be allocated for feedback and public review before Tinyman v2.0 launches on mainnet, expected in January 2023. V2.0 performance improvements include removing unnecessary app opt-ins and minimizing friction in the user experience. It also brings with it new features, such as Composable Calls, Flexible Liquidity Management (FLEX), Metapools, Flash Loans, Flash Swaps, and Dynamic Fees.
All contract codes can be found in Tinyman's GitHub accounts, along with technical documentation. The results of the first leg of audit reports for Tinyman v2.0, conducted by Runtime Verification, are also published on Github.
For more information about the Public Bug Bounty program, click here.
Fergal Walsh, CTO, Tinyman: "The protocol specifications and contracts have been analyzed and audited at multiple levels to attempt to identify many different issues. We have worked with the auditors to make the audit process more transparent than usual. In the coming weeks, we will tell more about this with references to the reports and all the supporting material."
Kaan Eryilmaz, CEO, Tinyman: "With Tinyman, we've always pushed for transparency and interoperability within the ecosystem. v2.0 of Tinyman follows these principles as we open source our contracts ahead of time. The aim is to improve our user experience both on our interface and on a technical level. We see the period ahead of us as a golden opportunity to create a true community-driven product, as our top priority is to grow together with the Algorand ecosystem."

Tanner Leads Global Rallycross Championship Points
LOUDON, NH (July 16, 2012) – Rockstar Energy Drink driver Tanner Foust has a strong lead in the Global Rallycross Championship points after a big race weekend that saw an estimated 45,000 fans in the grandstands at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Saturday.
"This was the best racing we've seen so far this year," said Foust. "It was aggressive but clean competition on a technical course, and the fans loved it."
Saturday's Global Rallycross event followed a NASCAR Nationwide contest at the track. Many fans took advantage of the hour-long break between races to crowd around the drivers for an official autograph session before packing into the stands to watch the hard-hitting rallycross.
"We gave the fans plenty of action and I had to race very hard. These aren't tracks where you can go three-wide into a corner without crashing, so passing is tough," said Foust.
Among the fans cheering for Foust at the track were his Top Gear co-host Rutledge Wood, alongside top names in NASCAR including Kyle Petty, Greg Biffle and Joey Logano.
Foust scored the Number 1 position in qualifying on Friday and then won Saturday's first heat race to bypass the last chance qualifier and advance directly to the 10-car final.
He lined up on the first row of the grid for the much-anticipated race alongside Rockstar Energy and Ford teammate Brian Deegan, and rival Travis Pastrana. Foust got an early lead but stalled as he got a bump coming over the tricky pit-lane crossover section, and he was forced to battle traffic for the remaining laps. He clawed his way back into podium contention but crossed the line in a close fourth-place, behind Deegan.
Foust was in the stands earlier in the day to support to longtime rival Pastrana when he crashed out of the Nationwide race on Lap 77. Pastrana is racing his first season of Global Rallycross competition as well as a select calendar of NASCAR events.
"Travis (Pastrana) had to work for the win today and he earned it — especially after the day he had," said Foust.
The New Hampshire contest took place on the most technical course of the 2012 season. Track elements included three new jump features of varying sizes, the traditional 70-foot gap jump, a short dirt section, a tricky ramp hairpin turn that brought cars up and over the pit-lane wall, and a "car wash" that sprayed water onto the tarmac – adding yet another traction challenge. There was no shortage of excitement during the race.
"A lot of people came up to me afterwards to tell me they've been NASCAR fans for years and, after this weekend, they will be rallycross fans for life," said Foust.
Foust's result was enough to keep him in the lead of the championship standings with 62-points. He is now 12 points ahead of closest challenger Samuel Hubinette, who finished second this weekend.
Before he returns to U.S. competition, Foust will once again turn his attention overseas where he is currently third in the competitive European Rallycross Championship rankings. Foust will run back-to-back ERC races in Belgium (August 4-5) and the Netherlands (August 11-12).
Rallycross is a blend of circuit racing, off-road racing and rally competition. It promises intense crowd-pleasing action in a fan-friendly track environment. As many as 10 drivers line up to start at once, piloting high-horsepower compact cars through race traffic over a challenging short course that features jumps, unbanked turns and changing track and surface conditions that can include dirt, gravel, and wet and dry tarmac.

