Eighty or so days to get to know the dude with the little truck and fridge.

GET ON THAT.

Happy Solstice! At least that's what one happy camper exclaimed as we walked through the campsite of one of our provincial campsites on the shore of Howe Sound. The weather has just turned for the better, with temperatures hovering where they normally should be for this time of year. After work, Geri and I took the 15 minute drive in the GS to Porteau Cove to share a few cold refreshments by the beach. The whole campsite was full, lucky people!











This is the boat ramp where I usually launch my boat. These guys just returned from fishing and are camped at the site.















That's our newly rebuilt highway in the background. More than 600 million dollars was spent on it in the two years prior to the Winter Olympics.

Wow, real trees!!!!
AND WATER!!!! *thud*, and Geri's wearing a sweater !!!!! God it's gonna hit 110 today, thanks for those pics Nando, I feel just a little cooler before I jump in a hot shower...no cool water today, I just checked :angryfire: :bootyshake: :angryfire: , my smooth delicate skin on my firm, shapely rearend doesn't like to get scalded, I ain't no cat :cyclops:

Ahhh, big tall pines, crisp cool water, clean fresh air without smoke!! Heavenly!!

btw, all state and federal parklands in AZ are closed for the summer, absolutely no admittance whatsoever!! Only folks like Dale who have to work in them for valid reasons are allowed in, they even hassle him, calling his boss to find out why he's going up there. Seriously, the border with Mexico is not as well guarded. A couple hikers snuck into Sabino Canyon, got lost and ran out of water, they used their cell phone to call for help, the Park Service is fining them for the $20,000 helicopter ride out, and the Feds are charging them a $50,000 criminal tresspass park fee :twisted: :cheers: :twisted:

Stuwee, I bet your cheeks are coarse enough to roughen up the veneer on my Pioneer HPM-100s before I rub in the Danish Oil.

I can't imagine that kind of Arizona heat for an extended period of time. It's got to sap the energy right out of you. You, probably, have just enough fortitude in you to flip that LP over on your Thorens. Have you been grooving to the Thompson Twins, tonight?

I'm almost certain Stu's been playing Hold Me Now over and over.

Please, save the record and play No One Is To Blame a while and work in some OMD and Belouis Some, then reach for the Dread Zeppelin.

You will thank me someday.

It's not summer again YET but it's getting WARMER...

and a reminder to Nando to have a good chance to take and post more pictures of Geri and lakes.

I'll post summer pictures, soon. This week the forecast looks to be good. That means time to uncover the boat, service the outboard, wax the hull, and get it ready for the water. This is last summer:
