I have no idea what “hotel” spawned the idea for the lyrics of the Eagle’s Hotel California but this fits the bill. It has a courtyard, is well out in the desert and spooky even at mid-day. Plus the entire town of Nipton is for sale if you are interested in becoming the mayor for life - this is your chance.

The part arrived at 3:52 CDT on Monday. FedEx delivered the overnight package to Hohenwald in a mere six days with the overnight service. Ridiculous. One week for an overnight package from 400 miles away. .Next stop install and does it work?

I got word just after six that it is installed and working with one exception that is the low speed fan on the AC. The AC is only working on high speed fan. We can resolve that issue locally. Both the furnace and the AC work and the furnace is the more critical for this trip as temperatures appear to be in the high 30s several nights. We are planning to leave for Hohenwald at six am.
