Woefully Behind, and Trying to Catch Up.

We got back from Mom’s remembrance ceremonies and my family vacation on July 20th. The day before we stopped by Boxabl in Las Vegas and took the factory tour. It was somewhat disappointing in that they are still months away from full production. Jill loved the concept, but wasn’t prepared to put a large deposit down, since they couldn’t project when her unit would be produced.

We got into town about 2:00pm and immediately rescued the cat. Jill and Dawn met AT and approved of my decision on the home site. We also discovered that the 12v battery in the trailer had failed (boiled enough of the water away) and without 12v the freezer/reefer doesn’t cool, even in propane mode. So, I spent the first couple of hours mucking out the defrosted food in the freezer and most everything in the reefer. I topped off the battery water and got it back to life.

After a side trip to Wal-Mart, I gave the girls a tour of Casper including a trip half-up Mount Casper to the viewpoint that overlooks the whole valley.

They flew out Saturday, July 23rd, after thoroughly cleaning my kitchen and bathroom. It’s now after midnight on July 27th (i.e. the 28th) and I have many updates on the status of the house, the well water pump and reverse osmosis system to make yet, amplifying info to follow.

We are Fam-i-ly

So, I left my brother Jon frantically struggling with AT to finish the house-wrap, installing windows and doors and getting the interior walls defined and wired.

I met with my 3 sisters, Dawn (Sis), Jill and Jan (along with Mike, Terry and Voula). Together we attended a concert by the Grassroots (a band from circa 1965-1975. Below is a short intro to the band. (You may have to wait for it to load.)

It was wonderful experience of bonding with my sisters. We also regaled Terry and Voula with various tales of our growing up and early navy experiences.
