March 13 Saturday 2010 Pahrump
We must remember to change the clocks ahead tonight.
It is very windy and cold . It even blew our satalite dish over so Bill puts it away. We go out for dinner with Clark and Shelia for a 2 for 1 dinner at the casino . I clean most of the day as we are leaving for Vegas tomorrow. I check the weather forecast and it is snowing in Wells so Bill looks at going back to I-5 and discovers it is only 30 miles further.
REMEMBER-Over prepare then go with the flow.

We go to Symphony ( the restaurant in the park with the winery) for lunch. It was very good. Shelia beats me at scrabble again. Tonight is Pokino night . We had enough for two tables. I broke even at the end.

7 ladies drive to Vegas in one van. We are thrifting. I find 2 push cars like new( one that they sit in and move with their feet) I get them for $5:50 each. We check out toys-R-us and they wanted $24:95. Mine looked brand new. I am a happy camper. We go to lunch at Sweet Tomatoes. Yum (Corner of Stephnie and Warm Springs. )We left the RV park at 8.30 and didn't get back until 6:30. Sure gland I had a stew in the croak pot.
REMEMBER-Of all the things you wear, your expression is the most important.

March 2 Tuesday 2010 Pahrump-I suffer with hay fever all day. At first I thought it started from the dust in making the twins blocks, but I haven't been in the woodworking room all day . I take a hay fever pill but it doesn't seem to help. I try to sleep it off but that doesn't work either. I sit with watering eyes and a runny nose not pleasant. A great day weather wise , sunny and warm. Tomorrow I hope to go with the girls in the park to Vegas shopping at 8:30 am.
REMEMBER-A sharp tongue can cut your own throat.

March 1 Monday 2010 Pahrump I can't believe it's the end of February already. Today I check out the library to see if they are having any computer classes. Yes on Wednesday and that is the day I am going to Vegas with the girls in this park so I will try for the following Wednesday. I return to the park and head for the woodworking room. I make 50 blocks for the twins 1-1/2 square. They only charged me $2 for the use of the room AND the wood. REMEMBER-When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.

Today we leave at 830 to meet Hudson and Dina at Mandalay Bay in Vegas at 10am. We both get there early. WE walk the strip I show them the highlights. We have lunch at planet Hollywood. I am busy taking pictures on Dina's camera and wanted to turn the flash off and somehow deleted everything they have on their camera and Hudson didn't download to his computer. I sure felt like shit. We walked the strip, did Paris Paris, Bellagio, Mirage and Caesars Palace then the Venetian. Bill walks back to the truck after Caesars Palace we continue on . Hudson walks back and get the truck for us girls . We walk to McDonalds next to Circus Circus. It takes him over 1 hour to return ,rush hour time. On our way back to Pahrump we encounter a snow storm over the Red Rock canyon Pass. A good 2” had fallen even snow plows were on the road, but once over the pass everything settled down. A good time was had by all.
REMEMBER-So many places so little time , where to begin , just do it.

March 7 Friday
This week the Pahrump area has offered lots of computer classes- 2 at our park and 2 at the Library so I have been learning a lot. Wednesday was a fun day as a bunch of women drove to Vegas had lunch at Sweet Tomatoes ( a salad buffet ) highly recommended. There is one in Tucson too. We shopped until we dropped. Shannon e-mailed us . She is overwhelmed getting the boat ready ,hiring new crew isn't easy. She was denied a drivers license after she gave up her Canadian license , they somehow sorted that out. Then they lost her green card in the mail and she had to reapply at her own cost. She is not a happy camper. Next she is having problems with the people who are redoing the floor and walls. They are making a real mess (dust) They have some of their new furniture there. not good.
The new owners arrive on the boat March 17. They will docked at South Beach Miami. They stay for 5 days before the boat will leave for the Bahamas a 16 hour trip. Here the 0wner's 17 year old son with his friends will be on board. A graduation present. They stay until March 28 when the boat returns to Fort Lauderdale. They will stay here all of April (putting on a 200,000 AV upgrade.

March 2 Sunday Pahrump
Sunny but very windy 52. @ 9:30. Today we we start out with a picnic lunch to Ash Meadows 26 mi from Pahrump and 9 mi from Death Valley junction. We hike into Kings pool and Point of rock springs. Here we see pup fish in crystal clear bluesh pool. Next we drive to Devils Hole a flooded cave. We hike up and peer into the cavern where a small 500'(152m) deep hole whose bottom has never been mapped. The water is said to be 92'F ( hottest spring in Ash Meadows). We met a ranger their and she also took us up to the bat caves nearby. Next we drive to the visitors center (closed) but we walk the interpretive board walk to Crystal Springs, We flush out a cottontail from under the boardwalk. We see pup fish here too. A beautiful clear pool with overflow water going into a fast moving stream. This is one of 30 springs that discharge 10,000 gallons of water every minute. The average water temperature is 87' F. Virtually all of the water at Ash Meadows is “fossil” water believed to have entered the ground water system thousands of years ago. All very facinating. We drive up to John Longstreet's cabin and hot spring as well as the Fairbanks springs. Time to return home. 63' now but still windy.

I had a great morning as I attended a good computer class from 9am-12. Fred gave a hour on a lesson then the rest any computer help needed. Boy did I need help. We did get some problems solved but have many more questions to go.
