My brother Alan came to visit for a spell yesterday. That was nice, on his birthday even! We sat in the sunroom and gabbed about this and that for a while. It was a perfect day for it. Just warm enough to open the doors a bit to let the cool air blow through.
After Alan left I took a short nap to prepare for the phone calls I needed to make. I called a ton of hotels and motels in Grand Junction and Flagstaff to find places that had a shuttle service to both the airport and the railroad station in each town. All the rental car joints are at the airports so we have to get from the train station to the hotel one day and the hotel to the rental agency the next in Grand Junction and vice versa in Flagstaff. Everybody I eventually talked to was very nice but I sure got tired of pressing one for English, etc. I reserved the rental car online through AARP (no cracks about that please). We wont have to haggle prices and cars until we get there. I always reserve the intermediate class of the cheapest and most popular car because they often dont have those by the time we get there and then stick to my guns about upgrades until they admit my car isnt there and they have to give me a free upgrade. I also put in for a GPS with the car but I doubt well get that unless its in the dash and they cant remove it.
Finally got to do some mowing yesterday and it was deep in a few places. The old mower managed to get through it though and I only have a bit more to do today. I left the hills behind the house because I already had a bad case of mower back.

An old couple go to a doctor and ask him to watch them have sex and tell if he sees them doing anything wrong. So they have sex.
While they are getting dressed the doctor said, Well I dont see anything wrong!
A week later they come again and ask the doctor to watch to see if they are doing anything wrong.
They have sex and the doctor says, Well again I dont see anything wrong.
This goes on for weeks. Then the doctor asks why they keep coming.
The guy said: If we go to her house her husband will catch us. If we go to my house my wife will catch us. A hotel costs fifty bucks. Here its thirty-five dollars and medicare pays half!
