Awake: 6:33am Temp 50 sleep 7+18 sunny overnight @ Vegas, NV.
1st thing this morning, I make reservations for a campsite in Boulder City, NV. The young lady told me they have only one site available for Monday & Tuesday & it’s ours.
K & I drive downtown to Chicago Joe’s Café & meet Kathy’s brother, Phil, for lunch. It was such a nice visit; casual, warm conversation and really tasty food. Our visits with Phil are always pleasant, though too short and not often enough.
As I was taking pictures of Kathy & Phil outside the Café & they were promising to keep in better touch with each other, Gary & Rosemary call from PA. They tell me a whopper of a story that there has been little snow @ their place since they’ve returned on March 11th. Meanwhile I have been monitoring the local weather in Indiana, PA, Nicktown, PA, & Ebensburg, PA & these towns have been having snow storms, cold weather & wind chills like Alaska, etc; go figure. Anyway, we share talk time with G & R & it was good hearing from them. Among other people, we owe G & R a BIG favor as they kept an eye on our coach over the Christmas holiday plus rode with us to the McCarran Airport & picked us up when we returned & other thoughtful things we won’t forget.
From Chicago Joe’s, we visit Costco & continue stocking up our cupboard & nearly fill Melissa’s small request for items from Costco. Then Trader Joe’s for more of the special groceries we can only find there.
Back @ the motorhome, I call Linda in Anchorage & sign up for another yr of mail forwarding service.
Kevin calls from Indiana, PA; their Burnham series 2A gas boiler quit working today; he is following the trouble shooting manual for the symptoms he is experiencing & questions me about buying a VTVM (Volt Ohm Amp) meter to help in finding the problem. After hanging up, I use Google to find the boiler series Kevin has & maybe get on the same troubleshooting page he is looking at. About (45) min later, I call Kevin & discuss a few other theories I found on the Burnham site that might be causing his boiler to quit.
Jeff calls again from Alaska with more tax return talk.
Dinner: only a good salad; our lunch at Chicago Joe’s filled our stomachs for the day, but we did find room for some popcorn while watching tonight's movie.
We watch a 20/20 presentation on prostitution in America (2) hrs.
DVR movie: “Joy of Living” with Irene Dunne, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Lucille Ball, etc. Delightful screwball musical-comedy about a playboy who will stop @ nothing to win the affection of a bright singing star. 1938. Entertaining & educational; especially for the young & single guys out there who might be looking for pointers on how to catch the lady of your dreams?
Lights out: 12:51pm
