More quiet times

 Like I've been saying it's been quiet times around Pahrump.  Of course all the flags are at half-mast today 22 years after 9/11.  

It is nice and dry around here again.  Some areas of the town did get more rain and therefore runoff than we did.  Odd because we are in a flood zone and are required to have flood insurance and we got almost no rain but there you are.  We were supposed to get an hours worth of rain yesterday but it was the "walk along and ocassionally feel a drip" kind of rain.  We did have cloud cover pretty much all day.  We did take the opportunity to go out to lunch at our local casino.  We always have to take the dog, Gus, because he just goes crazy in the house when he is left alone.  So he got to sit in the 82F degree car for an hour or so.  We keep the house at 78F so it's not that much of a torture.  We left the windows down a couple inches for him and there was no sign of rain entering the car.  It's the desert.

Last week the car battery just was FLAT.  Nothing would work so I charged it and hoped that it would start and it did.  Unfortunately this car has all kinds of electronic toys that require power and they are AFU.  The navigation system just disappeared.  The backup camera is dead.  We have managed to reconnect the system to our phones but gee that isn't much!  It looks like I'll be calling Ford for some assistance.  

Well, that's about it.  My wife is still doing PT on her ankle.  I may be going soon for my hip.  Getting old does have it's downside.  Take care & thanks for stopping by.
