The next day after a day gone bad

I called the Valley Auto Mall in Pahrump and made an appointment to take the Steed in. They would be open at 8 a.m. on Friday. Riot and I made a trip to the store and he got into screamer mode on the trip. I laughed. We went to Super WalMart and he got a new Hulk toy. As we were in check out, he entertained two girls behind us that appeared to be about 7 and 10.

Sandpoint Idaho

Round Lake State park, the trip North, the family reunion, whatever name it should be tagged under, it was definitely an event. This year, for some reason that I can’t put my finger on, it was different. It was fun and everyone had a good time and we played poker for three days, but yet it was just different…the feel of the whole thing seemed more like it was geared to neutral than in years past.