Nur Suryani : a Lieutenant, an Olympian Shooter, a Mother, a Wife, a Hijabist Athlete
In August 1997, when Lieutenant Nur Suryani was schooling at Simpang Pulai, Perak, she was given the opportunity to participate in the audition to join Police Cadet. She was only 15 years old and her father, Mohd Taibi, back then a Malay Army Soldier or better known as Tentera Askar Melayu, encouraged her to pick up shooting. He used to guard the weapons at the Malay Army. Prior to the audition, she was active in Taekwondo, hockey and volleyball at school. The first weapon she used was a pistol and later she picked up the rifle.
"To be perfect anywhere and in any field" – That is her exact words as to what is her personal goal.
Within a short span of a year, in 1998, she competed in Sukan Malaysia (SUKMA) in Selangor. At 16 years old, she shot the rifle and won herself a Bronze medal. She had two trainers : Peter Gordon Fehe and Felix Ho, both of whom she spoke fondly of. Both of them helped building her shooting capabilities in her early days for 50 meter range. In 1999, she was busy with the last national examination at school, locally known as Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM).
In year 2000, Suryani pursued her diploma in Health and Fitness at UiTM and joined the national shooting team. That was when she got her first international exposure; from Thailand Open to SEA Shooting Championship in Bangkok, Thailand. During subsequent years, she was juggling between her studies and shooting. With high determination to succeed, in 2001, she won the Gold medal at the SEA Games in Kuala Lumpur. As her studies was important to her, she completed her diploma on schedule in 2002.
Suryani wanted to continue her degree in sports science, which inevitably a challenge to any high performing rising athletes. She managed her time well, juggling both her studies and training. She was already receiving good support from via Majlis Sukan Negara since year 2000, where she got training at the Subang Shooting Range every Saturday and Sunday while at UiTM. She also swam to keep her body fit and strong during university days. This is the regime she went through when she decided to pursue her degree in Sports Science in 2005. In 2008, she had to choose whether or not to focus on her degree at Universiti Putra Malaysia or improve her performance in shooting. It was a tough decision as both her studies and training require a lot of time and attention.
Her participation in the air rifle at International Competitions intensified in 2006 when she participated in:
2006 18th Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, Australia : Bronze Medal
2010 19th Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India : Gold Medal
2012 Summer Olympic – Competed for 10 meter air rifle
Suryani & Marhazli. Her husband has been the backbone and key motivator in her shooting pursuit
She has inspired a lot of women across the globe and has made many mothers proud. She was eight months pregnant when she made headlines at international level competing in the Summer Olympics 2012. She was very driven and motivated even though, physically, she was heavy carrying baby Dayana. Dayana has an impressive flexibility and is almost two years old now.
Olympian Suryani, qualifies for the 20th Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland on the 23 July — 3 August 2014 and is gunning for the gold medal. She worked hard to qualify for the upcoming Commonwealth Games and is eyeing for another opportunity to participate in the Olympics at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 2016. Shooting requires a lot of self-discipline as it is an individual game and takes a lot of personal effort to qualify for international level competitions like the Olympic Games. She claims mental and physical strength are equally important in this sports.
Lieutenant Suryani joined the Navy as a naval logistics officer in 2008. At Tentera Laut Diraja Malaysia (TLDM), she is involved in the training unit at Jalan Semarak, Kuala Lumpur. In 2011, she ended her single life and got married to Marhazli, a police officer. They are blessed with an Olympian baby daughter, Dayana. Suryani speaks dearly of her husband who has been the pivotal strength in supporting her sporting career. Her family does recreational activities twice or three times a week together at parks.
Suryani, now 32, will continue to push herself to achieve her fullest potential. It took her seven (7) months to get back into the range after delivering her first child. It was certainly not easy for her or any other mother Olympians to compete with other rising athletes. A good shooter needs to be able to focus well and have a stable, strong build. She trains every morning and in the afternoon she goes to the gym or swim to build physical strength. Otherwise, her husband would take her and Dayana to the park for light training.
