Had the wheels looked at - OK. Belts were all changed out at Johnson Automotive And Electric - squeal stopped and have the right belts and spares and the right numbers - Some more work tomorrow on the power steering motor and the AC. I replaced the Hazard Flasher myself at OReilly's and ordered a Chilton Book for Chevy Van that age. Be here Thursday.  I'll stay at the RV Park till Friday. Some more research on South Dakota as possible

28apr19 - I have been wanting to write songs but so far everything is more in a poetic mode. Just starting to think of how to switch from mode to mode. The difference of meter and melody perhaps. This one transcribed towel to .rtf to here with these interesting forward dashes. Per Duchamp they remain.

8,sep,19 - Little Bighorn - Deep Ravine Trail - Retreat and Yellowstone River

Image
I counted 49 soldier markers along the escape trail (Route) from Last Stand Hill and the sign at the Ravine indicated 28 soldiers died there which ended the fighting. I guess the trail 600 yards, high grass and very hilly There were about 40 or so soldier markers on the hill itself. The battle was strung out in several locations over several square miles, an hour in duration. The Rangers give good discussions, all say there is much that remains a mystery and many inaccuracies to the stories. This Ranger ended with "The Indians won the battle but lost the war."

12-jun-19 Playing Guitar in a Redwoods Grove

12june19 Redcrest CA Ancient Redwoods RV Park Before Musemath and Fretmath and the internet in general much of my guitar practice was on park tables like this. This setting in a Giant Redwood Grove was particularly rewarding. _________________ Wasp Invasion - two wasps found a window screen in the bathroom ajar from the motion of the vehicle and stopped in for a visit. It went well enough, when they found the interior space too large for their purposes they headed for the side door screen, so I opened the door and out they went. All in a day's work for an RV'r. The window screen has been taped shut. Later on a giant earwig, probably from the Redwood Grove came crawling rudely over the stove and is no longer with us. Wasp and bug spray tomorrow I suppose. _________________
