Sparks, Nevada 0 km

Todays was Raindancer’s day for the annual service, new tires, a look at the cooling system and so we found out this afternoon, some new brake pads. We could have picked it up this afternoon but decided that tomorrow would be better as there is “safe housing” at the shop tonight.
This morning we visited one of the local coin laundries – hopefully enough clean clothes to last for another week now.

Also this morning Doug was remembering the “Old Days” in Sparks and visiting Harrah’s famous automobile museum. Too bad it was dismantled and sold. . .(or was it, Norma suggested)?  With baited breath we learned that yes, many years ago it had been sold to a large company along with the rest of Harrah’s properties (casino, etc.). BUT, the citizens of Nevada raised such a stink that the Nevada government stepped in and “persuaded” the big company to donate the cars to a proposed new “National Automobile Museum” in Reno. And that is where we are going tomorrow morning!

This rest of the day was spent gambling a bit and eating a lot. Tonight is the Nugget’s seafood buffet. When we presented our "John" club cards we found dinner was on the casino so an added bonus! Need we (card carrying seafood aficionados) say more? But then 3 pictures are worth 3 thousand words. We plan to be in Lake Tahoe tomorrow evening.
