After the big warm-&-melt a week ago I figured we've got winter dicked, now.
It could, and probably will, snow again, but it won't last more than day if so.
Then I was reminded of Spring storms, especially the ones after the leaves have started because it tears up the trees, and power lines.

75-76 here yesterday. I put about 150-200 miles on the scooter. My ass/tailbone was numb from an hour in, and then in pain for about four hours afterward.

Won't be going to Montana soon.

I have lower back issues these days...I'm curious to see how my back holds up over the next 2 weeks. If we get a car with comfy seats, it might be a moot point.

Not current. Jan. 3rd rain fall flooded the crossing of hwy 18 and hwy 15 here in town. The gazebo is where there was a spring when I was a child, until someone tried to clean it out and fix up. Also was once a Bay tree. Hence the name of town. Found the first photo on FB. Last was made on past Sunday..

We're going camping this weekend! I'm taking the troop on a Wilderness Survival merit badge camping trip where they make their own shelters out of sticks and twigs and dead leaves. They build them Saturday during the day and then spend the night in them.

And guess what? Tropical storm Bill remnants are hitting us just as it's time to climb in to those "shelters." We have a 96% chance of rain that night with an expected 1.5 inches total. It will be like aiming a garden hose at the shelters for 10 hours. LOL. This is gonna be something those boys remember for a long time. At least with temps only getting down to 74, hypothermia is not likely. And they will have space blankets.

Worst case scenario, the cars are parked a half mile away and it's only a fifteen minute drive home.

We've got 8 adults signed up to take 4 team shifts of 2 hours each to check the boys during the night. It'll be fine, right?

Just chose your campsites wisely

... not under that big tree with dead limbs
... not down there in that smooth grassy gulley
... not up there at the top of that rocky outcrop
... not over there by that building's gutter downspouts

And have a really good time

Oh yes, if your camping in something of a city-like park,
... not over there in the off-lease dog area

...not in the bear's dining room.
...not over there in the junkies' shooting gallery.
...not down by that pile of old Hustler magazines with the pages all stuck together.