Suryani is very supportive about fitness for muslim women. She too supports Nashata's efforts in promoting fitness for our sisters – through products, stories and our many other efforts to help women to have an active lifestyle.
Lieutenant Nur Suryani GRACED Nashata at the Launch 15 March 2014 at Shah Alam
She wants to proof to herself she could do it. So let's support Olympian Suryani, a lieutenant, a hijabista, a mother, a wife – as she truly inspires the muslim and mother athletes. We all have choices to achieve our dreams, and with Allah's will and support from family, friends and the government, InsyaAllah – no matter how many other titles you carry, be it a mother and a wife – you can do it!
May she bring back the GOLD medal from the Commonwealth Game this coming August!

San Francisco's Olympic Club will host the Race 4 Eight for the second time since first stop in the Golden Gate City in 2015, marking the 55th event in the history of the Race 4 Eight tour, with the tour spanning 16 states in the R48's first eight seasons. The Olympic Club is one of the country's most celebrated athletic clubs, home to five U.S. Open Men's Golf Championships and proud sponsor of many of the country's best athletes. Players and fans will be treated to outstanding facilities and a special Saturday night "Mucha Party" following the R48 and WR48 semifinals.


In less than 48 hours, the Prabal Gurung collection will hit Target. Am I excited? Maybe. I'll let you know after I see it in person. Because let's face it, these collections look like gold on your computer screen, but in person, those $40 shoes can look like plastic that's not so fantastic. I need a touch test.
Below are the four things I'm eager to get my hands on so I can see if its worth the hype. And yes, I know I deemed the designer collaboration over and done with based on the Neiman Marcus Target collab and I still stand by that sentiment. But for the possibility of cute, cheap designer shoes (the collection ranges between $50 and $199, with most items weighing in under $50), I'm willing to check it out.
The color of this blue leather jacket reminds me of robin eggs in springtime. Or a cloud-less summer sky. Whatever it is, I might just need it.
I can see this trio of bracelets on my wrist.
These shoes remind me of my faves from Carlo Pazolini. Again, the blue is calling my name.
The shorts. The shorts. The shorts. But definitely not with this whole floral explosion. Far. Too. Much.
Images from the Target website.
Cute picks! Did you end up buying all these items from the collection?

At one point Ben Kingsley says to Penelope Cruz, "The beast with two backs. Where's that from?" She answers Shakespeare and he agrees that it's from Othello. The fact is that Shakespeare borrowed it from the original author, Francois Rabelais. The phrase appears in French as "la bête à deux dos" in Gargantua and Pantagruel, 1532. See more »
David Kepesh: I think it was Betty Davis who said old age is not for sissies. But it was Tolstoy who said the biggest surprise in a man's life is old age. Old age sneaks up on you, and the next thing you know you're asking yourself, I'm asking myself, why can't an old man act his real age? How is it possible for me to still be involved in the carnal aspects of the human comedy? Because, in my head, nothing has changed.

Q: Is "Elegy" based on a book?
Q: What is an "elegy"?
Erotic, touching and beautiful
17 August 2008 | by seawalker – See all my reviews
Everybody is allowed to do a job just for the money, I know that I do, but when it comes to the acting profession, I irrationally think that I expect a little bit more from our finest thespians. I don't know why. I just do. Take, for example, the actor Ben Kingsley.
Ben Kingsley sometimes annoys the hell out of me. He is one of the best actors in the world, but sometimes plys his trade in the likes of films like "Thunderbirds", "A Sound Of Thunder" and "The Love Guru". Such a waste. Such a shame. Thank God he occasionally realises how good he is and signs up for a movie as sublime as "Elegy".
"Elegy" is a great movie. Ben Kingsley is supreme in it. He plays David Kapesh, an expat British teacher and writer. Kapesh is selfish. He is a player and a commitment phobe, who takes and drops lovers at the drop of a hat. That is until he meets Penelope Cruz's Consuela Castillo, with whom he begins a pretty standard affair and, against all expectations, and much to his dismay, falls in love with her.
