Danger Will Robinson!!

There's a wide range of stuff going on here at Lost Horse Ranch.  I've just added toilet bowl seal repair in the rig to my list of fix-it items.  It's not holding water like it should.  The list is long for minor things, but you know they will charge at least an hour for each item.

Here's an example.  On the dash is a drawer your passenger can pull out to hold a computer while cruising down the highway.  It has decided it doesn't like to be closed, except when I come to a stop and it slams shut.  Too bad it doesn't want to STAY there.  I imagine it's just an adjustment issue, but I can't figure out HOW.

Here's one that is NOT my problem, nor would I ever let it be.  This too small rig is pulling a huge heavy trailer with a car and several bicycles attached.  They may not know it, but that trailer is swerving all over the road.  Danger Will Robinson!!!  Luckily I snuck by as far to the left as I could go.

Talk about DANGER, here's one in a small package that's even scarier.  He took my offramp at 20 mph, stopping 100 feet before the stop sign.  He pulled up a tad and stopped again, THREE times.  Thankfully, no one was coming as he inched out into the roadway, turning left and continued at 10 mph across the freeway to the ON RAMP!!!  DANGER Will Robinson!!  He's going back ON the freeway!!!  You can see there is no one coming .... he stopped anyway, just to be sure!!

I suppose I'm a product of the ranch ... we were driving our old World War II Jeep at 5 and 6 years old because the water needed to be changed or the cattle needed to be checked.  Dad screwed a piece of 2x4 on to the pedals so we could reach them.  By the time we got our drivers license at 15, we had been driving 9-10 years!!!  The good news is the car is highly visible so you will see him coming!

With the weather warming up to a fabulous 70 degrees with sunshine, I hiked the perimeter of the ranch looking for critters to photograph.  I found not a single breathing thing.  Someone has cut the wires on the fence leading to the train tracks, but I see no evidence of vehicles.  Only javelina tracks.  

I did find these interesting specimens.  At first I thought they were petrified wood, but there are smaller rocks melted to the back.  Anyone have any ideas?  Lava maybe??  There's not a lot, and it's mostly by the tracks.  

One quick trip yesterday to Hobby Lobby scored 4 yards of fabric for $17.  I have to say that store is HUGE and has so much neat stuff it's hard to walk the aisles.  DANGER Will Robinson!!  I could fill up three baskets full of stuff for the house!!  I got sidetracked several times before finding the fabric I needed for that charity quilt.  

Fabric runs around $10-12 a yard.  I paid $4 ... yup four dollars a yard.  I was a happy camper and resolved to go there more often, but only if I'm wearing blinders.

Here's my thought for the day, right up my alley.  I'm cooking lunch for the girls tomorrow, the Barbacoa Beef I've made twice with great results.  I chickened out on the rice and bought some pre-cooked heat-it-up kind ... it's an experiment!!

I'm also making a no-bake key lime pie for dessert.  Keep your fingers crossed for me!  I need all the help I can get!
