Monday, May 21, 2012 - Shopping Day

Forecast called for a 50% chance of rain, plus we needed some supplies, so I decided to head into the nearest big town called Princeton, and did a bunch of errands. We had purchased a pair of walkie-talkies from a truck stop last week which claimed to have a range of 22 miles, so we decided Hubby would stay home with the animals while I took the walkie to test it out. If it really had that kind of range, we should be able to talk all the way to the town and back. Well, not surprisingly, they didn’t quite meet up to our expectations. In fact, they started to peter out after about a half a mile! I played around with them when I got back to see if it was some setting that was wrong, and we’ll have to try it again another day, though I didn’t find anything really wrong. Anyway, though it got a little cloudy, it never actually rained, but at least I got the errands done, and it’s supposed to be cooler for the next couple of days. More rides are planned!