"Elegy" has some seriously good, sure footed performances. Ben Kingsley is on Oscar worthy form. It is as different, but as good a performance, as his Oscar nominated turns in "Sexy Beast" and "House Of Sand And Fog". Patrica Clarkson, as Kapesh's long standing mistress, defines hurt and betrayal, Penelope Cruz completely puts word to the lie of one daft critic who said that she simply cannot act in the English language, but the surprise here is Dennis Hopper: His performance as Kapesh's best friend is light years away from the eye rolling villain that he normally portrays to make a crust.
"Elegy" is erotic, touching and beautiful. I think that it is a cracking movie and deserves a bigger audience.

Texas-based songwriters, Kelly and Keri Kintner, are not your typical troubadours. Their Indie-Folk Americana songs tell stories of people and places they have encountered on their journey. Major influences include Bob Dylan, The Grateful Dead , Kris Kristofferson, John Prine, or any artist with lyrics and harmonies that grab you!
In 2019, The Kintners collaborated with Zach King to record and release a 10 track album with that "Garage-Folk" sound. It is titled, "Upstate of Mind," by Kintner/King and is available on all major streaming platforms.

The incessantly interest in aqueous polymer dispersions (APD) since more than 90 years can be related to the almost unlimited possibilities to tailor APD to specific needs.
These proceedings from an international symposium on "Polymer Colloids: Preparation & Properties of Aqueous Polymer Dispersions" held at the Swabian Conference Center (Kloster Irsee, Germany) witness this statement.
The 33 contributions cover important aspects of APD such as control of particle size and stabilization, different polymerization technologies, applications as binders, paints, or as supports for proteins and hence, span the whole range from academic to practical.


On Monday, Jan. 9, Eastampton Township appointed Tom Czerniecki to serve as its next township manager filling a vacancy created in the fall of 2011. Tom is a resident of Eastampton Township and previously held the manager's position there from 1999–2004. He has been the Evesham Township Manager since June 2007.
Mayor Randy Brown added, "When I was elected in the spring of 2007, council's first order of business was to fill a vacancy in the township manager's office. At that time, the township was faced with a projected $5 million budget deficit going into 2008, significant concerns over the impending $50 million dollar Marlton Circle elimination project, a pending real estate property reassessment in the midst of the greatest real estate market downturn in over a generation, a municipal organization in need of managerial updating, and a desire on the part of council to improve recreational facilities, programs, and senior services to name just a few priorities. Tom's skill as a public administrator allowed council to focus on these important policy decisions knowing our decisions would be implemented in a professional and efficient manner.

Allison's Post Work Thinking - now that I have time to think
Freightliner and Fog
Today we were up with the dawn. Ok, maybe not that early, but we were on the road at 7:30, which is unheard of for us. This is the view across the RV park at oh:dark:thirty.
Tooley fog (also spelled tule) on the way to Freightliner. That's the bus up the road, I was driving the pickup and taking pictures through the windshield.
We saw this guy on the way south, as well. It's a sport of which I was not aware. It's motorized paragliding. There are two types, one uses a backpack mounted propeller and the other uses a cart with wheels. One fires up the propeller and lifts off. I saw the canopy fill pretty much straight up. I'm not sure exactly how that happens, but it looked pretty cool. He was still flying when we returned from Freightliner.
As it turned out, the control panel and the transmission are working as designed. Jim received education from the tech and all is well. There's a light that Jim didn't think was illuminating; turns out that it is, but it's faint and one must lean forward to see it, without one's sun glasses.
So, we have the weekend off, no moving the bus anywhere. Monday we start body work on the nose. Our big slide is still leaking from some unknown place, Erik is going to take it apart from the inside to see if he can tell where the water is coming in. Water in the RV is bad, things rot.

An Update from Harrisburg and RV Maintenance
Greetings Earthlings! Have you missed me? We are currently at the the River Bend RV park in glorious Harrisburg, Oregon. It's not a terrible park. We wish the paved sites were a little wider because we end up walking on the grass, and then tracking it in. However, it's 5 minutes away from our primary source of RV maintenance. Thus far we have had the poppet valves for the forward slide replaced, Erik thumped the emergency propane shut-off which restored it to functionality, the slide boxes have been tar taped, and he has adjusted the forward slide upward so it does not hit the doors of the under coach storage bays. I really like these guys. They have been too busy to have a web page done since they opened. Word of mouth has been sufficient to drive that much business to them.
