Bits and pieces ...

A bit of catch up here for what we have been doing and right now we are in Carson City Nevada. As usual sometimes the connection on the road is iffy especially when we move every day or so.

- First ... Buster. He was diagnosed with diabetes in Bryan and we give him his insulin shot twice a day but he continues total incontinence and we are getting diapers to keep him going. This is a bit frustrating and we will have him checked again when we stop in California for a breather.

- Fuel prices right now are not bad at $4.19 and we will fill up tomorrow before going into California. The Flying Scotsman has averaged 8.2 mile per gallon for the 2,000 miles so far from our departure in Bryan.

- In Vegas as we unhooked the bus from the car I placed the quick connect bar off the car on the ground near the bus and promptly ran over it ... 20 tons of RV can really bend metal. This is a serious situation as without this piece you will not tow the car, period. I found a local RV repair garage and Frank said .... "Yep, all ya got to do is pound it a bit with a big hammer,"  I sort of knew that but didn't have a big enough hammer. Fixed for $28 and good to go.

- The ATT Hotspot I am using for internet is wonderful so far. Compared to the first year we were doing this we have not had to use any of the local WIFI services at all and just use the hotspot thing ... great.

Anyway that is a bunch of travel related stuff and we have about 300 pictures of our run through Death Valley and to here in Carson City to post but I have to sort it out first ... but the scenery has been breathtaking to say the least ... wow!
