Sometimes You Have To Stop and Enjoy Life!

That's the gang while we waited to get in to see the play.  Of
course my son Jake had to make a face when I took the photo . . . .

        OK.  So I wasn't real happy with the way I had mounted my new starter switch in Baby Fat, so this weekend, I changed it a little.  I added a neoprene washer, which hides the hole and makes the switch appear more "finished".  I also scoped out my plans to replace the windshield washer tank and pump.  Now that the wipers are new (and improved) it makes sense to get the washer system to work.  I really didn't get too much completed because my Son and his fiancée are home from college and visiting with us.

        We had a blast this weekend with the "kids" but I wasn't able to spend any real time on the truck.  That's not a bad thing.  Sometimes we have to stop and put some things on hold in order to enjoy life.  We all went to see "How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying" at the Spring Mountain Ranch.  (The ranch is an outdoor theatre, set in a meadow.)  This theatre is a beautiful location to see a play.  Once the sun goes down the temperature is perfect and the setting couldn't be better.  It's monsoon season in Las Vegas though, and for only the third time in its 38 year history, they stopped the show (due to rain) only 10 minutes in.  The downpour started and everyone scrambled to pickup their blankets and chairs and race to the parking lot.  While I was a little disappointed that we didn't get to see the show, it was almost worth the price of admission to see and be out in, that kind of rain in our desert town.

        The following day we went to Wet-N-Wild (a water theme park).  We pretty much spent the entire day there, and we had an absolute blast.  
        Melissa is studying to become a veterinarian and at one point we were able to go visit the horse barn where my niece's board their horse.  Melissa has ridden all of her life and as a vet she plans to specialize in horse health care.  
        It was a good week, having my boys together along with my future Daughter in-law, and I know that next week we'll get back to working on the truck.
