Trailer is in Des Moines

We received word yesterday that the trailer has arrived in Des Moines - yipee! We experienced some frustration when we couldn't figure out a way to get a cashier's check from our banks in California to either us or to the trailer dealer. There aren't any reciprocal relationships between the credit union in California and those in Colorado
and there are no Bank of America branches in Colorado, only ATM locations. We did get it figured out after many phone calls and 'the check is in the mail'. We hope to get word that we can pick up the trailer early next week.

PJ is now working on installations we need on the truck for towing the trailer.

These areas had a wall of water over 10' high go through their communities resulting in several feet of mud being distributed into their modest homes. The loss of their mattresses, all furniture, clothing, linens, food, etc. In addition these areas do not have drinking water easily available. They are resorting to collecting water from the still flowing creeks that more than likely have dead animals in them contaminating the water....but what other options do they have? NONE. This is an old folks home where the residents had to climb a rickety ladder and spend the night on the roof to escape the rushing

Feels Like Summer

The day time temps have been in the 90s this week with the lows getting only into the 60s. It makes for a beautiful day to take out a friend's yacht and spot Finback whales. If this is a preview of temps this summer, we are in big (and we mean brutally hot but tons of fun) trouble.
