Starting a new blog because it’s a new month – JUNE! Going to Yellowstone National Park this month – not taking DAISEE2 anywhere this month and it feels weird. I’m very nervous about this trip. Not sure but it may be because I haven’t flown anywhere in such a long time, that I’m concerned about having the ticket etc for the trip. We’re staying the first night in Bozeman and then driving to YNP in the rental car. I can’t be sure of the weather so I don’t know if I’ll have the right clothes. YNP has gone all “cashless” so I suppose that is a good thing. Do I tip? Don’t I tip? Who do I tip? ETC! I’ll keep this going for a while. I need to check my “little white” laptop to see if I can blog from it. I’ll do it tomorrow when I “exercise” my generator in DAISEE2 for June. Here is our reservation at the Lake Lodge Cabins:
I believe that Bill and Cathy will get us a friendly, family discount. Time will tell. It doesn’t really matter to me because I got a good tax return which is paying for this trip. But it would be nice for Shannon to get the discount too.
I am now in DAISEE2 “exercising” my generator for JUNE. I’m working on my little white computer to see how it goes. It’s difficult to get started and needs to be plugged in to work. I’ll need to remember that because the battery runs down while just “sitting” in the bag. Not sure how to change that. I didn’t think it would lose battery power if it was just sitting in the bag. I’m going to try to research that through ChatGPT. It might tell me how to do it. Let me check! I found some things to check and I’ve done them. I am not just charging the battery while it is off and I’ll check it out in a day or so.
Today is Wednesday, June 3, 2026. I wrote an addendum to my Last Will and Testament leaving everything to Jack. I hand wrote it yesterday on the 2nd of June 2026. I’m debating about letting Jack know about it while I’m in Yellowstone. I’m thinking that if anything happens to me, he’ll find it in the drawer of the bookcase. I’ll see what I do in a couple of days. But also – today this came:
More on the flight:
Look how lucky I was with this WORDLE!!!!!
I’ve come to the conclusion that I don’t like flying places. I’ve been nervous about this trip to YNP FOREVER! I don’t like waiting for emails to confirm the flight. I had to call about my hotel rooms – got the email confirmation on that finally. But I still don’t know what is happening with my plane ticket and seat selection. I don’t know anything about Sky Harbor Airport so I don’t know how much time it will take to get to the gate etc., etc. I just prefer having DAISEE2 to ride around in and I know I have everything I need. This will probably be the last time I’ll ever fly anywhere for a trip. Only 3 more days and I’m gone. It’s a real drain! I did get a confirmation email from the Holiday Inn Express this morning – Saturday, June 6, 2026. That was good!
It is now June 8, 2026. I’m waiting for my confirmation for my airline ticket. ChatGPT says it won’t come until 9:30 – 24 hours before my flight. I HATE THIS! Really is the last time I want to fly anywhere. At least I have an earlier email from Delta with the number on it so I can show that at the airport if necessary. I think I’ll go on YouTube and get a video of the Delta wing of Sky Harbor Airport. I finally got my boarding passes and also Shannon’s. I guess I’m set now. I’ll just need to go through it again for the return flight home on Monday. I won’t have a printer, but the hotel should be able to print it out for us. Time will tell. So I guess that’s all I will say about this for now. On to the next blog beginning tomorro
