Day 398: Las Vegas, Day 14

The repair of the broken RV cabinet door continues. Zaidy glued it all together and is holding it all together with clamps and bricks:

The kids worked together to disassemble our broken inverter before we throw it away:

Trish did most of the shopping for the bar mitzvah today, and M has been practicing his torah reading, so I think we’re in good shape for this coming Shabbos.

Day 397: Las Vegas, Day 13

Today I rode a 44 mile bike loop that took me to Lake Mead and back. Some was on road, but much of it was on a bike path that meandered through the desert. The headwinds were harsh down by the lake, where I noticed a red flag was being flown at the marina. On the other hand, I had a corresponding tailwind at the end of the ride which had me maintaining a 35mph average for the last half dozen miles.

Great views of Lake Mead were had for much if the ride:

Day 396: Las Vegas, Day 12

Yesterday a storm blew in and we actually had a bit of rain. It was the first day since we’ve been here that I could go outside towards sunset and not immediately start sweating, which was nice.

Zaidy and B worked on fixing a cabinet door from the RV that had been damaged when we opened the slides and the door got stuck between the slide and the wall:

Tonight we move to an RV park on the East side of town which is only $13.50 a night thanks to our new Passport America membership. We will be here for the rest of the week getting ready for M’s bar mitzvah this Shabbos.
