It's been about a month since Zaph had his blood tested, so we made an appointment to have it done at a local animal hospital. I'm happy to report that Zaph's platelet count is in the normal range so all is well.

Don't know if I already mentioned it or not, but our Canadian satellite no longer works in the southern USA. A new satellite was launched in the spring and the signal can be aimed more accurately thus covering only Canada and a small area of the USA. After doing some research Ed found the Dish Network has an RVers package that allows you to pay on a monthly basis. Even better it's actually affordable, so Ed spent part of today activating and setting up the new system. Ed's still going to miss Canadian news but at least he has the SCIFI channel.

As we are going to be in Tucson for a week, John decided that it was worth unpacking the smoker so we had smoked salmon for dinner ...... yum. It was as wonderful as I remembered it.
