A BURST PIPE SPRAYS WATER EVERYWHERE

A PYRRULOXIA HEADS FOR THE BIRD FEEDER (700mm at 1/4000th of a second)

Another one of those up at 2 a.m. capers, so another very long day.  Thursday night did indeed turn out to be even colder than Wednesday night & despite heaters & furnace going, the icy cold just radiated through the thin fiberglass Motor Home walls & kept me awake waiting for the sunrise.  Thermometer said 2 degrees as I sat huddled in a big blanket with the computer on my lap.  Didn’t take me long to get a good grumbling rant going but I mellowed out during the day & ditched the rant.

 

THE SILVER CARDINAL IN THE CENTER OF THIS PHOTO IS THE SAME ONE AS PREVIOUS PHOTO SECONDS BEFORE FLIGHT

We were frozen solid again this morning with nothing coming out any of the taps.  A quick check of the sticks & brick house told me it was still frozen as well.  Nothing we could do but sit & wait & stew about our situation.  Well, Kelly did the sitting & waiting part while I did the stewing part!!  I’m good at stewing:))  I was totally convinced our water lines were shattered.  How could they not be.

 

UNDAUNTED, KELLY SITS IN THE MORNING SUN, BOOK IN HAND, COMPLETE WITH WINTER MITTENS & A HAT…DAUNTED, I REMAINED IN THE RIG WITH AN ELECTRIC HEATER STUFFED INSIDE MY SHIRT

The outside thermometer garnered all our attention as it began it’s slow rise towards the freezing point.  I was sitting outside by the campfire soaking up some warming rays when Kelly stuck her head out  the Motor Home about 10 & hollered, ‘the taps are all working.”  Figured this was it, time to put the Scuba suit on & go looking for all the leaks & broken pipes.  Flashlight in hand I went through the under sink cupboards, the water pump compartment, fresh water tank bin, hot water tank & even under the rig looking for the expected drips.  Nothing!!  What, how could that be….but it was.  No leaks that I could see.  How nice to have the water working again.   Hot water especially.

THIS LITTLE FELLOW DISGUISED HIMSELF AS A CHRISTMAS DECORATION  >>>

However, the house water lines were still froze so we just waited it out & about 2:45 this afternoon Kelly pointed out the windshield to a tap about 50 feet away gushing water.  Yaaaaay, water line to the house is finally unthawed so two hot showers coming right up:)))  Oh Oh……..not so fast!!

While I was turning the water off at the tap I could hear a noise over in the pump house where the water pump was located.  Figured it was just the pump catching up & filling the lines.  And then I saw water all over the ground surrounding the pump house.  It was looking like a Louisiana swamp over there.  I clumped through the gathering gumbo mud & approached the big noise going on inside the small building.  Slowly opened the door as water came ricocheting off the tin walls.  I could see  where the main waterline from the well heading for the house had burst in several places.  There was a blue main shut of valve but I was leery of trying to close that with so much water pressure in the fractured line just inches away.  I knew there was a pump shut off switch on a pole nearby so ran over to that & shut down the pump.  Returned & closed the blue main shut off valve.  So much for those long awaited showers I thought:((

THIS IS THE BROKEN WATER PIPE IN THE PUMP HOUSE

Kelly phoned Ray over at the ranch & he said it sounded like something he could fix & would slip over.  Yaaaay, the showers are on again.  An hour later Ray phoned saying all the PVC pipe in Elfrida was sold out because of bursting pipes all over the area.  He is going to try & get some pipe  Saturday morning .  There went the showers again!!  We can’t go anywhere until we’ve had showers because we would be arrested for environmental pollution!!

JUST HANGING OUT WITH MY CLOTHESPIN PALS

Apparently Cochise County has been hit hard by this cold spell & many people are still without water & heat due to broken pipes & some kind of problem with folks running out of natural gas.  Despite my grumbling over the past couple of days we sure have got off lucky compared to other people here in the valley.  We have enough water on board to last us until the pump house line is repaired & we have two thirds of a tank of propane.  We have hot water & the weatherman is promising much warmer temperatures starting tomorrow.  Cold tonight again with predictions of 16F but not as bad as the 2F we had this morning.  I’m cautiously optimistic when I say, the worst is over & we are on our way to much warmer temps.

And, here’s the icing on the cake for the day.  Kelly has finally mentioned the ‘TRAVEL’ word.  Nothing planned yet but it’s the first ‘winds of travel’ I have heard from the Boss since we arrived here two & half months ago.  I can already feel the excitement of travel stirring & I can already feel the sadness of leaving.

