Off Road Trip


Ed, Chris, Bob, Sherry and Bobby took an off road trip in February, going from Pahrump to Beatty by dune buggy, quads and motorcycle. They had a great time playing at sand dunes, visiting ghost towns and riding through snow. They can't wait to go again!

Oh No!


The other night we had a power failure in our area that lasted a couple hours. (See post on Steve's blog for other details!) Anyway, the power going out fried our big screen Mitsubishi tv even though it was plugged into a surge protector!! (Of course!) All we have now is a flashing light on the front of it. We spent quite some time trying to get it to work once the power came on, but with no luck. Finally I got on Mitsubishi's website and found 5 authorized service providers in LV. Called the first one, no longer in business, called the second, third, fourth and fifth, and got the same response from every one of them!!! I nearly had to reach through the phone and pick them up off the floor they were laughing so hard once I told them my tv is 9 years old! They all said, it's trash, no parts available!! I could not believe such a thing, so I got back onto Mitsubishi's website and went to their parts ordering page, put in my model number and got the following line in BIG RED LETTERS...."0 parts available". So sad, what to do now, no tv downstairs! We have been discussing some ideas for the future about redoing family room, but were looking about 5 years down the road...Seems as though everything we have is falling apart and costing me money!!

On Duty!


Some people have scarecrows to keep the birds out of their gardens, I have Tigger. She goes out every morning to sit on the warm dirt in the sun and sunbathe. Even though her vision is very poor, even with her eyes open (!), she might still be an intimidating presence as she rests among my strawberries and green beans!! She really is cute though!
