RAZRing....

 7:16 am - Friday - November 4th - GNHS - 54° F, 40% humidity, wind 5 mph out of the north.....partly cloudy today with a forecast high of 71° F.  On this date in 2015 we were visiting friends in South Lake Tahoe on our way south.....we were shocked to see how low the lake had gotten since we left in early September.......↴

.....the view this morning.....

We awoke Thursday to a beautiful sunrise.....I love this time of year in the SoCal desert....just about the time you begin to wake up you can see the sunrise, which is often spectacular.  Then, within a few days DST will kick in again, and we will be seeing the sunrise at 5:30 am, instead of 6:30 am.....way before we want to be awake.  But then our body clocks will adjust over a month or so, and we'll get used to this man made, and completely unnecessary time change.

Thursday was to be an extremely busy day as we assisted Bob and Casey in getting the office set up, which would involve completely rearranging the furniture, and removing some built in shelving to make more room for a bigger table, and their shelving.  Bob wanted to be able to use the shelving in the CONEX they are using to store other supplies, and after ripping it out, I rebuilt it using all of the screws, and 20 penny nails I had just removed.  

Before I began to rebuild the shelving, I assisted Bob in installing their Starlink dishy.  We mounted it on top of the little office building, cut a hole in the wall to pass the cable through to the router, and had high speed internet within 10 minutes....Bob has never used Starlink before, and was astounded at how easy it was....no kidding....lol!....

....once that was done Bob and TLE got work setting up their two laptops, and programming 6 Samsung tablets which will be used as GPS devices in each of the RAZRS (by the way, the 3 two seaters are really Kawasaki's, not Polaris'.....my bad).  Once I finished rebuilding the shelving Bob had me begin installing the mounting brackets for the tablets in each RAZR....the installation in the Polaris RAZR's looks like this......

Mounted 'landscape' fashion

......and in the Kawasaki's like this......

Mounted 'portrait' fashion

.....I managed to get 4 of them done before 5 pm (3 RAZRS's and 1 Kawasaki).  Bob and Casey decided to take all the employees of GNHS for a sunset RAZR ride, so we met back at the office at 5:30 pm to do just that....

I'm ready to Rock 'N Roll

.....once all the RAZR's were assigned (we had one of the Kawasaki 2 seaters) Bob gave us our pre-ride instruction, and then we were off heading into the sunset......

......the bat caves are about 10 miles north of GNHS, and it took us about 35 minutes of driving to reach them.  The view looking north was beautiful as the sunset afterglow continued on for about 20 minutes......

Our RAZR parked at the bat caves

All those lights are Salton City, on the west side of the Salton Sea

One of the bat caves....we missed the daily flight of the bats

.....we were back at the office around 7:30 pm after a very exciting night ride home.  TLE asked me to take this picture of her showing how dirty her sweatshirt got....you can see the seatbelt marks.....

....this was only our third time RAZR riding.....you may remember we went RAZR riding with our good friend Tom McCloud back in 2021, and with my brother-in-law in Montana back in July of 2020.  At any rate, we had a blast, and are looking forward to many more rides this winter!

Thanks for stopping by!