Their physical plant is not as prepossessing as that of Country Coach or Monaco, but it's what's on the inside that counts!
This is something I never thought I would see. They are backing the RV out of the bay with the slides out. The tape takes 16 hours to dry, so the slides could not be brought in until the next day. We spent the night in their yard with power and water.
This is a plum tree on the perimeter of the yard. Note the presence of a train track. That's an Amtrak and freight line. It's heavily used, all day and all night.
In addition to maintenance and repairs they also do interior work. I think this qualifies as a gut remodel. This is what they do during the winter - remodels.
The cabinetry is being made on site at Elite. They will sub the doors, but they do the rest.
The downside to maintenance and fixing, is that you're homeless. It's exhausting. Jim and I are both worn slick from getting up early and then filling the days. One of the places we've been is NW RV Supply. They get stuff from everywhere and they know where they put it. The store is just amazing in how many bits and bobs they carry.
We were there for screw covers, which can be seen at the bottom of the photo in the center. That's the color we needed.
Today it was off to Davis Cabinets. They are legendary in the field of RV cabinetry. They do really nice work. These are two dumpsters behind the building full of saw dust.
Here is Shaun Davis performing a remove and replace of our satellite receiver and DVR. I am so glad we did not attempt to do that ourselves. Too many wires, not enough spatial relations on our part. After he hooked everything up, it took an hour with Dish customer service to get it configured. The people I spoke to today (level 1 and level 2 tech support) were fairly knowledgeable so it was not a terrible experience.
We were also measured for MCD shades. Our pleated shades are old and tatty looking and we've looked at them long enough. They'll be ready for install the last week in June. That will be pretty cool.
Tomorrow we go to Freightliner. There are issues with the shift console for the Allison transmission. Jim does not think it is working properly. We have to be there early, really early. Woe, woe is me. After a weekend to recover, we'll be back at Elite for body work and paint on the bottom of the nose of the RV. Apparently the previous owner grazed something with the coach. We did not see it until after the check had cleared for the purchase.
We've gotten a fair amount of stuff accomplished while out of the RV. Jim notified the governmental agencies of May's death. While we were expecting much bureaucratic nonsense, it was painless. Unless there is a surviving spouse, or minor children, death certificates are not required. They will take the information over the phone, and you're done. We still haven't dealt with the banks, I don't anticipate them being quite as accommodating. Tomorrow we have to locate and go to a Fedex to send the the old receiver/DVR back to Dish.
Other than that, maties, I have nothing to report. The weather has been cold and wet, so there have been no hikes or walks in the great outdoors.
Rural Oregon
Another rhodie in the park. Pretty, eh?
We took a drive out into the country side. I think rural Oregon is so pretty.
The Umpqua river.
This is a wheat field. We know that because the farmer so nicely put up a sign identifying it. We usually have to refer to crops as green stuff.
Tomorrow we are up and out, heading to Harrisburg. Then we will have a few fabulous fun filled days of RV maintenance. Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Susanville to 7 Feathers RV Park Canyonville OR
The drive from Susanville to Canyonville is another route with up/down. We were expecting it on 44 and 89, but for some reason we forgot I5 would be up/down as well. The drive on 44 and 89 is tiring, the roads are narrow and one must be on guard for surprise downgrades with hairpin curves. It's a pretty drive, however. Here is a lake reflecting the trees and mountains.
This is Mt. Lassen.
This is at the bottom of the ramp to a very pretty rest area in California. We highly recommend this rest stop. It's the most northern stop on I5 in California.
Klamath River, as viewed from the rest area.
You will see this sign more than once on I5 heading north.
This is what happens when you age. You can't remember anything. As we were making the bed this morning, Jim said to me, "remind me to bring in the sensor for the weather station." I said sure, I'll do that. Did I do that? No. I went out to dump the grey tank, which is usually Jim's job, and did not pick up the sensor. Jim spaced it because he has a process of go dump the grey, pick up the sensor. As it fell off the top of the front tire, we ran over it with the RV. It's broken, but it still works. Changing the battery may be an issue.
