Moving Day, Friday


Good morning! This is a moving day and a busy day. I've decided against Pahrump and I'm headed to Beatty instead. It's about an hour further but unlike Pahrump which except for the Escapees park seems seems very developed and anti bondocking, Beatty has a nice free area close in. I had problems with the compass on the Satellite dish, it is more than 20 degrees wrong now and it couldn't find the satellite yesterday when I got back from Callville Marina (getting water). It took me two hours to figure out the problem; widening the search window allowed it to find it. Today I need a flat spot where I can turn the truck and trailer around 180 degrees. That allows me to "train" the compass and solve the error.
So this morning I'm gassing up, shopping for some new jeans, picking up my phone from the Chinese restaurant at 11am, then saying farewell to this absurd city that produces nothing of use to the society and is at the end of very long supply lines for foods and goods. Over Lake Mead each twilight I can see the jets stacked up, always two or three waiting to land, supplying the fuel to run the city - you. In any peak oil scenario, airlines are hit very early on because their running costs require cheap jet fuel - oil.
Off to Beatty, NV, were today it will be a full 10 degrees cooler than Henderson, NV according to MSN weather.
