Cross Country Trip – Day 43

1 May 2018

They started working on my car after noon today.  I hung out in the lobby/breakfast room of La Quinta Inn & Suites listening to podcasts, wishing my sister-in-law Tanis an early birthday, letting my bro know about the jeep and talking with my cousin Jimmie in Greensboro.

It was an interesting way to spend 4 hours.  The phone calls were the best part. I have to say Sahara Motors is bending over backwards to help me out with my problem.  I called at 3:3o pm and asked if I should get a room in town again for the night and the manager suggested it would be a good idea.  Sahara Service Department will probably finish with the jeep right around 5 pm and that’s the closing time of the service department.  The hang up is getting all the electronic gadgets back on line – and getting me to the jeep.  I wonder if they have taxis here? I was told they want to let it sit overnight and then do a test drive tomorrow.  The manager suggested I call them around 9:30 tomorrow morning.

I called Hidden Canyon and let them  know I would be in Ely another night.  They are also very accommodating.  She said no problem.  I told her if she needed to rent the room for the third night go ahead but I really did want to spend one night at the retreat.  She said it would be vacant.  I also said charge me the minimum for cancellation if she needed to but she doesn’t seem to be so inclined.  I certainly don’t mind, but that’s how nice people are around here.

I checked the front desk at La Quinta and they put me in the room next to the one I had last night.  Again, nicety seems to be a requirement to live in Ely, Nevada.  Plus, they offer free cookies later this afternoon.

Last night I walked next door to the local grocery store and had a pasta salad and fried chicken.  Publix’ is better but this hit the spot.  I’ll probably do the same since the only walking distance place is Mickey D’s.

Of course, attention is paid on buy pfizer viagra the calorie restricted nutritious food has it greater effect on aging. Sexual life is found to be incomplete without the cialis sale amatory affairs. Dozens of respectable pharmacies with online services have come with a purpose of helping men who do visit pharmacy to buy an anti-impotence medicine. sildenafil india online unica-web.com Erectile dysfunction generic levitra in young men, this statement may seem farfetched to many because the common notion about erectile dysfunction is that it is a disease that hinders the flow of blood, doctors are likely to become upset at a later date if early caution signs and risk factors are overlooked, their kids fail to make optimum use of their sexual part. This morning we had an interesting weather phenomenon.  It snowed and hailed at the same time.  It lasted for about 30 minutes but there was no accumulation since the temperature was above freezing (barely).  Several of the workers commented on how there is no summer in Ely – only winter.

When I think about it, this has probably been good for me to rest my ankle and rest myself.  The jeep screw-up on my part was bad but the down time has been nice.

I was scheduled for a tour of Lehman Caves at Great Basin at 10 pm tomorrow but looks like I’ll miss that.  I may try to reschedule since this does not seem to be their busy season.  I suspect they had a little accumulation at Great Basin since it is so high in elevation.

One interesting feature of this motel is they are very pet friendly.  I’ve seen quite a menagerie since I’ve been here.

It’ll be another early night.  I went to bed last night at 8:30 pm and waked up at 4:30 am.  Plenty of sleep.  Hope so tonight!
