Badlands National Park, South Dakota
Today was a little bit of a disappointment, but life's like that sometimes. I was up early (like before dawn) to check out the meteor showers, but bedtime's starry skies had given way to clouds. In the (traditional) morning, we had some spotty showers, and I noticed one of the slide seals was twisted (could cause a rain leak), so that needed to be patched up. I then made the drive back to I-90 to check out the Minuteman Missile Site but there wasn't much there (I missed the Tuesday and Thursday "open house" presentations). Oh, well; can't hit a home run every time.
On the other hand, it was cooler today and we were able to turn the air conditioning off for the first time in who-knows-how-long. With overnight temperatures in the mid-50s for the next couple of days, it should be good sleeping weather.
Geri made her Famous Pork Medallions for dinner, paired with leftover Mushroom Fettuccini (forgot to mention that from earlier in the week) and steamed peas. The mushrooms called for a Pinot Noir, and I was able to find a "value" bottle in the wine storage drawer that went pretty well.
And, tomorrow will be a better day!
