    I rented an airstream last month and towed to to southern Utah. Solid unit. No complaints. I could probably live in an airstream if I lived alone.

    Cool story.

    NOC.

    It’s never too late for Travels with Damone thread.
    Travels with Damone: I went to a bar. The end.
    If you stay by the school again in White Wakanda @MikeDamone i’ll buy you and old fashioned with extra sugar and talk shit to your face.
    Where? Bend?

    I don't take sugar in my OF. Pass
    Bend. Cabin 22 or Westside tavern. Seem to be the spots where the local drunks go.

    Westside breakfast with bloodies is a great start to a crisp fall day.
    I haven’t really gone slumming yet in my 2 years in White Wakanda. Mostly just the various breweries. Need to give it a try still.

    You won't get into the shitty shit of the Great Plains and Eastern Montana until you get to Billings. Then it is fuckery up through Miles City and into North Dakota.

    If you're dropping down into Wyoming on I-90, it stays pretty nice until you get near Gillette. Then improves beautifully in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

    Deer Lodge museum day today. Hanging around doing nothing, staying in Garrison Jct and that is all it is. Been to Hell-ena and back - actually quite nice up there. Getting into rolling hill of Montana and it appears the beginning of the Great Plains.

    In one of the museums they were playing piano music. I recognized 5/8 songs so asked about the music. This is the most excited the hostess lady got all day I think. She brought a collection of old west piano players recorded on CD. They were pretty good actually so I present one of the CDs here for your listening enjoyment.

    Have you ever been to the Bucket of Blood saloon in Virginia City, Nevada?

    I disagree. I thought east of Billings and into ND had some of the absolute best landscape scenes I saw on my trips through there in 2017.

    I’ve stayed in Billings twice.

    1st time (2015) was because I didn’t know it’s kind of a shitty town. Booked a downtown hotel, saw the meth addicts all over and promptly walked into the lobby to cancel my reservation. Went towards a Home Depot area and stayed in a hotel there.

    2nd time (2017) was because a check engine light came on in our brand VW Atlas 90 minutes past Bozeman. Had to choose between backtracking to Bozeman or going to Billings. Ended up staying about 36 hours for the issue to get solved - a good chunk of that time was for the car to shut down and the engine to cool off so the techs could get into it. Found a small hotel and actually some decent parts of Billings that weren’t full of @Swaye’s meth addicted Rez Life relatives.
    The fuck ?

    I never knew you were such a prairie Dawg @CFetters_Nacho_Lover

    Mabel do you have any laundromat stories?

    None what-so-ever, MrsIamnotinLebam had requirements when we liquidated everything and became nomads.
    1. Satellite TV
    2. Internet
    3. Washer and Dryer
    Edit: not a laundromat story, but the one-way valve on the washing machine drain failed and flooded the bedroom. They used a flat rubber washer on a compression fitting and over tightened. Replaced flat with a beveled rubber washer and hand-tightened only until leak stopped.

    Have you ever been to the Bucket of Blood saloon in Virginia City, Nevada?

    Hell yes - 3 times, had a hat (lost it somewhere), the Mrs plays a slot machine and wins an old silver dollar and still has it, plus I have a Bucket of Blood bottle of beer in storage. Unless I drank it...

    My plan is after Labor Day in the metropolis of Reed Point going to Sheridan then on to Sturgis
