Amarillo in the Wind

We made it to Amarillo yesterday before the wind started in earnest. Had all kinds of things planned for the whole weekend, and today we crashed. Not literally, but I think coming east, the time change is kickin' our butts.
Today I was pushing to go out and do things, and finally made it to the post office down the street and to Wal Mart, then supper at the Big Texan Steakhouse again. I really just didn't feel like doing anything and every time I looked at the other half, he was laying on the bed! Tomorrow I have a few stops. Our front step has stopped working and after stopping at the Rt. 66 Casino for the night, it wouldn't go in! DH read up on its workings this afternoon and other than the motor giving up, which he doesn't think is the problem, probably reason being a loose wire from all the vibration of the rough roads. When the energy returns and the wind dies down, I'm sure he'll find the problem.
At our stop outside of Albuquerque at the Route 66 Casino, we were able to contact a young man that used to live in our old hometown. He now sells real estate there and is doing pretty good! I graduated from high school with his mother. He came out to the Casino and we had a nice visit, and when he left we went in and had dinner at the buffet. That's the first boondocking stop for this trip, and probably the last for a while.
The wind is supposed to gust up to 50 tomorrow, we are headed to the Palo Duro Canyon and the RV Dealer down on the south Interstate to look around. If all these little things keep going wrong, I will start looking at other coaches in real earnest. I hope this wind takes a rest by Monday when we head to Liberal Kansas for more shocks to be installed. That's only a three hour trip so should be a cake walk. Happy Weekend Everybody!
