Riverton, Utah High 79 Low 54
The weather today has been perfect. Sunday it got to 93 in Yuma and I had to wait until about 6:30 to load the car, so all our food we were bring back didn't get too hot. Tomorrow is supposed to be nice temperatures with wind and the weather guessers are predicting more snow on Thursday.
When we left Monday morning it was at about 5:30, and we were expecting about 12 hours with stops to get home in Utah. The first delay was in Las Vegas, where the freeway was backed up for almost 8 miles before getting on I 15, so I got off 515 and went to the Boulder Highway to avoid the backed-up traffic. Of course this took more time.
The next delay was just after getting into Arizona, about 10 miles before the Virgin Narrows on I 15. There was road construction that had the freeway down to one lane each. So we went for almost 5 miles at 5 MPH before we could get any speed again. Unfortunately, there was no way to go around it and there was lots of traffic. As a result our trip took about 13 1/2 hours.
We always turn our water off when we leave for the winter, and when I turned it back on, I found several leaks. So today I was busy all day playing plumber. The kitchen sink had an O-ring leaking that got everything under the sink wet before I noticed it. Our bathroom toilet valve wouldn't shut all the way off. One of the downstairs toilets had a supply line leaking from dried out gaskets and the line had to be replaced. Lots of fun.
In between we had to pick up leaves then hadn't got raked up, so Cindy and I were busy all day.
Sorry no pictures today.
Thanks for visiting.
Glad you are back safely. Water leaks are not fun. Hopefully you can both unwind a little bit.
