Rolled around on the ground yesterday, underneath the rig, taking pictures of the black water tank to send to a fellow Toyota RV owner. He needs to replace his and our models are the same. Very difficult to measure something with no square edges, especially while lying on one's back with about 4" of maneuvering space. But got it done. Slithered out and then picked off goatheads (local name; think sandspurs) from my back and side and feet.

Winterizing the water hose with foam wrap doesn't seem to have helped. Past two mornings haven't had water till the sun warms it up. Hmmm. Fortunately, I always have water in my Brita pitcher and in two 1-gal jugs.

Was surprised that Joanna what's-her-face (the "model") was eliminated on Dancing With the Stars. I thought she'd come a long way and showed real promise as a dancer. And Donny Osmond, though a stellar performer, had been messing up recently. But he is a real crowd pleaser, though he has trouble portraying any emotion other than upbeat showman, so a tango's fierceness is beyond him, and a salsa's sexiness looks pouty instead.

Didn't actually watch the results show last night as it's on opposite So You Think You Can Dance, a real dancers show. The krumper Russell has been wowing everybody with his ability to learn other styles. And the b-boy Legacy has recently been growing mightily, too -- did a killer Paso Doble last night (barechested. Yum). The ballroom guy and the girl (forgot her style) he's partnered with did a really fine contemporary dance routine -- she was excellent and he was a rock solid partner.

Wish I could have continued with my ballroom dancing career, though it was doing my knees no favors. Ah well.