We're back at 7 Feathers in Canyonville, OR. This is a wonderful park. We're on site 41, which is good. Last year we could not use the Mifi, but over on this side of the park it works. Park internet is not working well this weekend, something is broken.
These are rhododendrons. Their season is just about over. See the bee in the center?
The blossoms are just beautiful.
So we're here for two nights. Since it's the PNW, rain is coming. Otherwise it would not be so green.
Labels: Notes to self
Susanville Ranch Park
We went for almost a two hour walk in the Susanville Ranch Park. It's a jewel of a park in the city; there are 1,100 acres and 22 miles of trails which are open to hiking and biking. Many of the trails get fairly steep at the top of the hill, but it's very nice.
This is the start of the trail, on the bridge over the little stream.
There are still a fair number of flowers out.
This was spotted on a steep part of the trail. I wonder if someone had to get off and walk here.
Most of the trail looks like this. It's not really narrow, not really rocky. It would be pleasant riding. I would not mind coming back here for a few days of riding. I think there would be some walking on my part, but hey, that's why we have feet!
There is also the Bizz Johnson Rails to Trail path. It's pretty flat, but if you just want some no stress time on a bike, it's worth doing as well.
Earthquake!
We had a 5.7 magnitude earthquake here tonight. I have to tell you, as an earthquake veteran, being in an RV with airbags is definitely the place to be.
It took me a second, well actually Jim had to tell me, to realize what it was.
Short Travel Day and my DVR is Possessed
Today was a grueling 68 mile drive from Bordertown to Susanville. If we'd been thinking better when we replanned these four days, we might have skipped Bordertown. However, we're pretty tired, and it was good that yesterday wasn't longer than it was, especially with all of the up/down. This is what it looked like on the road today. It rained a little, but nothing spectacular.
Shortly after we arrived, the skies darkened, the wind came up and the temperature dropped precipitously. At that point we were done with the utilities, so we ran inside expecting a downpour. Nope, the weather kept going with very little rain, and then it was back to sun and broken clouds.
This bird is not a happy camper. He was puffed up and looking unhappy. Later, when Jim headed out to do laundry he attacked, twice.
Our satellite receiver/DVR is behaving badly. We are supposed to be able to be able to tape two channels and watch one of the two that's being taped, or watch one and tape one. This week, we've only been able to tape one and watch that same channel. I called DISH and the kid on the phone didn't know anything. First he told me I had to have two televisions (no), then he wanted to edit the Record Mode (only available in dual mode, I'm in single mode), then he decided that it must be a broken hard drive (doubtful). So, they've shipped a new receiver/DVR. Remove and replace is non-trivial. It's a rat's nest of A/B switches up there because we kept the ability to use the carry out antenna as well as the one on the roof, the cabling to install a second TV in the bedroom, as well as view over the air and cable, and see different programming in the back of the bus and the front. It's going to require professional installation, and so far the only people we know who can do the work are in southern California. I am not happy about this. Oh, and Dish wants the broken receiver in the mail in 10 days. So far we can fix the problem by holding the reset button down for 10 seconds, but something bad is happening in there. Grumpy I am about this.
Tomorrow we speak the the lawyer about what must be done next to close out May's estate. After that we're hoping for a hike in the great outdoors.
Bishop to Bordertown Casino RV Park
Today's drive was Bishop to Bordertown, NV. First, a route report. When you leave Bishop, you will immediately climb 3,000 feet up to 7,000 feet. Then the route will be up, down, up down. Long steep grades. Long twisty grades. At one point I was making Jim crazy suggesting more application of braking. But really, there were parts where it felt like we were hurtling to our deaths. I think it's worse for the passenger. It settles down by the time you reach Reno. It's not a section of road where you will be making good time.
There is accessible diesel in Bridgeport at the Shell station, the pump island is off to the left. There's not a truck plaza until you reach Bordertown, NV and it's sort of pitiful.
We stopped for lunch at the Gardnerville Walmart; it is very RV unfriendly. Too many islands with plants. I don't think we would go back in that parking lot.
