After the 90 something days last week… and getting here and it was 90…. I opened up the windows and the vent when I went to bed…. duh… forgot it drops like a rock when the sun goes down… woke up at 1am and shut the window above the bed… then at 6AM it was 53 (by my thermo)… didn’t want to get up at all and knew I would be grabbing some clothes fast… but sure felt good.
Spent some time catching up the blog, picking up some of the stuff I had not actually put up last night, etc. Didn’t even get out till 11am this morning. Then it was into town to check for repair parts… the antenna cable that got pinched… went to the east side where Radio Shack used to be – “out of business” so no parts there. Asked around, went to the “true-value” hardware, two auto parts shops, and the Holiday RV place asking. Then went to the “hi-way CB shop” all with no luck in finding some coax ends to match up the broken pieces… guess I will just attempt a patch and tape for now until I can find the right pieces…
On our way down town we saw this car
I am assuming it is in the area for the NSRA Street Rod National in Pueblo this coming weekend.
If you like old street rods, this will be the place to be next weekend – scenes from 2008
Anyway, after the failure to find parts we made a loop through town – last week was Fib Ark so there was some left over boaters but not much – we then had lunch at the “eatery”… I had the Southwest Burger…burger with Home fires…at the Eatery in Salida, CO.
oh boy… and finished off with a ice-cream cone from McD’s… then back to the “mobile house” for a nap…
It was a very lazy day – enjoying the scenery and cool… But since we didn’t pack any food to cook, we made a trip back into down town for some Moonlight Pizza… it was better than the burger for lunch by far and we had a House salad to go with it… now we have leftover for a few days….
Tomorrow? who knows… if we can get up early, we will make a trip to Leadville for some “homemade” green Chile… not many do the homemade anymore… so it is pretty high on our list of places to check out… if we can get there…
