Hi: Still in Sheridan, WY. At least the rain has stopped for a while. There are rain clouds still around all the mountains around us, and we can see snow on some of them the clouds let us see. The wind has picked up again. Reports said 8 MPH WNW winds. Well, I'm sure they are stonger than that, as they rock the motor home.
Amy and I went downtown today just to see what the town looked like. A beautiful OLD Western town, that is perfectly clean. Even found a Dairy Queen that was open and got in line of about 10 cars ordering stuff. It was a little after noon, so I guess church just let out and they were getting their dinner. We just got a cone apiece. Very good lunch.
Went to WalMart again. Amy picked up another little heater. She said there were only two heaters on the shelf, then realized that Summer is coming in now, and that was the reason there were few heaters, and lots of fans. A lady even made acomment at checkout that it seems like winter is coming back!!!!
Received a notice from Discover Card that they sent me a set of new cards with new numbers and I need to activate them. Wrote them back of our situation, and would not be able to get the new cards, and would like to keep the old ones. They wrote back that the old ones would run out in 45 days and would be no good after that. They would be glad to send me some emergency cards at a hotel or where ever we are. I gave them the address of this campground and told them we would be here till 27 May. After that I have to forwarding address, and if I don't get them by then they will loose lots of business during this trip. Have not heard from them yet. Most of the campgrounds will not take Discover Card, only Mastercard or Visa. Have a couple Mastercards, so we are OK. Mastercard will be happy with Discover Card. Did have to change a couple outfits that send their monthly bills to Discover, like AOL, and DirecTV. I changed them to Mastercard from now on. Discover was going to get most of the gasoline charges though. They will be the looser as far as I am concerned.
Also, could not get in to my bank account. I set it up so I could get my bank statement, rather than have someone send it to me, but I could not get in. I think it is because I never used this computer to get in there before we left, and the security won't recognize this computer. Sent them an email, but won't hear anything till after the holiday weekend.
Nothing new about the mechanical condition of the motor home. Don't want to mess with it while it is all level and the slides are out and not leaking. Once I let the jacks down I may not get them level again....Will do a little more checking on Tuesday to see if I can get in to the Workhorse place in Billings before Thursday.
Called Ken, who is picking up my mail and asked him to open my bank statement and scan it and send it to me. That will work well. That was the first plan, but found out I could get the statement on line. But that didn't work.
Well, guess it's time to read a book, or watch TV. Good 70 channel cable TV here, as well as good WiFi for the email.
Bob Boardman called last night, and he had rain all day yesterday. At times it was so bad he could hardly see. The first campground they had planned to stay at was a lake, so they had to find another. Found one, but no TV cable, not WiFi. They should be well on their way to Shelby today. Hope they have better weather. It shows it's still raining up there. Wish them well..
