Not a lot going on...trip to Carson City

Monday we stayed home and just got some things done around here.  About 1530 or so Ken made a fire out back by the bunkhouse so we spent most of the afternoon out there just enjoying.  We talked about the outhouse and contemplated buying a cement mixer.  Ken does like his concrete and I could see him pouring more in the future so it wouldn't be money wasted in the end.  When we lived in Colfax you could get a "buggy" of cement if  you needed a yard or so, but here there is no place to do that.

The sun is setting..

Enjoying the fire..

We ended up inside for the news for a bit (again, why?)..and then back out and the fire took right off.  A late dinner but oh well..

Enjoying the sunset...

Tuesday morning we were up about 0600 and after checking in with blogging friends and breakfast we got ourselves out the door.  My Mac had been acting up the last week or so and I had made an appointment at 1120 for the Geek Squad to take a look at it.  Best Buy is in Carson City so we're talking about 70 miles from here.  We headed to Walmart in Gardnerville to pick up a few things and then Raleys for a prescription. 

We got to Best Buy just a little after 1100 and pretty much on time Nathan called us up.  It was an easy fix, if you know what you're doing. Next time the screen decides to shrink or grow, I think we've got it.  hahaha

We still had some time before lunch so Ken headed into Sportsman's Warehouse and I went to Joann's fabric store.  I recently decided that I wanted to make a Christmas quilt for the bunkhouse so I was looking for some fabric.  Well, I found it!  Walmart only had about 3 different Christmas prints but Joann's had tons!  It was so hard choosing, but I did. Now to see how it turns out.  

These will be used for the quilt

A couple of throw pillows to be made out of these

There's a rental place in Gardnerville so we stopped by there to see how much it would cost to rent a cement mixer.  Pleasantly surprised at $29.00 a day, so for now that's the way we'll pour the outhouse concrete.  

After that, we headed to Carson Valley Inn our favorite place!  Had an awesome lunch as always and then headed home.  The day was done once again.  Because of our huge lunch, no dinner needed.  

We headed for bed about 2200 but I didn't get to sleep until after midnight and then wide awake at 0400 uhhh..hate it when that happens.  Today we'll be home, and tomorrow we're heading to Lowe's in Fernley to get stuff for the forms and I think we're buying the cement also.  We're not expecting any weather until late next week so there should be time to get the stuff poured. YAY!  

They're harvesting onions in Yerington..

Bags and bags...
