                      If there is such a
                        thing as
                        ‘perfect’ rain, we’ve now had the pleasure of
                        experiencing it.
                        We had been having hot dry weather again and the forests
                        were drying
                        out, again. Then, on Tuesday evening a weather front
                        moved in from
                        the west and it started to rain. The rain was steady,
                        not too hard,
                        just nice and steady, and it was warm. That meant the
                        rain could soak
                        in much better than a cold rain would. The rain lasted
                        all Tuesday
                        evening and all that night and most of Wednesday. You
                        could see the
                        plants perking up. You could see the ground absorbing
                        the water. It
                        was good, very good. By Thursday the front had moved out
                        and another
                        hot dry spell had moved in. But, as far as I’m
                        concerned, we had
                        had the ‘perfect’ rain. 
                    
                      We’ve been able to
                        ride to
                        the gondola on the Harley whenever its not too cold
                        (chilly mornings)
                        and not rainy. The cool thing about that is we park on
                        the sidewalk
                        by the admin building and store our helmets in the back
                        room of the
                        lower retail outlet. Sort of like being VIP’s which is
                        ok. The
                        people there get a kick out of us old farts turning up
                        on a
                        motorcycle. 
                    
                      The kids had
                        intended to come
                        up this weekend but Ryan picked up Covid on the last
                        tour so that
                        won’t be happening. We had hoped to have the girls here
                        a bit this
                        summer but there always seems to be a reason or excuse
                        for them not
                        to come. I’ll leave it at that.
