3 days of rain, wet, cold, & snow mixed in. To wet to ride, even Rama rain checked today, which was just as well as I watched several snow squalls back up against Grayback while parked in MBH parking lot. I was warm & dry inside my van taking advantage of faster internet speed. I did my tax return. Seems I owe $4.00, I am taxed @ 3.4%.
Monday hung out @ B & B staying out of rain. Staying down canyon to watch Zags WCC title game @ PJs. Jimmie invited me & guys on work Chewie & Tony down for burgers & beer. Guys like hanging around w/ boss & like wise. I enjoyed their company. Jimmie is from Long Island. Chewie is international. Zags game came on & they all left me to watch in shock as the Zags were outplayed & coached and lost to ST Mary’s. Find out Sunday their Big Dance ticket.
Tues was mid morn shower @ Hilton spa. I drove out to Cottonwood via Beaverhead flats rd & thru Cornville. Intense thunderstorm dumped wet snow big drops of rain propelled by gusting winds. Head lights & regular speed wipers. Visited Dean’s new employment shop Zoomers but he was off. Finished day back @ deer pass. Later afternoon several snow showers moved thru. Nothing stuck. Ran heater again while inside.
Today the skies looked more favorable but forecast was still for rain & snow. Bought propane. Drove to MBH for shop ride. Called Rama, he decided to remain dry.
Decided to see Alice in Wonderland, Tim Burton’s new movie. Crazy Heart was also playing 15 min later. Too many surreal images for me. Special effects were great. Would rather of seen Crazy Heart. Senior citizen discount of 50 cents.
Back out @ desert. Still cold w/ scattered light showers. Roof repair is keeping me dry.
Today in the Safeway parking lot I was searching for a parking spot close to door. Turned up an aisle and watched a truck back out of a stall & drive away. I pulled in behind him before the dust settled. I noticed a rig in the traffic lane w/ turn light flashing. This person to follow turn light would have had to scribe a tight turn to get into the stall I was in. The drive hung in the lane. I got out and approached the rig. She electrically lowered the window and said did I see her waiting for that spot. I said no. Man, I don’t know if she was there ahead of me or not but I was embarrassed enough and offered to leave the stall. She said no. I don’t know if I took a spot she had been waiting for.
Hoping tomorrow no precip falls and that the sun shines and temps climb drying out trails. Sat is Sedona ride day for Arizona Spring Fling. Weather forecast is for Thurs & Fri being dry & warm which will make Sat ride just right. Washes will be running.
