Yuma or Bust


Mesquite, Nevada            High 61 Low 36

Update: We left home by 9:00 this morning and took Teesa home. We got away from their home at about 11:00.

We had an uneventful ride until we stopped at Costco in St. George for gas. They were really busy and I left the car running while I waited for my turn at the pump. So far so good. After fueling I tried to start the car and all it would do is turn over, so the attendants helped me push the car into a parking space. At this time I’m thinking we might have to call somebody to come and look, but I raised the hood and wiggled a few wires. I really didn’t find anything wrong, but when I tried to start it again, it started. All I can think is that it overheated a little bit and opening the hood let it cool off enough to start. I guess we almost busted.

We then went to Scarp Apple Quilts, where Cindy found some matching material on sale, some of it for $3.00 a yard. We spent about $35.00 on material (as if we don’t have enough).

Again the car started without even a whimper, and we drove to Mesquite, where we are staying the night.

Tomorrow we will leave early to go to Yuma.

I will tell the reason for the trip to Yuma in a later post.


Thanks for visiting.