We're at the Bordertown Casino RV park. The interior roads are very narrow. To get to our site we had to drive the perimeter of the park, and pass by a permanent resident whose car trailer sticks out into the road. Between that and the decorative boulders, it's a tight squeeze. The turn into the road to our site was very tight. It's doubtful that we will return here. It's doable, but nerve wracking. Park internet is decent so that's a positive. The sites are paved and fairly level. A 45 foot Class A would have a hard time negotiating the turns with a toad. If you're in a shorter RV, this would be a good park in which to stay.
A Change to the Travel Plans
The build up to Mule Days in Bishop continues unabated. Kmart has taken tents, folding tables and chairs, portable showers, grills and charcoal out to the parking lot. We talked to the employee who is stationed out there, and she says they're selling much merchandise from that location. And it's only Tuesday.
The Vons/Kmart parking lot is interesting. They do not mind boondockers. In fact, a large swath of the parking lot is lined out and marked as RV parking only. This is an enormous Super C, towing a very big trailer. We could hear his generator as we went by.
This, however, is my favorite.
Look at the roof, is that cool, or what? You can't see it due to the glare, but on the nose of the bus they've painted "Peace On You".
The mules are rolling in to the fair grounds. We saw one trotting around the oval track pulling a sulky. I didn't know mules could do that.
Participants are rolling in to the park as well. I love these old guys leaning on the pick up talking.
Travel plans have changed once again. Up until this morning, we were heading out to Hat Creek in the Mt. Lassen area. While looking at Trailer Life, I noticed that the park down the road from where we were going to stay has a "cellular booster." A careful examination of the Verizon coverage map reveals that there is zippity doo-dah all coverage in Hat Creek. White is the color of no coverage. The population is 302 people, so I guess they've decided it's not worth putting up a tower.
So, we're diverting to Susanville and Canyonville instead of Hat Creek. Neither Jim nor I have ever dealt with the legal aftermath of someone's death. We're talking to May's trust lawyer on Friday to be schooled on what we have to do and when it must be done. I am really not looking forward to dealing with the Social Security Administration. As I previously posted, we requested an address change last April. They promised to do so, and mail us a 2012 SSA1099 within ten business days. To date, we have not received that document, which does make it difficult to file May's taxes for last year. We also do not have death certificates yet because Washington is rolling out an electronic system. Kitsap County has implemented it, unfortunately May's doctor has not registered for the system. Until he does that, we can't get certificates. The funeral home is working with him on this.
It's good to have Jim back in the RV. I have limited internal resources, so having him around as a source of entertainment and company is a wondrous thing. My hat is off to the ladies that RV by themselves, particularly the ones who boondock more often than not. They truly have gumption.
Speaking of the return of Jim, here is how he arrived yesterday.
This is a Bombardier Q400. It's a nice plane. This is the Mammoth airport. Night landings are not recommended, and flights may be cancelled due to cross winds. See the wheel chairs? They were bringing in disabled veterans to go skiing. Yep, they're still skiing at Mammoth Lakes.
Highlands RV Park - Bishop CA
While in Bishop we stayed at the Highlands RV Park on site 76. We don't hate this park, but neither do we love it. In no particular order, here is what I am thinking about it.
If you're in a 5th wheel, the placement of the power pedestal may compel you to unhook from the truck so that you can get the slides out without hitting the thing. We watched one guy, who really did not want to unhitch, try 4 spots and then finally give up. There was not a site that would allow him to stay hitched and get his slides out. The other interference issue can be trees. Some trees will force you either to the front or the back of the site.
The sites are narrow. We can't park with all four tires on the pavement. Our passenger side tires are 2 inches from the patio slab, and our big slide is almost into our neighbor's airspace. To dump, or get into the driver's side bays, I have to stand on their patio.
This is a 5th wheel on the left, and us on the right. Notice how close their awning is to us.
Sites are fairly non-level. Our passenger door is up in the air enough that we had to go buy a step stool for easy ingress and egress. Many of the Class A's with jacks for leveling have ended up with their right front tires off the pavement. We were able to level with air bags.
This park is right off of 395 and there is some traffic noise. We've had worse, but when the young men and their motorcycles go ripping up the highway, you can really hear them.
The laundry room is fairly large, and it's only a dollar to wash and a dollar to dry. It's well kept.
