Flat tires - Las Vegas is a city of construction zones. I've
had 3 flats in less than a year - March 2019, July 2019, and today, February
2020. Today's was a shock in that it was a metal spike about 4/5" long in
the sidewall. I had been to a free event last night with a neighbor as a
passenger. I'm sure it happened on the way home, in the dark, when even with
headlights, some things are just not seen on the ground as we roll over them.
Anyhow, of the three, one was a simple repair and the other two required new
tires as replacements. The good thing this time around is that I had finally
bought a "donut" last year so I had a neighbor change it which saved
me the time/trouble of a tow. I no longer find it easy to climb up into those
mile-high tow cabs.
Great parties - Our senior mobile home park was 50 years old
on February 26 and management and the owners (three brothers, sons of the
original owner), threw residents a great party atop the Eastside Cannery
hotel/casino. Dinner (buffet), DJ, dance floor, free photo booth, and at least
a dozen gift cards raffled off. We also each got a free canvas tote and heavy
coffee mug. Almost 300 RSVPd and I had volunteered with a friend to check them
off as they arrived. The whole thing went very well, and it was a very nice
event. Hmmm. Wonder if I can make it to the next 50th (I'd be 130) or at least
the 75th (I'd be 105).
Chocolate - As usual, I gave it up for Lent. I rarely have
trouble with this. I know I don't really have to but it satisfies something
inside me. Plus it motivates me to do something I really ought to do. 40 days
and 40 nights aren't all that bad, and certainly my minor deprivation is
nothing compared to His days in the desert and mountains over 2000 years ago.
Good feeling. So I made sure to stash what was here until Easter morning.
Rolling along...
