Delivered some more of these insulated panels to Spaceport America near Truth or Consequences, NM.
This is the building being constructed for Richard Branson's commercial space flight program. Kinda cool that we have a small part in what is surely an historic project. The site is heck and gone from just about anywhere - thirty miles outside the town of Truth or Consequences, which in itself could classify as the middle of nowhere. There IS Elephant Butte Lake Park, which looks like a nice place to be, even in December. They have houseboats to cruise around the lake on, and nice picnic areas with little shelters to keep the sun out.

Yes, we finally found the sun on this trip.
Today was my birthday - we ended up at Route 66 Casino and Hotel. Took showers at the truck stop, got a little dressed up, then ate at the buffett, which was pretty darn good. Then we gambled just a tad. We each got $20 and Collin burned through his pretty fast on the slots and video poker. I made $10 last for over a half hour. Then we found the place we should have started - the arcade. Spent another $10 there driving (and crashing) race cars, and motorcycles. Much more fun than gambling.
Nice birthday.
