A very windy day here on Ogilby Road......

 

Our Location: 

North of MM 4, Ogilby Road, Winterhaven, California

 

The wind picked up last night and is still with us today. The weather guessers are saying 25 mph/40 km an hour gusts for most of the morning. And I can tell you it feels as if they may be right on the mark. Our temps are still on the very chilly side sitting at 56F/13C. Yes I know back home in the great white north that would be considered balmy but for here it's down right cold. 

 

A stay inside day and keep warm, some nice homemade soup for comfort food and a good book or a good game or two, what else can one do on a day like this?

 

 

Our condolences go out to Janet and Dennis on the loss of his brother Bobby. The boys came from a large family and grew up in Port Anne. Hockey was a passion for a lot of the boys. Dennis and Janet have a farm not far from Port Anne, in Roseneath, Ontario. We stay at Buttercup Ridge usually twice a year on our journey's to and from the west.  

 

As I'm sure you can tell by now, today's photos were ones that I haven't used but liked. They are from our hike in Calcite Mine Slot Canyon and a couple from our trip to Julian, California as well. 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you have had a wonderful day where you may be. 

 

Until next time...

 

Take care, stay safe,

Still windy here.....

Our Location: South Entrance BLM, Joshua Tree National Park

 

Yesterday was once again a day to have the big slide pulled in. The wind gusts were sneaky. No wind for an hour or so and then bam big gusts, on and on and on. Stop again for a while, start again really quick. The Igloo rocking and rolling I'm sure has scrambled the eggs, so no sunny side up ones until we get to the store. 

Another inside day again yesterday, but on tonight's post I've some photos to share. I think we will be heading into Indio for a bit today to get out and about and do a few errands. Janet's friend goes home today so perhaps we'll see Janet Thursday or Friday. After that we're hoping to move on from this windy knoll.

I spoke with my buddy Ron for an hour or so yesterday, just getting caught up on the news. Him and his lovely wife Sharon were heading out in the cold Kansas weather on their annual Good Luck motorcycle ride. They take one every New Year's Day for as long as they've been married and I think he said maybe 3 or 4 before the wedding bells too. Ron told me the wind was cold, the sun was shining and they had snow. I believe he may have said 17F/ -8.3C was the temperature. I could be mistaken of course but I'm pretty sure that was the number he said. They bundle up well and have switched from a two wheeled Honda to a Trike. Be a bit more stable I think.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed your day where ever you may have been. 

Until next time.. take care, be safe,