Verizon works well, we have 4G. Satellite is good if you have requested a satellite friendly site.
With the exception of the narrow asphalt strip, sites are decomposed volcanic debris and sand, and it sticks to your shoes.
Bishop itself is a very cute little town. They sound the firehouse siren everyday at noon. There are 3 or 4 hiking/climbing outfitter stores. There is a Von's which is actually a Safeway. It's not a terrible store. It's next to the nicest K-Mart I've ever been in. There is a Rite-Aid, but no Walmart or Walgreens. There is an excellent visitor's center and they will give you maps and a list of things to see and do.
From Bishop north to Reno, it's very hilly which will negatively impact gas mileage. We don't remember seeing any truck plazas, like Flying J or Pilot. The Von's in Bishop does have diesel with a high canopy. We are planning to buy diesel there before leaving.
With the exception of the Buttermilk Country, all of your hiking opportunities are going to be at about 9,000 feet and up. Mono Lake and the Bristle Cone Pines are about an hour away. We didn't make it there this year, but I think we'll be back. Mid-May is the earliest you want to arrive in Bishop due to snow on the hiking trails and on some of the passes. If you want to stay over Memorial Day weekend, BOOK IN ADVANCE. 30,000 people descend upon this place for Mule Days. We tried 2 months in advance but were denied. After reading about it, I'm kind of sorry we'll miss seeing mules doing barrel racing.
2014 Update to post:
We're on site 74. It's really terrible, so much so that we won't accept this site if we come back. The frame is so twisted from the leveling that the bays doors are difficult to open an close. These sites are really uneven.

May Passes On
May, Jim's Mom, died this morning in her sleep at 4:20. It was a good death, there was an end to the pain and she was ready.
One of the interesting things about her is that we don't know how old she was. She immigrated from Winnipeg as a child and was later naturalized. Somehow, she ended up with two birth certificates, one for 1914 and one for 1917. Jim was talking to the daughters of Winn, one of May's sisters, yesterday, and they said Winn always referred to May as "the baby." May always referred to Winn as "the baby." So, we just don't know.
This is Jim with May when he was little.
After the family moved to Washington, May worked as a teacher at a school for delinquent boys in what would later become Luther Burbank Park on Mercer Island. After leaving teaching, she sold real estate for John L. Scott. This was taken in 1979.
Jim's Dad died in 2002. We honestly didn't think May would last a year after his death. But she did, the woman was a trouper. She lived alone until just after Thanksgiving, 2011. By that point all the cartilage in her right knee was gone, and driving was no longer an option. Faced with choosing between live in help and assisted living, she chose the latter. Here she is in Wyatt House at 98 (or 95).
May's memory got a little soft at the end, but she was the reigning Scrabble champ of Wyatt House. Every day she did the crossword puzzle in the paper. May had a good run, and she'll be missed.
The Buttermilks
Yesterday I felt really awful, and basically did nothing the entire day. Today was better, so I drove out to Buttermilk Country. It's an area of large boulders that used to be the home of many dairy farms. The farms are gone due to the loss of water used to grow feed for the livestock. Los Angeles now owns thousands of acres out there. Speaking of LA, I read in the Mono Lake magazine (another lake destroyed by LA) that the city is now suing the Mammoth Lakes area stating that they have a "historical right" to all of Mammoth's surface water. There's a lot of money in Mammoth, so hopefully they'll be able to fight this lawsuit off. LA is just rapacious.
I got to the start of the four mile dirt road into the Buttermilks and chickened out. Having no idea what would be up there, and if I would be able to turn around or whatever, I parked and went for a very long walk. Today I printed out my new Good Sam Roadside assistance card, so tomorrow I will drive the road knowing that there is someone I can call should rescue become necessary. Apparently there are some striking boulder formations and people free climbing on them. It will be something to while away some time. This is one view out into the distance.
I would really like to know the story behind this.
May (Jim's Mom) has declined somewhat since yesterday, but she is not happy that it's taking this long. She wants her doctor to do something, but she's in the care of hospice now; and they have a fairly rigorous protocol of what they can and can not do. Several people have been by to see her today and yesterday, so that has been good.
