Today has been a very strange day with our electronic devices. Batteries all of a sudden gone down to zero, my MacBook is doing funky things, and the electronic awning has decided to be stuck in the closed position (thank goodness it's not the extended position). I did a diagnostic on the computer and it says my hard drive has corrupted files - this after it took 8 minutes to boot up and told me it was a "safe boot." I've never seen that before. Roger's phone works, then it doesn't, then it does again. The only thing that seems to be normal is my iPhone and I don't want to jinx that by saying anything about it too loudly! Maybe we are too close to Devil's Tower where the aliens landed in the movie "Close Encounters." Maybe it wasn't fiction.
Regarding the awning: For those of you who aren't familiar with an RV and are thinking they must have bought a piece of junk since Roger is always fixing something. Well, remember, as we go down the highway, the jostling and jiggling of the rig over the potholes, cattle guards, train tracks, and other assorted bumps in the road, is like a thousand little earthquakes happening each mile. Things get rattled loose. Actually it's amazing that there aren't more issues to deal with each night than what we are seeing on this new rig.
Had lunch out then we restocked the fridge and pantry after finding the grocery store way the heck on the other side of town. This afternoon we did some more laundry while we relaxed. There was a couple in the laundry room from Reno. She was wearing her WolfPack shirt!! Cloudy and windy today in the low-80s.
I am now testing a theory on the dog's actions when we leave her alone in the RV. It seems that if we go out on the same day as we drive (such as to get fuel) she has major separation anxiety. and misbehaves. When we leave her like we did today after being her one night, she is happy to see us when we get home, goes a bit crazy with her greeting, but nothing is destroyed in the rig. I'm going to start paying more attention to that. If that's the case Roger is going to have to go get fuel all by himself :-)
Tomorrow we go south on I-25 to Cheyenne, WY. We have two nights there and I really hope to do some sightseeing. From what I can tell there are touristy things to do there. So far we really aren't too impressed with central Wyoming, but maybe since it's the capital there will be fun things to do.
