Rally events

With our 6:45 a.m. wake-up call (generator's starting up), we got up to start our day.

One of our propane tanks ran empty so one of our first stops was at a propane company to get the tank filled. While we were driving away from the propane company, it started to SNOW! What the heck is this? It was 43 degrees out so nothing stuck but it was pretty chilly. It snowed on and off most of the late morning and early afternoon. You can see snow on the Sandia Mountains where there was none yesterday.

We then drove over to the Expo fairgrounds to check out what the vendors were offering and to look at some new RV models. Anything and everything that you could want for an RV can be found here. There are more RV specific vendors here than there were at Quartzsite. I spoke with a MotoSat technician and he is going to come out to see why the satellite will sometimes just stow itself (when it is suppose to be searching for the satellite) with no error messages. The technician was really surprised that I wasn't getting any error messages. Thankfully I had John there to back me up. The good news is that there will be no charge for the visit. Yeah! Now that is customer service.

The evening entertainment tonight was Neil Sedaka. I must say that tonight's entertainment was so much better than last night's. Neil is quite the prolific songwriter and many of his songs were easily recognizable. Neil turned 70 this year. As so many artists lose their voice as they age, I'm happy to report he sounds exactly like he did in his prime. Neil said he sold 50 million records between 1959-1963 and then a group came on the scene...The Beatles. He said he then retired. In the past 45 years, he has written many songs that were performed by other artists. He said there is nothing more satisfying than performing your own music. He seemed to really enjoy himself. As I grew up with two older sisters, I was exposed to many of the late 1950' s and early 1960's music so I have many fond memories. Here's a link to some information about this very talented man Neil Sedaka. He has lead quite the life.

The high today was 44 degrees. It is now raining and some areas could still receive more snow. Thankfully it is not as cold as it was and sunshine is in the forecast for late tomorrow. Warm weather is on the way. Yippee!