HOPPING DOWN OFF THE WATER BOWL

Noticed ERIK'S RV BLOG has just joined the Bayfield Bunch on their travels.  Welcome aboard Erik & that’s one mighty fine profile picture you got yourself there:))  We have also been joined by THE OLD GEEZER as well on our list of blog supporters.  After a long slow growth period it is nice to see the blog followers list growing again .  Welcome aboard guys:))

 

TROOP CARRYING HELICOPTERS & AN A-10 THUNDERBOLT (WARTHOG) OVER THE SWISS HELM MOUNTAINS (EXTREME TELEPHOTO)

Here’s a bit of blog coincidence… Pidge from THE FRUGAL TRAVELERS had the same ‘Bean’ joke in her blog as I did last night in Groaner’s Corner.  Now, how often does that happen.  To find the face in the beans just look to bottom left or left of center near the bottom:))

Note to Gerrit up there in that Wingham town of Ontario, Canada  Yes, we are happily using our new Mifi & it’s working flawlessly.  The real test will be if & when we ever get out of this area.  With Mifi we can’t use our Wilson antennae so reception will be the big question but I suspect we will be fine, just as before with our Cradlepoint setup.  Actually, our Mifi is working through our Cradlepoint. 

GROANER’S CORNER:((  To get away from their high-stress jobs, a couple decided to spend weekends relaxing in their motor home. But after finding their peace and quiet disturbed by well-meaning, but unwelcome visits from other campers, they devised a plan to assure themselves some privacy. Now, when they set up camp, they place this sign on the door of their RV: "Insurance agent. Ask about our term-life package."

SIMULTANEOUS PROBLEMS WITH BOTH OUR HOMES TODAY:((

OH OH, THE WATER DISH IS FROZEN SOLID THIS MORNING

Oh Boy…….here we go with another weather blog but the way things are going right now across the country it’s hard not to talk about what’s going on when the majority of people are dealing with such adverse conditions.  Despite running our furnace in the night we had no water this morning because of frozen pipes somewhere.  Got down to 3F last night & will be about the same tonight again:((   Even the water in the house we are parked beside was froze up despite the furnace running. 

I LITTLE JAVELINA TRYING TO GET A DRINK THROUGH 2 INCHES OF SOLID ICE

I hope everything is OK over at ROADRUNNER'S TRAVELS in Deming, New Mexico.  She was switching over to her last tank of propane Wednesday & I imagine her furnace was running full tilt all night.  WANDERING WILLY had white out snow conditions in Columbus New Mexico & his rig was all froze up.  He was hoping to make a dash for Tucson this morning. (Thursday)   RETIRED ROD rolled up his water hose in Mesa, hung a light bulb in his water bay & contemplated his future RVing days.  MIKE & PAT made a mad dash from Bouse Arizona to their home near Wickenburg to take care of vulnerable water lines & pumps.  Everywhere here in the southwest RV’ers are scrambling to adjust their daily lifestyle during these days of record breaking cold.

<<< AND THIS IS THE DIRTY ROTTEN LITTLE BEGGAR THAT SNAGGED MY BRAND SPANKING NEW J.C. PENNY SHIRT THIS MORNING & RIPPED A BIG HOLE IN THE RIGHT SLEEVE ABOVE THE ELBOW!!

 

OK, now for the problems!!!!  The water line to the sticks & bricks house here never thawed out all day because we never got above freezing, so that meant no showers.  That also means we have no outside water to the rig. 

WELL PETE, D’YA THINK THESE CANADIANS WILL GET THEIR PIPES THAWED OUT TOMORROW

All our lines in the Motor Home froze up as well in the night & the only one we managed to unthaw today was the cold water line to the kitchen sink.  We have no hot tap water!!  Fortunately we always keep 3 big jugs of water handy for washing & can heat water on the propane stove.  Temps are going way down again tonight so things are not looking good & our kitchen tap will probably freeze up again.  We won’t know if we have any broken water lines until outside temps get above freezing & we begin to thaw out.  Hopefully that thaw will happen sometime Friday.

<<< DON’T CRY MARTHA,  WARMER DAYS AHEAD

Then, to make matters even worse, we got a call from the fellow who looks after our house in Bayfield Ontario while we are away during the winter.  The furnace in our house has quit & temperatures have plummeted.  Right now the outside temp in Bayfield is 27F.  Bruce said there was still water coming out of the taps so we may have dodged a bullet in the frozen & broken pipes department.  In the meantime he is hustling some space heaters over to our house.  Kelly was able to contact an electrician guy (Tony Hutchins) in Bayfield who had worked on our furnace two years ago when we had central air installed & as I’m typing this he is on his noble white steed riding quickly to our house to do battle with the great ‘Freeze’ monster.  We have our fingers crossed that he will be able to save our house from some very major damage!!!!  Go Tony Go.  The electric furnace in our unit is 30 years old so who knows:((

HEY CLIVE, WHERE’S THE WATER??

