One big project finished and RAIN finally

July has been the month of late night working to avoid the direct sun and heat

(still didn’t miss the heat as many nights it was nearly 100º!). We were finishing putting up the shade screen on the west side and half of the south side to cover Larry’s Man Cave as well as just finishing putting up the partial shade on the east side to shade the car in the mornings. God was so good as we had five days of below 100º and one day the high was only 85º, unheard of for July in Phoenix!   I was able to go for a walk two different days, something I haven’t done in quite awhile so it felt good so get out again.

The 19th Larry had a CT scan at the VA and spent 15 minutes driving around looking for a parking place. On one of his rounds some nice folks gave him a bag of fresh produce which we have enjoyed very much!

We had another nice visit from Todd on the 20th. It is always nice to see him and we had a good visit.

We have been playing Farkle on Fridays instead of Train as it gives all of us a better chance of winning and usually each of us wins at least one game. We

are able to play several games as they go quickly.

The heat has about done my garden in but we have enjoyed okra, squash and beets. I’m hoping my ‘winter’ garden will do better but I have to wait a few more months before planting it. 

Now that the shades are in place, Larry made frames to pour concrete in to hold the shades on the west side down in the wind. We had a fierce storm Saturday night July 30 with 41mph winds and almost an inch of rain in half an hour!  We really needed the rain but not like that! The sky was purple after the storm.

We purchased 4G EMF protection years ago, for our personal protection, which went on our iPhones. But, when 5G came out, Larry was having issues!  When he placed his 5G iPhone12Max in his overall pocket, which was next to his CPAP Inspire device, the Inspire, which is similar to a heart Pacemaker; would vibrate and make a buzzing noise. 

So, we purchased the new updated 5G EMF protection Devices from Aires Tech. We each have a device on a chain around our necks, so when we are apart, we both have EMF protection from 5G and the other frequencies. We don't really need to wear them when we are at home, because, the Life Tunes cover 50 square feet!  Larry just hangs his on the cabinet above our bed at night, and I leave mine hung on a cabinet next to our computers, so we don't forget to put them around our necks, when we go shopping, etc.

Larry has worn the Life Tunes Personal device for several days now and the Inspire issue seems to be non-existent now with the  Life Tunes device, which actually covers 50 square feet.

We have used the Aires EMF protectors for over 3 years now, and they keep updating the microprocessors as new EMF frequencies come out, which affect our health in Negative ways. Many people are effected by EMFs and don't even know it. Our bodies are run by minute electrical impulses, ftom our Control Center: the brain. The brain which is like an un-matched, finite high capacity computer, connects through a system which God gave us, and to put it in a simplified understandable description: Ethernet connections. 

The brain's performance and electrical processes are definitely effected/affected by surrounding EMFs, although I don't believe they will help against an Atomic Bomb blast's EMF forces; Nor do I really want to find out!

Larry and I would suggest anyone with 5G phones or out and about where 5G is prevalent in today's World take look at the Aires line of EMF protection and see which product meets your needs. 

Please use this code to do so: airestech.com/?rstr=8462 to see the results of EMF on the human brain! I believe you will be amazed at what you see!!

These are the previous 4G devices that we've had for the last few years.

This is the new 5G, which I have pulled up out of the little leather holster, so you could actually see the device. The holster comes with a string; so I attached ours with chains that we had other things on before. Recycled/ Repurposed!!

Again please use this link: to view the Aires products: airestech.com/?rstr=8462 which will give us discounts to buy other Aires EMF  products.

Thank you all for your Love and Support, throughout the years!

 

Making some progress

Larry went to our neighbor Don who makes Tank Tech RX for RV tanks and he gave Larry some good advice as well as a new proto type of cleaner that we have been using all this month with good results.

It seems so much hotter this year than last so Larry decided we needed to put up a shade on the west side of the RV cover to help keep the sun off the MH in the afternoon. He came up with an idea so we ordered 90% sun shade like the garden is covered with. He had to put up brackets and lumber to screw the sun shade to and that proved to be quite a feat especially since he doesn’t

like heights!

Todd came to see us on Father’s Day and he was just what Larry needed to help him get a 12’ by 6’ board on top of the MH across to the top of the house as I was unable to lift my end of the board. Once that was done we had a wonderful five hour visit even playing Farkle with Dawn and Vince. Todd won one of two games we played.

We have enjoyed beets, carrots, lettuce, green onions, okra and squash out of the garden. A rat enjoyed all but one of my tomatoes and the last one is just turning red so hopefully WE can enjoy it soon instead of the rat. I’ve covered it with a net to hopefully keep the rat away. He is smart and keeps

getting the food but not get trapped. The last two days he has been ‘protecting’ his home with some kind of poop and several cactus spikes!

We’ve had five nights of monsoon winds but no rain for us (many places around us did get some rain but all we got was dust, lots of wind and just

enough sprinkles to make a royal mess of things). We’ve only been able to get two of five sections of shade up and then discovered we have to do things differently as the winds pick it up way too high!

My eye is doing better as I again went to the Retinal Surgeon and he was pleased with my progress. I go back in six weeks. Larry had several VA visits and learned they can do the freezing of the spot on his kidney but he needs another CT scan first as it has been six months since it was first found.

We have been playing Farkle with Dawn and Vince on Friday afternoons and have enough time to get 4-5 games in which allows all of us to win which is

nice.

Summer has arrived

I had my last ever colonoscopy and it went well. I took 24 pills instead of

drinking gallons of juice and it worked better than the juice’

May 8, Mother’s Day and we celebrated Todd’s 60th birthday with much of

the family. There were 18 of us. Cerét and her family came for ID and it had

been eight months since they were last here. We had a fun day.

For Vince’s birthday we went to Red Robin and then came home for cake and

presents.  

 

Larry has been helping Dawn with her backyard project and he moved the

outside water valve so it wouldn’t be in the way for walking.

Since Vince nearly always wins at Train he wanted to play something

different so we played Farkle, a fast moving dice game. We played three

games and each of the ‘losers’ (at Train) won a game so we will play Farkle

again come Friday.

Finishing Projects

 We began the month of April by finally getting the solar panel up to power the automatic gate opener.

Putting up the solar panel for the gate opener

We enlisted Vince and Dawn’s help to lift the pole up. Larry rigged it up so it went up fairly easily and

then he, on top of the ladder, put the U-bolts on to hold it in place. He also fixed it so the panel can be

moved so it gets the maximum amount of sun. 

Larry put a sun shade over my garden and the plants seem to like the shade as they are really beginning to grow. The beets look great and I love the colors of the squash plants as they bloom. My tomato plant is doing well also.

Larry saw that the structure moves in the wind so he took down the water pipe and put it against the

house where I thought it should have gone in the first place. We found a new Chinese restaurant after an incident at the old one and across the street from the new restaurant is an Ace Hardware which had a downspout (nobody else in town seemed to have them) so that gave Larry everything he needed to move the pipe and downspouts and he was able to finish that project too.   When we were at Loews looking for something else, we found some nice looking stepping stones so Larry put them down

between our side and the kid’s backyard. Larry did a great job of laying blocks down and Dawn liked

them so well she wants to use the same stones for her walkway.

We both have lost weight and Larry has lost so much his pants keep falling down so he got out his

commercial sewing machine and re-did his belts to keep his pants up. I’m so grateful he is so talented!

We have had many doctors appts. one of the many results of getting older, but all in all we both are in

fairly good health thankfully.

We continue to play Train on Fridays but have changed the time to earlier in the day so Dawn can work outside in the evening and early night as it is just too hot in the AZ sun to work out there during the day. Her project is coming along nicely.

We also finally have one of our Christmas presents

up where it can be seen.  Thanks Rosie for your awesome gift!  

Lastly, we had a roadrunner visit our fence.  Not the best picture but he was very close.
