Mojave Road and Death Valley, March 2011

[Scott B.]

..Will work for cheap..

.. Just need gas both ways, food, and some wheeling days..

Plumbing problem resolved. Some simple stuff - drywall cracks, etc. Some tile work - shower floor. Some painting.

What time will be you here?

...Shortly after your gas card arrives..:biggthump

..All those are simple fixes but the shower pan tile problem can be a pandora's box..

..Just don't open that problem till after parts 2 and 3 are posted..I'm starting to forget all of the trip stories..:

Not fixing the shower pan - yet. I do plan to demo the entire bathroom and redo it - but not for a while yet.

And, I just got a new phone. They call it a "smartphone", but the user interface is rather un-intuitive. (Yes, I call it something different...)

New scorpion species discovered in Death Valley

Wernerius inyoensis is probably closely related to two other rare scorpions in the desert Southwest: Wernerius spicatus, which is native to Joshua Tree National Park, and Wernerius mumai, which lives along the Colorado River near Parker, Ariz.
