Woke up late today and headed towards New Mexico to get the tow chain loops re-welded.\u00a0 The owner was so nice and the charge was pocket change. Wow, was John ever lucky.\u00a0 Had it been expensive he might have had to hear about it for weeks!\u00a0\u00a0 We walked a few blocks waiting for the welder to finish and found a really small gun and ammo shop to slip into and warm up.\u00a0 Didn\u2019t hear English until we checked out and the place was crowded.\u00a0 Didn’t dare take pictures!\u00a0 Made me glad we are picking up my Grandfather\u2019s shot gun from my cousin\u2026seems like everyone close to the border carries.<\/p>\n
As we were driving home we passed miles and miles of orchards on both sides.\u00a0 Just a few miles after the orchards there were miles and miles of cattle stock yards.\u00a0 The smell was overwhelming even with the inside filter on.\u00a0 Glad we were only passing through.<\/p>\n
When we returned to the LilyPad, just as I predicted and of course I let John know about it, we ended up re-buying several things we had donated.\u00a0 Included in the list were large batteries, a refrigerator fan, extra towels for wet dogs and some lite weight shoes for rainy days.\u00a0 I keep reminding John that retirement means not working and not working means no big paycheck\u2026of course that all changes when I want something.<\/p>\n
