The Boys

Enjoying an afternoon nap.  Notice that Quam makes for a nice pillow.

The Dangberg Ranch

This is a ranch site that dates to the late 1800s.  The original home site is still there, but that is surrounded by private property in the fertile Carson Valley just south of Genoa.  Ideal land for cattle ranching.

Another old truck

Parked in front of what was the service station in Bodie, Ca.  I bet it runs ( see late model headlights).  It would be a get rig for riding in a parade.  Does Bodie have a fourth of July celebration?

Another cool old truck

I like trucks.  Old trucks, new trucks, big trucks, little trucks.  This one is parked at Boeger Winery just outside of Placerville, Ca.  Nice place.  The wine was not my favorite.  R and I prefer the sweeter tastes and so most wines do not appeal to us.  Wine snobs, we are definitely not !

  Placerville is a very nice town for spending a day.  Nice downtown area.  Lots of variety in the shops.  I enjoyed the "Army Surplus" store.  Lots of camo.  Lots of military stuff.
The Hardware store is a definite "Must See".  It has been there for over a hundred years.  Everything from soup to nuts.  It was a blast just wandering around checking things out.  I asked the clerk, "How do you inventory this place?"  He said, "We don't.  We are grandfathered by the state."   It's a good thing because it would take days, or weeks, or ........  A place to check out when you a there.  Many antique shops as well.

Good morning

     I woke up early today. 4:50  I wanted to print my statements from the bank and American Express.  To get online here at Tahoe you have to beat the herd.  Trying later on is sloooow at best and not worth the effort so you go into town to make calls or get up early to get on the computer.

   Today is the day my new Costco card is active.  The old American Express card is not.  Imagine the shock to Amex today.  I bet the guy responsible for that account loss is now selling used cars somewhere.  It downloaded my bank information, but getting unto Amex's site did not happen.  "This page is not responding.  Try again later."   Yah right!!

Rhodies

Rhodies blooming out the back window of the Pope house.  They seem to do well even though they are covered in snow in the winter.

It needs some work

Just a little tweeking and some new tires and she will be ready for you.
