Life is good!

 7:26 am - Thursday - March 10th - Anza Borrego Desert, CA - 59° F, 44% humidity, wind 15-20 mph out of the north by northwest.....we're rockin' like a boat!  The forecast high for today is 71° F with high winds for the rest of the day.  On this date in 2021 we were driving north on I-5 back to Seal Rock, OR in the snow.....here we are just coming up to Mt. Shasta.....↴

Life is good....what else is there to say?  Well, I always have a lot to say, so here goes.  I began Wednesday by going outside around 9:30 am to sit in one of the camp chairs by the firepit, in the sun, to read for about an hour.  Sitting there reading, taking an occasional sip of hot coffee, occasionally glancing up to take in the big view, and feeling the warming rays of the morning sun on my back was delightful.

At 10:30 am TLE and I took our, now, customary 1.25 mile walk towards Clark Dry Lake Bed, and back, then I returned to reading, but this time in my anti gravity chair.  As I read gentle zephyrs out of the west washed over my body having an almost soporific effect.  As I slowly drifted into 'napdom' I thought life could not get much better.  As I dozed I could hear the strains of Etta James singing "I'd rather go blind" softly playing on my bluetooth speaker in the background.  Yup, life is good.

Around noon time I roused myself to drive into town with TLE....she wanted to pickup a couple of things at the grocery store, and browse through the cool stuff at The Frugal Coyote.  Once again we both found things without which we felt we could not live.  I found a pair of 'shoe trees' for a pair of dress shoes I have, an almost new Field and Stream long sleeved flannel shirt, and three matching Callaway Big Bertha 'woods' for my burgeoning gold club collection.  Now I have two matched sets of irons, one set of matched woods, and three, or four putters to begin my summer of golf.  I'll be making choices about which clubs I like and dislike later this summer, and then donating those I do not wish to keep to a local thrift store near Likely, CA.

Upon returning from our short foray into Borrego Springs TLE and I took our second 1.25 mile walk of the day, and then I settled into my anti gravity chair reading until around 3:30 pm when the forecast high winds began to intensify. By the time we went to bed the winds were rocking the Newell, and howling through our solar panels for the entire night.  As I sit here this morning they have calmed somewhat, but are still gusting to over 20 mph.  The forecast indicates they will continue into the night, so it appears today will be an indoor day.  In spite of the winds I managed to get a nice, subtle sunset picture.....

In spite of all that I still say "Life is good".....that's my 2 ¢, and I'm sticking too it....by the way, diesel in Borrego Springs rose 40¢ to $6.89/gallon....yeah, I know....not so good......thanks for stopping by!
