We're in Truckee!

  We're here. This morning I went to fire up my "confuser" (computer) and it didn't act right. It locked up and refused to budge. So, I had to force it to off. I tried to reboot it, but nothing. Just a black screen with a blinking cursor in the upper left hand corner. Nothing more. So I forced it to off again. Then, it turned itself back on. I forced it off, and it came back on again! So, I pulled the battery and figured it needed a repairman to tickle its innards.
   Just for grins, about a half hour ago I replaced the battery and started it up. It booted up fine and is working as if nothing happened. I hate confusers........

  We were told that Truckee was about a hal mile walk to the Old downtown portion...So, like fools we decided to walk. I think it was between 3 and 4 miles to town and back. (By the way it's uphill all the way to Truckee and back to camp). Patsy did fine, and I did too, but I did had some grumpy knees when we got back.

  Apparently we got there too early, as most of Truckee was closed. So we walked around and looked at things through the windows. It's a pretty town. There is a major railroad right of way right past Truckee, so we were able to watch a few loooooooong trains cruise through. One Amtrack Passenger train stopped and dropped off a couple of people. Sorry, no pix..

   I have to admit, the part of Truckee we saw is a bit of a tourist trap. Lots of Artsy Fartsy stuff and Wine Tasting stuff, etc..... Not exactly our Cup of Tea. But, the day was beautiful and we were having fun. Someone restored an old "Flying A" gas station and they sell clothing out of it, but it was nice to see an old building not given the Bulldozer Treatment. Here's a few Pics of it:

   

  We fooled around until a little before lunch and then ate at "Burger Me". It was featured on "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" last July. Patsy had the Bison Burger and I had the Turkey Burger. You can pick and choose whatever you want on the Burger, including a Fried Egg! There was also Chili and a wide assortment of "stuff" for your Burger. I had Onion Rings and Patsy had Sweet Potato Fries. It really was pretty good. There's another place here that was featured on the same show. It's called "JAX". It's an old fashioned Diner with "Comfort food" on the Menu. If we were going to be here another day, we'd probably try it out.
  Here's a pic of "Burger Me" it's a converted warehouse and pretty spartan inside. But you'll have to come here to see the inside 'cuz I only took a pic of the outside.....

It doesn't look like much, but the folks that run it are pleasant and the food is good. What else matters?
So, until next time......That's all folks!
