Back on the mountain (for a little while)
Mar. 7th, 2024 10:18 pmSomewhere along the line from Nashville to McCarran, I managed to lose my hat. Not having the patience to deal with Uber, I took a taxi to the Stratosphere, checked in, and paused only to check my blood sugar before going downstairs to Chi for some kung pao chicken noodles and some fried dumplings, which were good even if I did have to pay casino prices for them.
When I woke up Tuesday morning, I went back to bed for another hour before rising, jamming everything into the suitcase & backpack, and summoning an Uber to head for Pep Boys, where they'd done a lot of work on the Kia ($900 worth) but forgot to change out the wipers. Welp.
From there it was up to the Dunkin' on E. Lake Mead and then the Maverik on Tropical to top off, acquire more fluids, doughnuts, and pork bundles, and head out of town with a brief stop at the NSB on Aliante to get some cash.
After that, it was the usual long and boring drive home, with only one stop at Indian Springs for fluids and snacks. Got home around 1600, lugged my bags upstairs, and saw to my sorrow that the heat/AC hadn't been fixed in my absence. Managed to crank out one blog entry before running out of oomph and retiring to bed.
I've spent a couple of days trying to reach the accounting department at the VA with no luck so far. On the other hand, there's someone doing cleaning in town, and they'll be over tomorrow to see the extent of the job they're taking on. Speaking of the VA, I have to go down the mountain for podiatry
The draft in Pete's league has continued. Got Rick Reichardt in the 8th round, Vicente Romo in the 9th, Eddie Fisher in the 10th, Ed Farmer in the 11th, John Lowenstein in the 12th, and Frank Howard in the 13th. I think I have four more picks left until I hit the 32-man roster limit.