SAY, COULD YA LEND ME A COUPLE BUCKS FOR A HOT BOWL OF SOUP TODAY

{UPDATE}  Phone call from Tony in Bayfield minutes ago said furnace is fine & that it was just the battery in the thermostat that needed replacing.  House temps are again rising but we’re not quite out of the woods yet.  Fireplace pilot lite in the sunroom is on but Bruce can’t get the fireplace flames to come on & heat up the sunroom where all our plants are located.  Batteries in remote fireplace control were replaced today as well so Kelly will have to walk Bruce through a manual restart of the gas fireplace shortly.

I ALWAYS KEEP WATER OUT FOR THE WIGGLY PIGGLY GANG

Apart from dealing with weather related problems we did little else but sit around reading & banging away on our computers all day.  I’ll bet there are a lot of fellow RV’ers in the exact same boat as we are in at this very same moment.  Weatherman is calling for above freezing temps on Friday & even warmer Saturday so hopefully that will unthaw the pipes under the sticks & bricks plus under our Motor Home tomorrow.

GROANER’S CORNER:(( Find the face in the beans:))

Doctors have concluded that if you find the man in the coffee beans in 3 seconds, the right half of your brain is better developed than most people. If you find the man between 3 seconds and 1 minute, the right half of the brain is developed normally. If you find the man between 1 minute and 3 minutes, then the right half of your brain is functioning slowly. If you have not found the man after 3 minutes, the advice is to look for more of this type of exercise to make that part of the brain stronger!!! And, yes, the man is really there!

ICY WINDS & FREEZING TEMPS HELD US CAPTIVE ALL DAY:((

SUNRISE….ARIZONA STYLE

First thing I did when I got up this morning was to check the GRAND BEND WEB CAM back home.  I was really hoping I wouldn’t see any shadows!!  Had I seen the buildings or lamp posts casting any shadows I would have known for sure that 6 more weeks of winter were definitely in store for our Bayfield area.  And, what do I base that piece of absolute fact on??   Wiarton Willy of course!!   And who & what is a Wiarton Willy & what’s so big about seeing a shadow or not .  Wiarton Willy lives in Wiarton Ontario & is the chief Prognosticating Groundhog in that neck of the woods of Canada.  Every year on this day WW (not to be confused with WW WANDERING WILLY although I’m sure he would be quick to draw some comparisons) comes out of his burro to predict if we will have 6 more weeks of winter or not.   In the northern States you have ‘Punxsutawney Phil.’  Yaaaay Willy & Phil, Spring is on it’s way:))))))))

THOUSANDS OF HIGH FLYING SAND HILL CRANES

After receiving an email from fellow Canadian blog reader Robert (astronomer from the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory in Victoria) this morning good naturedly wondering when we would be continuing our travels I was bolstered enough to cautiously broach the subject again that maybe it was time we resumed our winter trek westward.  After all, we have been in one spot now since about November 15th of last year.  Waaaaaay too long for the Bayfield Bunch to be in one spot for sure!!!!  Coincidentally, while checking a past blog, it was one year ago yesterday (Tuesday) that we rolled out of the Ranch near McNeil Arizona & headed west for Quartzsite.  That led to some new areas & a nice time boon docking in the Kofa Mountains south of the Q.  Anyway, are the winds of travel beginning to stir……well, your guess is as good as mine because Kelly’s response wasn’t exactly, “Yaaaay, let’s rumble!!”  Stay tuned & wish me some travel luck…………

(FILE PHOTO) THE STEERING WHEEL ON THIS JOHN DEERE TRACTOR IS THE SAME WHEEL WHICH APPEARED IN TUESDAYS BLOG…AND YES, THAT IS ARIZONA SNOW AT THE RANCH ALRIGHT!!

