A large box courtesy of FedEx came today from Cynthia. My license plates for Oor were there; thank all the little state police gods. My temporary plates had expired on 03/08, which appears to mean March of 2008 in states other than Texas, for which I'm grateful: no citations for expired tags. Mounted the plates and thanked my lucky stars.
Several magazines were in the box as well, another thing to be grateful about: I was running out of reading material. Also, a sizeable check from the title company again: a refund of 2008 property taxes. Nice!
Took the dogs with me to mail the aforementioned goodies to family; stopped at the one-and-only Petsmart in town to get some of Annie's flea meds; and visited the local satellite installation office to get one of their techs to come point my dish in the right direction. I can pick up only El Paso's network channels otherwise, and not too well, at that.
I'm gradually learning my way around town; it takes a heck of a lot less time to get from point A to point B than I estimate, every single time. I keep thinking this is a big town, and it's really not. I'm not using much gasoline, for sure.
Did a little research on RV parks in Albuquerque on the internet. There seem to be about six or eight there, or at least there are six or eight with websites. I checked out the KOA campground there and, WOW! Must be a grand place: they wanted more than $1000 for about a 17-day stay! I'm continuing my search.
PostScript: The guy who came to aim my satellite dish couldn't quite get it right. I'm tired of having to pay people to aim the damn dish, and I'm tired of toting and storing the damn tripod, so I've ordered a KVH hard-mounted satellite antenna that aims itself automatically. I ordered it from an RV shop in Albuquerque, so will go there when it arrives.
