I drove to Salida yesterday to have lunch with Escapees Chapter 38. They meet at the Elks Lodge the first Thursday of every month for some yummy food, good conversation and bad jokes. They have 4 or 5 rallies every year, which I usually can't attend since I always seem to be in Arizona instead. They immediately noticed my Balloon Fiesta shirt and wanted all the information on attending next year. I hope they can make it ... actually I hope "I" can make it too!!
No trip North can be made without a stop at the fabric store, but I was disappointed this time. Not only did they not provide any service at all ... I had to chase down the cashier ... their selection of fabrics is going downhill. I guess I'm back to JoAnns and Hobby Lobby. I did get a little more sewing done on this quilt. It's called Quilt Alaska and is one of my favorites!! This came from the Rushin' Tailor or Russian Tailor (whatever it's called) in Skagway!! Check it out of you get up that way. They do have a website online, but that was even more disappointing than my local store. Guess I'll just have to drive back up there and check them out in person!!!
We put batteries in ours this summer at Sam's Club. It's a good feeling to know, it will start when you turn the key.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly Jan!! Those batteries are pricey, but worth it!!
DeleteWhen Gail & I got back home last Friday the battery in her convertible was dead as a door nail. Put it on trickle charge for 20 hours, no help. Of course the car was pointed straight into the garage. We had to empty the RV, move the RV to the storage area, move the patio furniture in the other side of the garage to the pool area, drive the jeep into the garage to jump the battery. First attempt did not work, second attempt worked fine. Ran the car for a hour and the battery is good as new. Oh, the battery was just replaced a year ago when it would not start upon our return from that RV trip. Probably was not the battery but the battery connection. Jim
ReplyDeleteIt's just such a pain when they don't start, right?? After the first 5 month trip, they worked just fine ... this one was a little too long. At least they charged up enough to get me to the repair shop!!
