5:52 am - Sunday - July 12th - LPG&RVR - 58° F, humidity 29%, cloud cover 83%, wind 13 mph out of the south.....cloudy today with a forecast high of 85° F. On this date in 2020 TLE and I were in Spearfish, SD in the parking lot of....
.....Campingworld taking delivery of our new Splendide (pronounced Splendeed) washer/dryer combo. Our old one had given up the ghost a while back. The store manager agreed to use their forklift to remove our old one, and insert the new through our door. From beginning to end it took an hour and forty-five minutes to remove the old one, and install the new one. It is still working great 6 years later.
We are so glad we had Saturday to sort of recover from our 4 day trip to SoCal. By the time we hit the sack Friday night it was midnight, and we didn't stir from our sleep until after 8 am Saturday morning. Prior to leaving on our trip I had scheduled a haircut at Kaleidescope at 1:30 pm so we had the whole morning to relax further.
We were on the road into Alturas by 11:50 am, and making a quick stop at ACE Hardware at 12:20 pm before continuing on to Holiday Market to do our weekly grocery shopping before my appointment. It didn't take as long as we thought to do our shopping, and as we put our groceries into the hatch of the Beetle realized we still had 50 minutes before my haircut, so we headed over to 'Wild Mustard' where I bought a Mocha Frappuccino to pass the time.
We arrived at Kaleidescope just before 1:30 pm, and were back on the road by 1:50 pm back to LPG&RVR. At 2 pm the FIFA World Cup match between England and Norway began, but we were recording it, so we didn't miss a second of the match. We expected a good match, and that is what we got. At the end of regulation the match was tied 1-1, so they headed to two 15 minute overtime periods to be played in full regardless of score. England managed to score their second goal in the 1st overtime period, and held on to win by that score over Norway, so for the first time in years England had made it to the final four teams, and will play Argentina in one of the semi final matches attempting to get to the final next Sunday. Argentina, obviously, won their quarterfinal match over Switzerland, again, 2-1 in the double overtime periods. So, it will be Spain and France in one semi final (Tuesday), and England vs. Argentina on Wednesday to see who plays in the final....
....thanks for stopping by!
