EL NINO

SEE THE PRETTY NEW SCOOTER OUT IN THE SUNSHINE? MY BROTHERS HAVE THEIR MOTORCYCLES PARKED WAY BACK IN THE GARAGE, SO I COULDN’T RESIST POSTING THIS PICTURE.

IN REALITY, I’VE HAD THE NEW SCOOT FOR FIVE WEEKS AND ONLY HAVE 400 MILES ON IT. EL NINO HAS RAISED HELL WITH OUR WEATHER AS ONE STORM AFTER ANOTHER ROLLS IN OFF THE PACIFIC OCEAN THROUGH CALIFORNIA AND ON INTO ARIZONA. FLAGSTAFF HAD OVER 30 INCHES OF SNOW THE FIRST PART OF THE WEEK. HERE ON THE DESERT IT’S BEEN WET AND COLD.

I’VE HAD TO COVER MY SUMMER PLANTS SEVERAL NIGHTS, AND THE WIND HAS BLOWN SO HARD THE SCOOTER HAS A COUPLE OF SPOTS WHERE THE PAINT HAS WORN OFF DUE TO THE FLAPPING COVER. I BETTER GET A MOVE ON AND BUY A CARGO TRAILER TO PARK IT IN.

IT WAS NICE ENOUGH YESTERDAY AFTERNOON TO RIDE DOWN TO NEEDLES, CA. TO BUY A COUPLE OF POWERBALL TICKETS, AND THEN HEAD THE OTHER WAY IN THE VALLEY TO GET A HAIRCUT.

NEXT WEEK WE HAVE FRIENDS, MARK & JAYNE, COMING IN FROM DES MOINES ON THEIR FIRST TRIP TO NEVADA, SO I’LL GET MY TOUR GUIDE HAT OUT AND SHOULD HAVE PICTURES FROM FREMONT STREET TO SHARE WITH YOU.

AT LEAST THE DAYS ARE GETTING LONGER……
