I got in a decent ElliptiGO ride and then washed my 2017's, on Sunday. I was tired but couldn't let a 70° day go to waste! Snow might fall tonight (Monday pm/Tuesday am). In another ten days it's predicted to be up to the 80s in Loveland, Colorado. I'll be in California then, where it's predicted to be cooler. I ain't ready for 80°! I plan to go to my 5th wheel at Kennedy Meadows in the eastern Sierras, in eleven days. The wild flowers should be awesome everywhere, from the hills in Orange County to the deserts, and oceans. Well, in all of CA. It's normally much warmer than it has been this year, so the super blooms that are usually dying aren't this year. The rain and snow have made high records this past season in California, Nevada and Utah. Lake Mead is already taking in water which is much earlier than normal.


^4-2-2023. Two miles from home.



4-2-2023. It's starting to green up, barely. Really.




^4-2-2023.



^4-2-2023.



^4-2-2023. Deer hour so I put it to bed instead of driving it, although I did drive it 10 miles to air dry it after the wash and before the two ​​​​detail sprays.

You certainly have your options. OMG, it was 50° here and now they are saying it could be waaaaaaaay warmer in a day or two. Makes me want to run around naked in the yard but the wife said too many people could die laughing.

I was going to clean and detail the interior of the WRX today but it is too cold only 32. I took it to the car wash and rinsed off the exterior and vacuumed the interior. Should be the last visit to the car wash of the season warm weather is supposed to hit us this week,

Doing a little grocery shopping this afternoon. Not what one would normally consider a big deal but after spending most of the last two weeks reclined with a bulging disk the outing will be a treat.

Did you move wrong? Any idea why the disc bulged?

I would like to hoped to get in a 30 mile long ElliptiGO ride today. I'm waiting for the motivation. More coffee, first off.

I am planning my first outing in the s2k a week from today at the waterpark parking lot on us30 near crown point in. It is an interesting course with a hill in the middle. It is slippery and lots of curves some with negative camber....my cup of tea. A crucial element is not too many corners to keep in mind.

Cool temps this weekend. The P car is now uncovered, looks great, and we will be out in it later this week. We are heading to NY next weekend to visit my nephew and his family. The P car will be the vehicle of choice.
This weekend is a bit of hanging around. I went to the gym as usual, went for a short walk, and this afternoon organized the flash drives (many of them) on which I have back ups of my photos. Photos are also saved to an external drive. I should still modernize my back up system. I also know I have saved way too many photos which should have been deleted long ago, but I'm not about to go through them now.

No gym tomorrow as it's Easter, no plans unless it warms up a bit. Rick has his outdoor "to do" list going, but we will work around that when the weather is warmer this week. Next up for him, power wash deck and I forgot what else. He has most of his flowers in trays and growing in the kitchen. Better results this year, bought different potting soil. Proven Winner. Last year the Miracle Grow did not yield good results.

Supposed to be good weather next week Lainey.
I’m hoping to be able to tinker with the cars next weekend including getting the S out. We still have quite a bit of snow in our ‘dooryard’ so hopefully it won’t be a mud pit next weekend.
I’ve been relaxing today catching up on sleep, had a busy stressful week, just going to hang out tonight and catch up on some t.v.