Elfrida’s weather station tells us it’s 12F this morning with lows tonight of 9F predicted.  When I stepped out of the rig this morning the icy winds quickly froze me to the spot.  Quick thinking Kelly hurriedly unthawed me with a hair dryer so I could quickly slip around the yard breaking frozen ice in all the water dishes we have out for the birds & little critters.  I really do think it’s about time we headed for warmer temps in southern California’s Borrego Springs …..don’t you:))

MEXICO  IS 28 MILES SOUTH OF US ON THE HORIZON

 

Two new Blog Followers today:))  Didn’t see a blogsite for Pidge 1991 but we have had another reader by the name of Pidge who used to leave us a comment from time to time.  Both these ladies husband’s name is Don & have been full timing since 2007.  Hmmm, sounds like this could be one & the same person except Pidge 1991 appears to be in Indianapolis right now while Pidge from THE FRUGAL TRAVELERS is in San Antonio, Texas.  Sure doesn’t take much to confuse me these days but thanks for your interest in the Bayfield Bunch Pidge1991/Pidge:))  And, while I am still in confusion mode, I say welcome to Follower R Vin, if indeed this fellow is a true Blog Follower.  A little hard to tell sometimes…..

Thanks to everyone for their comments in Tuesday’s blog & a special thanks to Bill from NE in initially kicking off the topic in my mind & then coming back with his thoughts in the comment section of Tuesday’s blog.  All good thoughts, feelings, suggestions & opinions from everyone & it leaves us all with, ‘food for thought.’   As I have previously stated, I am not politically minded so I won’t follow up on the topic with any more discussion.  I’m sure there are far more people knowledgeable about these things than I am.  Now, let me see….where can I find me a nice Saguaro sunrise to photograph:))

How often have we heard the phrase, ‘if it sounds too good to be true it probably is.’  And, so it was, a month ago when we stopped into a store just north of Naco.  Three big bags of wild Birdseed on sale for the amazingly low price of $10.  Well, Cheap-O me fell right into that one.  Without checking the ingredients we hauled our big bargooooon of the day home & I promptly filled up two bird feeders we have hanging in a pine tree.  Well, sure didn’t take long to drive away the multitude of birds we had attracted in the past couple months…..and attract a whole host of new visitors we had not anticipated.  Yep, we had a whole gang of little buzzers at the feeders.  Bees!!  Something about that Bird Seed attracted the bees!!  Luckily, I have mostly always got along well with bees over the years so was able to wade in amongst the buzzers & gently retrieve the feeders from the tree, carry them a short distance & empty the contents on the ground.  Didn’t take the little bugg…er, buzzers long to swarm all over the dumped birdseed.  Noticed later that the bag said Wild Bird Food & not Wild Bird Seed.  Hmmmmm!!  Say, would anyone in the area like a really super good deal on a couple bags of unopened……Bird Food!!  Might be good for your Apiaries you know:))

Turns out our entire day was spent inside out of the icy winds & only 30 something temperatures.  It was a typically cold Canadian winter day without the snow.  Fortunately the big warming Arizona sun beamed through our windows all day long keep us toasty warm.  Gonna be a bad one tonight so we’ll have to run the furnace to keep our pipes from freezing.  Do I still think the Southwest has the best overall winter temperatures of anywhere…..ya darn right I do:))

GROANER’S CORNER:((  Despite our icy cold temperatures right now the locals tell us it still gets pretty darn hot here in the summer.  How hot you ask….well, let me tell you!!

• The trees get so parched they whistle for the dogs.
• You have to chew the air properly before you can swallow it.
• You realize that asphalt has a liquid state.
• You eat hot chilies to cool your mouth off.
• Hot water comes out of both taps.
• And, your biggest motorcycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death?"

DON’T LET POLITICS STOP YOU FROM COMING TO ARIZONA

CAMPFIRE:))

I was surprised to see stars from horizon to horizon first thing this morning upon stepping out of the rig.  Monday’s cloud cover & winds were gone.  The temperatures may be down overall but for sure we’ll take another big bright sunny day here in Southeastern Arizona….…….10-4:))

SOUND ASLEEP IN DAD’S PAJAMAS:))

PB & J are the latest folks on our blog Followers list.  Here is a family traveling  the southeastern United States together enjoying everyday life on the adventuresome road.  A nice way to go.  Thanks for hooking up with the Bayfield Bunch folks:))

QUARTER MOON & PLANET VENUS SUNDAY MORNING

Unfortunately, our quiet sunny morning didn’t last & by noon the wind had picked up bringing with it a broken cloud cover.  Felt cold outside so I confined myself to barracks for a long day in my Poang chair reading & catching up on computer stuff.  Gonna be tough to come up with something readable tonight but maybe I will try responding to Bill’s comment in our Monday night blog.

A FLUFF OF SNOW ON THE MULE MOUNTAINS

Kelly & I aren’t gun people.  That doesn’t mean we are for or against guns.  It just means we are from Canada where guns are not a big issue like here in the States.  I don’t play golf so I don’t have golf clubs.  I’m not a model train guy so I don’t have model trains.  I’m not a hunter, gun collector or target shooting enthusiast so I don’t have a gun.    Aside from a neighbor back home who is a hunter we hardly know anyone who has a gun.  It’s just not part of our personal life or culture back home.  We do not live in a violent crime area so we see no need for weapons at our house.  Yes, traveling in an RV is different & we have thought about it but to carry a weapon for self defense opens up a whole different kettle of fish which I won’t get into here.

