Typical Work Day

Since my schedule was changed from a 3:30 PM start time to a 2:30 start time, the free time is shorter for us every work day. That, coupled with sleeping in a little longer as a result of our late quiting time at work, makes it tougher to plan for any visits to interesting locations on our work days. By the time we finish breakfast, there are only a few hours left. So, we have taken that time to do our necessary chores. Josie did laundry yesterday, and I ran a telephone cord from our power pedestal to the opposite side of our fifth wheel so we could have the use of a land line phone while we are here. Every site here has the capability to connect a free land line which we haven't used for over a year. The only thing we would use it for would be for faxing documents from our rig. There hasn't been much need for that but since it's free, we decided to connect it anyway.

We have been getting more input from people at work about future trips to the Grand Tetons and Jackson, WY. It will be the main destination once we have seen as much as we can at Yellowstone. That trip may require an overnight stay, so we'll see. We are also trying to schedule a couple days to visit the Buffalo Bill Historical Center here in town. We have been saving that visit for a time when we can visit on 2 consecutive days which is what the admission price allows. There are 5 museums there and we would like to spend some time in each of them. They do offer a family membership for $65 which allows free admission anytime for up to 12 months, but we feel the $13 senior admission, for each person, for 2 consecutive days would allow us to see most of everything we want to see. Josie also wants to take a ride - about 20 miles - outside of town to see where the Wild Mustangs roam. That may be a trip that we can do anytime.

There is a farewell get together today for a couple that has to leave so that the husband can have back surgery. He is an individual that I worked with for a short time at the front desk until his back flared up and he had to schedule the surgery by his Doctor in Denver, their home base. Other than that, it is just another typical work day...
