New phone, wireless card, and electric heater

We slept comfortably through the cold night (coldest night we've had I think). We decided that another electric heater was needed.

I tried deploying the satellite but it just aimed for the trees. Oh well, we tried. With that, we decided a trip to Rapid City was in order. We found a Verizon office and got an air card and pay as you go cell phone. I had Verizon set up the air card in the computer. Good thing I did as even he had problems because Verizon had changed their initialization procedures. We got a bite to eat and then went to Lowes as John needed some blocks to put our king pin stabilizer on. We also got a rug to put in front of our chairs to help with the dirt. Unfortunately, Lowe's did not have any electric heaters (heating season is over . . . really?).

On our way home, we stopped at the hardware store here in Custer and luckily they still had electric heaters. We got the heater home and within a short period of time, we had a nice toasty 72 degrees in the trailer. Sweet!

Terry, another maintenance Workkamper, has been here for over a week (through the last snow storm) and was working today. John's first work day will be tomorrow and after not having worked for 17 months, he anticipates he will be tired.
