Raining again Houston.

Or perhaps I should say still!  We have  had rain of and on for over a week now.  I think I am growing both moss and webbed toes.

Spook (our RV)..

is back in storage again.  We put her in and then wandered down to Rocklin to Camping World where we purchased some rugs, a door mat and a compass to make a trips more comfortable and more interesting.

Our next planned trip is to Colorado in July and perhaps up into Canada for a few weeks.  Of course, things can happen and we might have to wander down to Fullerton once again before July.

I have not seen Glacier National park and JoAnne has never seen Yellowstone.  May wander to those places during this coming summer.

Dry morning here in Sacramento,

but we have snow  in Reno.  Highway between the two has been closed off and on for the past couple of days.  Right now, it  is open, but requires either chains or snow tires even on vehicles with four wheel drive..

It is dry in Sacramento right now (First dry morning in several days), but rain is predicted later.  The winds have died down so guess it will be ok to take the guys for their morning walk. (Have missed it for the past two days.)

We have some small stream flooding in the county, but no major damage except that gained from fallen trees.

Sure hope we get enough to fill the lakes that supply our water.

Mo Rain

We have had inter-rmiten rain for the past two days.  The weather folks tell us that we should have more and that it should continue through Saturday of this week.

Right now, there is a pretty strong wind rattling stuff around.  It blew over garbage cans yesterday and spread paper up and down the street.

Can't complain much.  We have needed rair for several years now.

Rain again Houston!

Oh my!  It is JoAnne's BD and it  has rained most of the day.  She is inside right tow at the theater in down town Sacramento.  As soon as she gets home, we head down to Elk Grove to Peter's house for dinner.

The very best part about being at Peter's place is the opportunity to play with Kirby.  At eight weeks old, he is becoming more of a blast each day.  Yea Kirby!

Back after another trip.

Headed south this time and spent one night in Bakersfield, three nights in Palm Desert, two nights in Escondido, three nights and one night in El Capitan. (A few miles north of Santa Barbara.)

We really enjoyed the Palm Springs Tram up to Mt. San Jacinto and liked the time spent at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley.

Tired right now and may hit the sack early.

New Year 2010

We are  here in Sacramento and are expecting rain.  Hope we get packed and on the road tomorrow for our RV trip down to Palm Desert.  Spook is fueled and tuned-up and appears to be champing at the bit.

I wish I were in that shape.  I have a sore shoulder from a slip on the ice up on Reno last Monday. (Pulled muscle)  DMSO is doing its work in relieving the pain.

Oh well, Southern California sunshine, here we come.  Might also visit our Northern California water while I am there.
