Rain.............. then the sun shining through

Went to Greybull yesterday then back to Cody for more scripts.  The rain was standing everywhere at the fairgrounds.  Met with a gal I haven't seen in several years.  Good catching up with her.  In Greybull they have  a Museum of Flight and Aerial Firefighting. http://www.tctwest.net/~flight/ Then back to      Cody to get checks signed.  It is amazing to see how neat and clean even the abandoned houses are around here.  And on the way to Cody I found 

Emblem.  Here it is.  All of it! 

Leaving WW I was trying to figure out how to get to Canyon Street and pushed a little too hard on the footfeed...............yup  next thing I know I'm searching for registration, insurance and drivers license...........hmmm have I mentioned I've recently had all of these in the bus making copies preparing to become SD citizens?   Hmmmmm, muttering and puttering giving the nice policeman pictures, the wrong insurance card and am about ready to pitch an old registration when he thoughtfully said, "That one will do, ma'am! I'll be right back!"  God Bless this man!  I sat there trying to remember when I was stopped last and came up with two years ago in somewhat similar circumstances.  "Yes, ma'am!  You've been good for SEVEN years.  I'm going to just give you a verbal warning!  You be good for another 7.  And Canyon is at the first light you will come to."  Man!  Huh! Seven years, huh?  I must have a bad memory.  :) :) :)   Anywhoo on the way back the sun began coming out, clearing the clouds away.

New gadgets and more rain - Am I a duck??? quack quack

It is STILL raining.  I feel like a duck!  Slosh, slosh, slosh.  Spent the day in Cody working.  Then went to Wally World for scrips.  Then walked by the camera bar (right, just mosying riiggghhht!) and poof! a new camera jumped into my little hands.  Bigger, 20X optical zoom, lots of bells and whistles which I probably won't be able to figure out until AFTER we leave YNP!  My crystal ball says I should set up the video camera to tape us as we head into the park complete with sound.  I'm sure we could make money off it on YouTube.  Me driving, him trying to take pictures, me not being able to think fast enough to tell him which button to turn/flip/push, his muttering getting louder and louder as he tells me to slow down til he gets it, me not being able to stop our 55' length just ANYWHERE (me muttering louder now)................................................ Think I'll just go to bed and try to figure out a way NOT to go through the park.  Don't laugh.  It takes two of us to equal 1/2 of a brain.

Rain - Bah, Humbug!

Rain, rain, why are you here?  Cold and drizzly but I'm still getting out there visiting with folks. Ken?  Ken?  Why Ken hasn't set foot out the "the Bus" since the temperature plummeted.  He's sitting like a monkey on a football hunched over the heater.  Me?  I'm wearing shorts as this place is HOT!  I'll spend tonight trying to get all the info I've collected into the computer.  Takes a lot of time.  Oh Well. 

Of course the new bedroom TV may be a reason he is so happy.  We have joined the digital generation.  No, not HD, just digital.  We have DirecTV.  A  lot of difference between the old snowy b/w days to the clarity of today.  

And of course (again) we didn't get any reservation in YNP until today and there isn't room for us for 4 nights - only 2.  Oh well, the downside of have a vehicle over 30'.  We'll stay here in Powell until Friday morning then head to the park.  We're staying at the Fishing Bridge.  Heading on to Moran on Sunday night.  I'll head to Casper on Monday and Ken can go on to Alpine where we'll stay 10 days or so.
