Awake: 6:43am Temp 35 sleep 6+07 partly sunny overnight @ Pahrump, NV.
Zack calls from Seattle @ 11:20am. KT reports to Zack that while driving his car the rear section of the car makes thumping noises riding on smooth roads. I ask Zack if it might be my old fan bouncing around in his trunk. Slight giggles follow & then I suggest that he push the back side of the car from side to side checking for a loose wheel; then to push down on each side of the trunk & check for a bad shock. By this time, another fellow appeared on the scene & helped Zack follow thru with the procedure. Nothing unusual was found @ this time but they agree to keep monitoring the situation.
@ 1:15pm I call Saddle West & check for my anticipated package from Newell. “Yes,” the lady told me; “You have a big package waiting over here.” I drive the Suzuki, pick up the replacement Cadet Heater & bring it inside our motorhome.
Next, I walk over to Smith’s grocery store & buy some milk for Kathy’s return.
Then I leave @ 4:50pm for the Las Vegas McCarran Airport to pick up Nurse Kathy; driving down from Spring Mountain towards the Las Vegas valley late this afternoon at this time of year is fantastic; the lights are absolutely spectacular. My arrival time (6:00pm) was earlier than I planned so I select long term parking in the event her flight is delayed; walk to the baggage area & casually observe the aisle that the monitor read for baggage claim. By golly, she was right on schedule & our eyes found each other with little effort.
On the return trip to Pahrump, Kathy talked a mile a minute. She was like a head nurse reporting to the attractive doctor & had only a few minutes to do so. Back @ our coach, we have a cold leftover meatloaf sandwich on whole wheat bread, then sit & talk casually some more before having popcorn while watching the DVR movie: “Disraeli” with George Arliss, Joan Bennett, Florence Arliss, Anthony Bushell, etc. Somewhat stagy but effective vehicle for Arliss, who won Oscar as cunning British prime minister…a great statesman, devoted husband & matchmaker (for Bennett & Bushell). 1929. Not a good choice for Kathy…..she was all wound up until this rather slow but somewhat interesting story took too long to unfold; plus she’s into her 15 hours of being awake since her 6:00am wakeup @ the Foote home. There is a message here: don’t even think of watching this movie unless you’re wide awake.
