    I think it's in town here too. Here it gets unseasonably hot. Yesterday it was up around 90. We have a little breeze today so it probably won't reach that.

    My new daughter in law is freezing in Killeen. My son said it's cold, but warmer than it was. He's pretty warm blooded like I am though.

    I guess it's to windy for the Desert !! , seeing a huge amount of toy trailers , Motorhomes and Jeeps heading west towards home

    The winds are picking up with blowing dust , tumbleweeds and dust devils . my Tacoma is getting blown all over the roads here . Seeing 20mph sustained and gusts to 35mph right now and the Red flag condition alert doesn't start until 2200hrs tonite

    That is when the gusts will be 45 -65mph

    We won't get that much wind, but we have gray skys and I can see the neighbor's trees blowing around. I haven't checked the weather since the first of last week...figured since I was in the office it wouldn't much matter.

    It's like a mass exodus from the desert , all the trucks , trailers and Jeeps are covered in a silty sand and most are coming from Johnson Valley OHV area which is near 29 Palms

    I don't know what's going on. Traffic in town is a mess, the stores are crowded, the LTVA's are over flowing, I-8 is a steady flow of rv's and toys. Next weekend is a 3 or 4 dayer so I have no clue what's happening. I was talking to the lead park ranger yesterday and he said every LTVA contact station is well over permit sales now from what they had the end of season last year. And we.still 2 1/2 months to go (April 15th). How we do out there is an indicator of the economy, so evidently it's pretty good.

    I just got a call from the upholstery shop my Camaro is at and all that's needed is to install the seats and it is ready to pick up on Monday Morning

    Talking with the owner of the shop it looks awesome and is fitted nicely to the roll cage

    Removed wall tile in shower and patched new ones!
    Put cabinets in for more storage and a future sink. Will put the dbl base cabinet next to toilet.

    Good Afternoon/ evening

    Pellet stove been running good all day.
    I found a pellet got caught between the ash pan door and the front door, causing a bad seal. It's always something simple.:fingerscrossed:

    You can come redo the grout in my shower. I think I need to add some of those corner trim pieces so I can get some overlap at all the corners.
