I got a bunch of these in an email today, but this is the only funny graph in the lot.

Verna’s New House
. . . almost.
I took this picture today of Verna standing in her new kitchen with the great room behind her. The front door entry is on the right. Of course, a lot of things are still missing but they will soon appear. We’re hoping to be able to have Thanksgiving Dinner in the new house. Click on the image to enlarge.
Arizona Home Progress Report
Verna and I drove from California to our new town today. We briefly stopped at our lot where the new house is being built. Needless to say, we were pleased at what we saw. Verna got several shots of the construction and this one, that she took from the road in front of our lot, shows how much progress has been made since our last report. Click on the image to enlarge.
Dash Mount for the Garmin GPS
I got tired of the suction-cup GPS mount that came stock with my Garmin 205W. The GPS was exposed to the sun on the windshield and the temperatures where we’ve been this summer worried me that the unit might be getting too much heat. I went on-line and found a nifty little dash mount which I ordered from Amazon last week.
The mount attaches itself to the dash with an adhesive and its footprint is very small which allows us to put it almost anywhere there is a small vacant spot. I chose to attach it to the spot just above the On-Star panel (which we never use) in the SUV. This location is also convenient because it puts the GPS in closer proximity to the passenger if Verna (or myself) need to assist with navigation.
Another plus to the dash mount is that the power cord can be coiled up and isn’t flopping around in the drivers visual field of regard. I kept the suction cup mount in case we need to use the GPS in Verna’s Convertible or if we’re renting a truck or RV.

Access Panorama
The new property is in a tract where the access is via dirt roads. I stood on the road in front of the property and took several images and stitched them together to create this panoramic view of the road from one end to the other. On the left is the road continuing to the neighbor’s place on the west side. On the right, you can see the power-lines along the paved road to the east of our property. I took this photo several weeks ago before construction on the property began.

Sunday Dinner Treat
Our Sunday dinner menu included pasta and mozzarella stuffed meatballs with Verna’s excellent marinara meat sauce. We knew that Bear loved anything with Verna’s marinara, and today we now know that Cabela does too! You could almost re-use the paper plates when they were done.
