On the road again (almost)
Talked to the service people -- the replacement radiator will be in today and we should be on the road tomorrow sometime. Planning to spend Thursday night here and get an early start Friday.
I was hoping to get to Gillette, WY in time to take the
coal mine tour but they don't run on weekends. Then it's off to Cody Wyoming (
Buffalo Bill museum) and then down to
Jackson Hole, WY and we will nose our way north through the Tetons and Yellowstone.
We had another thunderstorm this afternoon -- the heat wave has broken and temps are in the low 80's -- feels great.
I took Lulu and the dogs to our favorite dog park and had lunch -- then we went to the
School of Mines and Technology to see an art exhibit, the
museum of Geology and we walked through the
Department of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering. This was where I went during the conference tour so I was able to show Lulu some of the stuff I had seen on my tour. The coolest
toy tool was a
Friction Stir Welder -- this uses mechanical action to weld metals together that are otherwise unweldable. Very cool technology!
Hanging out for an hour or two and then out for Mexican food.
Day fourteen!
