"Life changes like the weather, but a legend never dies"

Ok blog fans! I start this post out with a challenge, can any of you name the song title and the artist of the quote from the title of this post? I realize that the easy way is to just google it, but hopefully someone might know it on their own.

Anyhow, lets do a bit of an update first off. First off, the truck. It is once again running fine, which is good. Stella comes this Friday and I have a functional vehicle to show her around here. I did have to ride my bike into the base to pick it up. But that was kinda fun and a bit of a work out, so it had some pluses.

Next, the desktop. Well as it is rather old, it turns out that the battery on the motherboard finally died. But being a simple watch battery, it really wasn't that hard to locate a new one and now the desktop is back in action. Of course I have to update some stuff on it and then move things from one computer to another and all, but at least it is no longer dead.

It does bring up problem three. There seems to be a virus on my computer. Both norton and windows defender have claimed to have caught it, and quarantined it and removed it. But I still get windows popping up and such. So that is a bother. I will continue to work on it.

And as for the satellite, well, I'm still waiting for their guy to come out on Tuesday and poke things with sticks and do a little voodoo dance to return my dish to a happy functioning receiving state. But I will keep you all updated. I am gonna be getting a no service credit for the time I have no tv, so I'm not paying for tv right now. I continue to watch movies.

As for this weekend, well, it hasn't been too bad. Friday I had to work the desk. Plus I had to ride my bike into base and get the truck, but I had mentioned that already. Then after work several of the people from the office came over and we ordered up some pizza and watched some episodes of SeaQuest, because the captain had pasted away. I forget his name right now, but he was also in Jaws. He said "We're gonnna need a bigger boat."

Saturday was our grand adventure in Las Cruces. We got a few people together to run some errands and then attempt to see the rock crawling stuff. Well, we ended up hitting up several stores and then tried to find the place. But we had directions to where it was headquartered, not the tracks, so we got some iffy directions and then headed off. The road turned to dirt and then it got sandy. The car we were in got stuck, so we had to push it out to more solid ground. We gave up on trying to find it, so we went to get lunch. Then back across the desert to home. Luckily we all managed to get through boarder control.

Saturday night we were back here for another movie and some drinks. We had chocolate-tinis and such, since we are classy like that. And of course after that it was time for sleep.

Today was dull, just some cleaning and a few little errands around town. Plus a nap. However I do have pictures for your viewing pleasure.

This is the desert. Note the way there are plants, but not those really big cacti.

When you get stuck on a dirt road in the middle of the desert, what else is there to do but take a group photo?

Oh, perhaps we should push the car out, this one is just a stagged photo, note the solid ground and lack of driver. But we were a bit to busy to take the real picture while we actually had to push it out

OH NO!!!! The radiation from the nuclear tests around here has created a GIANT MUTANT ROADRUNNER!!!!! Run for the hills!! No one is safe.... oh wait, its artwork, never mind.