KELLY TAKES A DEER PARK LODGE CELL CALL ON OUR MORNING WALK

  

I do understand farmers & ranchers having guns for protection.  There are rabid animals out there as well as wildlife that will kill livestock & people sometimes.  There are injured cattle that may have to euthanized in areas where Vets cannot get to.  Along the border with Mexico here there may be other reasons for carrying a gun & with the death of a rancher near here awhile back some ranchers along the border feel there is a need to be extra vigilant.  Maybe a business owner wants to protect his property.  I understand that.

“I THINK YOUR CUTE”……..”WELL, I THINK YOUR CUTE TOO”

I can honestly say I feel safer here in southern Arizona than I would feel in many downtown big city areas across north America including Canada.  To see someone here visibly carrying a gun always attracts our attention but so do police officers carrying guns back home.  When a policeman walks by, a woman might notice the color or cut of his uniform & what material it’s made of & does the shirt match the shoes.  I’m a guy & when a policeman walks by I always look at what kind of gun he has in his holster.  Probably just a guy thing.

Now, as far as traveling in different States based on that States laws & politics or the life threatening things in that State which may harm someone, I have the following thoughts.  Would I not go to the States of Louisiana, Florida & Georgia because they have Alligators & poisonous snakes?  No!!  Would I leave out Montana & Wyoming because they have wolves & rattlesnakes?  No!!  How about bears & Mountain Lions in a lot of places.  No!!  Would I stay out of Arizona because of it’s politics, gun laws or the fact some people may wear guns in public?  No!!  Doesn’t matter what State you are in I’ll bet most of us would be totally shocked if we actually knew how many people right around us every single day are carrying concealed weapons, legal or not.

<<< SAND HILL CRANES

To not see the wonders of the Grand Canyon, to miss the awe inspiring drive through Arizona’s Monument Valley, to forego the Apache Drive east of Phoenix, to deny yourself the experience of hiking the Chiricahua Mountains or the Sonoran Desert surrounding the Organ Pipe National Monument is an unfortunate result of media hype, misinformation & politics.

THE HOLLOWED END OF AN OLD SQUARE BUILDING LOG

Fortunately for me I am not a politically minded person.  With the exception of the Mexican border, our travels are not decided by State or Provincial lines, gun laws, immigration policies or who did what to whom a hundred years ago.  We come to the Southwest because we love the beauty it has to offer, the history that is still alive, the great ongoing weather & the freer laid back lifestyle of it’s people.  Remember, we are from Canada & our lifestyle there is much different from the way we choose to live here in the Southwest.  Yes, there is still a part of the old wild West going on and it is that older laid back adventuresome lifestyle that attracts us.  At this stage of the game I much prefer the excitement, history, adventure & environment of the Southwest to our more suburban like lifestyle back home during the summer. 

SAND HILL CRANES FEEDING IN A CORNFIELD…McNEIL, ARIZONA

For any travelers out there, I suggest trying to set your politics & prejudice aside & go wherever you wish while you still can & enjoy the beauty this land has to offer, coast to coast.  This life will end soon enough for all of us so don’t deny yourself this valuable time to see this great country because of politics.

PANORAMIC VIEW OF OUR LOCATION

Now, before the war wagons roll up to my gate let me just say again that these are just my opinions, right or wrong.  They are not meant to stir up any dust or ruffle any feathers.  Just a little something to think about for anyone putting together future travel plans.  We all have our own journeys.  We all have our likes & dislikes & we are all, fortunately different.  It is these well intentioned & constructive differences of opinion that keep this ball of life rolling & our thoughts moving forward…….…10-4!!

SAND HILL CRANES HOMEWARD BOUND AT THE END OF THE DAY

GROANER’S CORNER:((   And, here’s a few reasons you might want to consider buying a new car sometime in the not too distant future.

.Your passenger seat is on the National Register of Historic Places.

.Instead of an air bag, there is a whoopee cushion taped to your steering wheel.

. The 15 minute Jiffy Lube needs to keep you car for 3 days.

.While sitting at a stop light, people keep running up to you and asking if anyone was hurt.

.For the last five years, you've had to settle for making "vroom, vroom' noises while in the driveway.

.When you gas up, the attendant asks, "Can I re-duct tape that windshield for you?"
