Good health is so easily attainable, go to the grocery store.

Today the big move from Roper Lake to Roosevelt Lake occurred.  The Commander begged to short circuit the trip by stopping in the Gallurus Mountains.  Not sure how you spell that.  Next we considered staying at an Apache Casino.  The Commander figured we could leave the camper and drive back to check out the mountains.  That idea fizzled and we headed on to Globe to resupply.

Kadizzle has little patience to spend and hour looking at vegetables, no matter how much The Commander insist he stick by her side.  To keep entertained Kadizzle searched for free samples and wanders the isles.  Today's store had a magic computer machine where you could sit in a chair and get your blood pressure and weight.  After great news on the blood pressure Kadizzle decided to try the weight function.  Good news Kadizzle exceeded his goal of losing fifty pounds.   As good as this news was Kadizzle knew it was wrong and decided to go back and have another try.  This time the news was even better the magic machine indicated Kadizzle had lost another five pounds on the short 500ft walk he just took.  To see Kadizzle at 172 lbs you would have to go back to 1972.   Realizing the weight was so far off Kadizzle suspects the blood pressure was functioning in some erroneous way also.

The strange thing about this computerized lying machine was that it was strategically placed for people to use while they waited in line to get their prescription filled.  Imagine a customer waiting to get medicine and finding out that the pharmacy computer said they are in better shape than they have been in 35 years.  

After a long stay at the supermarket we drove on to Lake Roosevelt.  After checking out the Schoolhouse camping area we decided on the Windy Hill site.  The Commander was put off at the School House camping area by reports of stealing.  An unusual couple staying there in a tent since December said there had been some attempts to steal a generator, and thieves had taken one of their knives.  The little blonde disabled lady was friendly and gave us some good tips about getting water. However, she did seem like one half of an odd couple.  She said they were forced from Colorado when it turned out someone was manufacturing crack in their apartment complex.  Her story about thieves stealing her knife seemed strange.  Who would drive for miles to steal a kitchen knife.  The Commander says a thief expects something for their effort.

Now we are settled in with thoughts of robbery floating through The Commanders head.  We have the alarm lock on the solar panel, and another alarm on the generator.   Kadizzle needs to modify his
"mother of all alarm system" to scare the bad guys away.  Kadizzle cannot decide if he should use a fishing line trip wire set up, or a pressure switch.  

As Kadizzle sits here by the lake a singing voice is drifting this way.   The blonde lady said there was a crazy, ornery old camp host here that is 83.  If that is him singing he seems to have a nice voice and sounds like some old preacher.  Kadizzle is going to have to jump on the motorcycle and meet this old codger.  Stay tuned for a report later.
