The A/C rewiring that Jim did yesterday is a success. With it being 100 degrees outside, the RV has maintained a 73 degree temperature! Yay! Jim went to Home Depot several times today to get some supplies to conceal the wiring. We did the best we could with what we have to work with. Using a hole saw and cable clips, he ran the power from the A/C unit, to the closet and then was able to conceal it the rest of the way. Maybe some day we’ll find the power cable at a different location and split it from there. For now, this does the trick and isn’t too bad to look at.
Tonight is the last night for Phoenix. Tomorrow we’ll do our grocery shopping and go to David’s Oasis in Bisbee. I’m excited about the campground change.
On yesterday’s post I mentioned we needed some electrical adapter to make out separate A/C circuit thing-a-ma-jingy work if a campground doesn’t have more than one outlet. We needed something that could split a 50amp. We found it at an RV store across from Camping World. $100 later. One end connects to the 50amp outlet and the other 2 ends are 30amp. We have adapters to make the 30amp ends into a 110 outlet. Oh, and while typing this, I’m not sure how a 50amp can split into 2 30’s. Doesn’t 30+30=60? Hmmmmm, new math again.
Gregg has been wanting to go to an Indian Restaurant around our neck of the woods. He’s had Indian previously, but Jim and I haven’t. A fellow blogger, Norma, speaks so highly of it. We went to The Dhaba.
Above: Gregg
Above: I don’t remember what this was called. Unleven bread and 3 dipping sauces. Spicy to Hot.
Above: I had the Dhaba Chicken Curry and Jim had the Kashmiri Chicken Tikka Masala. Gregg had a lamb shank that wasn’t on the menu.
Jim’s entree had a choice of mild, medium or hot. He requested mild. It was too spicy for him to enjoy. The waiter took it back to the kitchen and added vegetables and potatoes to it. Jim said it was better but still wasn’t thrilled with it’s flavor. I wasn’t thrilled with mine either. I figure I try Indian again, but I don’t think Jim is feelin’ the same way. I’ll have to try it again without him.
I've never had Indian food and have no desire to try it. I am so not adventurous like that.
ReplyDeleteWednesday night, John wanted to go into this place near him. It was a flea market/food court of all kinds of Asian junk and food. We walked around and I didn't recognize one single thing I wanted, except to get the heck out of there.
We ended up at Olive Garden. I had lasagna. See? Not adventurous. Oh, and White Chocolate raspberry cheesecake that we took back to his place and ate while watching Lost. He had tiramisu.
Gee! Why are we fat?
I love Indian food!! I'm sorry you didn't have the best experience to start with... I have a Pakistani friend who brings me dahl frequently. Yellow dahl and rice with peas (basmati rice, peas, and seasoning). Yum!
ReplyDelete@Joanie: Diabetes! Carbs!
ReplyDelete@Liz: Some dahl I'll try it again.
I LOOOOVE Indian food, but I do not have a high tolerance for hot. I'm live close to a high Indian population and have about 5 restaurants within a 5 mile radius to choose from. The one thing about indian food though, if you don't like curry, you won't like indian. So, (if you like curry)when you come visit Alix, maybe we can go to my favorite non-hot indian place. Don't give up on it! :)
ReplyDeletePS Any place that has to say "Real Indian" may not be exactly as "real" as they claim... hmm.
Does Jim have any straight brothers? I'd love to get me a man who can do wiring or the like w/out blowing up the house. Handymen are sexy men. :)
ReplyDeleteI've tried Indian food three times. I've come to the conclusion that they don't have "mild". All three times I asked for the mildest thing they had, all three times I got something that stripped the top layer off my tongue.
I'm a spice wimp, to me, the hot stuff doesn't even have a flavor, it's just fire. :P I even have to be careful w/ BBQ sauces, most of those have too much kick. Yup. Spice wimp. Right here.
Joanie M, I'm with ya!
Jim has a brother who is younger, married,a construction supervisor and resides in Georgia. Jim has a 1/2 brother who is a lot younger. Jim has a step brother. :-)
ReplyDeletea RV "50 amp" outlet is actually 2 legs of 120 volts at 50 amps each. So, with your adapter, if it has adequate size wire, you actually have more "power" on each leg than you would on a typical 30 amp plug, which is only 30 amps on one leg of 120 volts.

@Mandi: Uh the not as hot to burning hot ranges won't be a good thing for Jim so we'll have to pass on further tries.
ReplyDelete@John: I'm glad you understood the new math. And see, that's why people like me shouldn't play with electricity!
