Today was a relatively short 200 mile drive to Boulder City. We got up at 7 and were in Boulder City a little before noon. It was a nice trip except for the fuel stop. There were only two diesel pumps. The people using them blocked them after they were fueling. Then another idiot with a 5th wheel pulled around so that they couldn't leave. I got disgusted and drove on. It turned out all right. A few mile down the road was another station that sold diesel cheaper.
We did pretty good on mileage. We had a strong cross wind until Kingman and than a tail wind up to Boulder City. We got around 11 mpg for the whole trip. It helps that we came down about 3000 feet in elevation also.
We went to the grocery store when we got in. The prices are outrageous. Here's something stupid. New York steak was $1 a pound less than hamburger.
After the grocery store we went to the lake. The dog did 50 water retrieves. Then we set and had lunch. While we were eating we watched Lucy run all around the bushes sniffing. It looked like she had something cornered a couple of times.
The cable here has a couple of encore movie channels. So we watched movies all night.
