Pigging Out on Seafood

One thing you can count on in casino country and that’s a great seafood buffet on Friday nights.  That’s exactly what we found at Sam’s Town in Las Vegas.  We jumped in the Jeep with Joe and headed into town.  Our plan was to meet friends, Steve and Carol.  In addition to plenty of conversation we chowed down on lots of succulent crab, shrimp, clams, mussels and a whole lot more.  Actually you could say we really did pig out.

The next night we returned to the Brewery Pub in Boulder City.  Joe, Toni, Doug and cousin, Shelley, joined us for another meal out.  The weather’s been gorgeous and sometimes when it’s nice, we pick the restaurant by whether or not it has outside seating.  That was our last meal out for a while.  We’ve more than contributed to the local economy and the restaurant business.  We also don't want to pack on more pounds so we’re back to eating in for a while.

We figured it was time to get our little Treks down off the bicycle rack and do a little riding.  We definitely need a little exercise especially with all that food we've be putting away. At least they say that exercise helps.

We’ve been wondering what to make of this truck.  Notice that it is plugged in.  Temperatures haven’t dipped below 45 at night so why does he plug it in?

I mentioned a while back that my laptop has developed a problem.  I really, really hate changing laptops.  It’s not just transferring all the data.   It’s also hoping you can re-authenticate all the software loaded on it. My laptop is only two years old but the flashing screen isn’t fun.  The drivers are up-to-date, the registry clean and there are no viruses. I even connected another monitor to my laptop.  Now if it were a software issue, the other monitor would probably flash when the laptop flashes.  It didn’t.  Thus, it's probably hardware.  How long will it take to really give out?  That's a big question.

The good news is it doesn’t flash all the time.  The other good news is if my screen totally blacked out,  I’d be able to use a monitor.  When Terry upgraded his laptop last month we thought we would give his 3 year old laptop to someone who needed it.  Now I’m just going to hang on to it for a spell.

Things will be quiet around here for a while.  Steve and Carol headed off to Zion.  Joe left for Yuma and the Lairds will be heading a little farther south on Monday.

‘Tis life on the road.

Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday.
