Had a busy weekend which started Saturday with water all over the kitchen floor after the dishwasher ran. Water was leaking through the case of the garbage disposal which I replaced. Easy enough replacing it but dealing with Home Depot and Insinkerator was the tough part. I had replaced the unit when we moved in just over two years ago and on the unit it showed a 2-year warranty, Home Depot says 5 years and Insinkerator say 3 years. But I couldn't find the receipt (which is probably somewhere in the house) which made the warranty a moot point anyway. The investigation was just a retired man's distraction anyway. The warranty would be an 'in-home' warranty which means I would have to put the unit back in and live without a sink until they could send someone out to verify I wasn't stupid. And then, who knows what it would cover. Sunday was better as we decided to take a road trip. We drove south toward Tucson to the Cas Grande National Monument. I thought it was just a pile of mud in the middle of the desert but it turned out to be quite interesting. It was a three-story building worn away by the ages and quite a few other 'structures on the site of a 700-year-old Indian farming community. There was a movie as well as a lot of items in the museum. The visit didn't take long so we decided to continue south the Picacho Peak State Park. We had passed it many times on I-10 north of Tucson and wondered what it was all about. It is a prominent point used as a landmark by travelers for centuries. It is also the site of the Westernmost conflict of the Civil War, 'The Battle of Picacho Pass'. We drove through and stopped to hike up the mountain to a saddle for the view south through a saddle. It was a very steep up-and-down rocky trail and as we reached some height the wind became very strong and we became more interested in keeping our hats on than watching our step. Not a good idea on a steep, winding, rocky trail up the side of a mountain so we turned around to 'fight' another day. We also visited the memorial site of the battle. Again, since we were that far south we decided to visit to town of Maricopa which is the closest Amtrak stop near our home and we had been thinking of using it as a starting point for a train trip. On the internet it looked like a small, isolated spot in a small desert town but it turned out to be a rather modern but small location in a very large town. It was a very good day overall by doing things we have meant to do.
