Update


With gas prices going up again... I've been checking gas mileage on all vehicles lately. Virago, BMW and Suzuki all got over 50 on their last tank full. Of course the 400 gets even better at 68. The car got 29.4 going to CA, but we lucked out and had a tail wind going both ways.

Been in the low 80's, 50's at night when we don't have a cold front with winds come through. Too warm too early in the year. May have to turn on your new MasterCool Evaporative Cooler sooner this year. No rain in weeks, the desert is very brown, typical for spring.

Last week Mom and I saw the Int'l Space Station, Endeavor and the European cargo ship, Jules Verne, supplies the ISS with cargo, last week. After dark, almost straight up and for only 10-15 seconds while the Sun was reflecting off them. Visible only with the naked eye because they are moving very fast up about 200 miles up. They were different colors and very close together. Time and location for you are on Satellite Flybys.com.

We had a picnic with a few friends Sat. from the bike group, hoping for a better turnout, but 7 people did show up. At Album park. McKelligon Canyon is closed due to road construction.

Got 3 DVDs, 3:10 to Yuma was good until the end when the criminal turns himself in, Ya Right! The Martian Child was really good and watching Kingdom of Heaven in Blu-ray is very bloody.
Linda and I took the BMW, pic above, to Sierra Blanca Friday, it ran good but the radio, my fault, wouldn't again.
