CoronitaParticipantUnfortunately, we got sort of lost at the Peek-A-Boo Canyons, just as the flash flood storm moved in, and it threw the rest of our trip off by a few hours (fortunately, we didnt up as the dumb missing hikers on the 6pm news) ….so we arrived at St George pretty late in the afternoon and missed the last round of Bingo at the community center…maybe next time…
[img_assist|nid=27434|title=hello|desc=|link=node|align=left|width=600|height=500]In all seriousness though, Utah is a beautiful place to hike and camp. Had a good time, especially at Zion… Definitely worth the trip.
Next time though, i should pack a GPS and a satellite phone when going to remote places…
The cell phone coverage understandably is spotty.
CoronitaParticipantI do like the salt flats where you can pretty much run flatout. even in a chevy tahoe…thank god its not my car though….. beautiful place.[img_assist|nid=27431|desc=|link=node|align=left|width=600|height=400]
Its been hot,but its been raining in the late afternoon too.
CoronitaParticipanti havent made it to st george yet, but so far my trip to the Salt Flats, West Jordan, Bryce Canyon, Zion Park has been pleasant.
But one thing. Gas prices is not cheap here. its not as expensive as San Diego, but it certainly is not cheap. Its $4 for regular, $4.20 for mid grade, 4.30 for premium roughly .. and the other thing, i dont think the octane rating for the fuel is the same. In CA , we have 87, 89, 91 octane. In Utah its 85, 88, 91…Now given that modern day cars can run lower octane fuel by simply retarding timing…usually when that happens it also lowers fuel economy and efficiency. So the savings might not be as pronounced….how much is gas right now in SD for 87 octane?

2 for $12.50 Car-Bingo
CoronitaParticipantCome to think about it. Maybe some old fart on ebay will pay a fortune for this…hmmmm. let me check…
This was made by “Pressman Toy” in New York, NY.

You are so in luck… You see, last night I tried exactly what Scardey was saying, and laid down on my walk in closet that has tile (yeah, I’m moving up in the world..whooohoo)…And he’s right. If it’s probably 5 degrees cooler lying on the tile.
But that’s not all. While I was staring at the ceiling, I noticed a large box I had not unpacked from my old place….So I got up and unpacked it…And oh my god, what a treasure I found inside the box that i totally forgot I had since I was a kid…
[img_assist|nid=27423|title=bingo!|desc=|link=node|align=left|width=800|height=600]
It’s BINGO … with a STEEL CAGE!!!!! as it says on the box!!!! Whooohooo. None of this made in china plastic shit you find these days… This hand crafted BINGO playset has withstood the test of time. I think it was from the late 1970s, maybe early 1980’s from Golden Circle (see the old price sticker still on it). Golden Circle was the dept store that was renamed to “Target”…
Checkout the cool bingo boards. Even if you can’t get off your back from the tile…you can still play BINGO with these boards. These are high tech chip-less BINGO boards that were invented probably from the early 80ies!!!!
Hey you, me and AN…. we can now play BINGO…No need to go all the way to St George for a killer bingo game. We can do this right out side my backyard, without AC of course, if you don’t mind the lizards, too many walls, in far flung lizard infested (new) 92130 house.
The bingo boards are a little funky. They use old car makers name, some of thee youngester millenials never heard of…
So for example, you’ll have say B(uick) – Pontiac..
BINGO!!!
CoronitaParticipantWe are definitely seeing some growth here. Can’t wait to see the lightrail build out. Pretty cool the lightrail will go as far as UTC/Genesse medical center area now.

CoronitaParticipantFor my retirement, I’d probably like to stay here part time and part time in the bay area. Hopefully by the time my kid goes off to college in 3 years(I hope), I can finally become a tech exec and finally be able to do what I’ve always wanted to do: get back to my Bay Area tech roots where it all started. Good grief, I’ll be half a century old by then and should be getting my AARP card also…I won’t be able to step into Tipsy Crow anymore half drunk and still like it was 2 years ago before the pandemic . Biggest complement was when the bouncer was like damn you asians don’t look anywhere near your age… It goes downhill soon though…Stick a fork in me.
I already found a BINGO club at the senior center in Sunnyvale, CA.

You have tile???? Damn Scardey that’s a luxury. My slum house in 92130 doesn’t even have tile. It has that plvinyl that marketing now calls “luxury linoleum”….Some of us can’t even afford the finer things in life like tile, except when sparingly used in the smaller bathrooms. That and those pesky lizards and too many damn walls in far flung drug infested 92130…as BG use to call it…
CoronitaParticipantI haven’t turned on my AC yet for the summer. Actually come to think about it, haven’t used it for 2021 yet.
For my previous primary, it was one of those run down 5/3 stucco boxes in the slum part of 92130 that didn’t even come with AC. I never used AC since I moved into that slum area from 2004 to when I moved out in 2019. When my latest tenant moved in, they asked if I could install AC, and being a good landlord I did. I spent $7500 to install a brand new furnace and AC unit, figuring it’s about 1.5 months of rent, and a tax writeoff, and would elevate my slum house to something closer to modern day standards…. My tenant hasn’t turned it on yet… I guess there’s an advantage of being close enough to the ocean to get a nice ocean breeze….
