Cold and Rainy

It has been raining for two days now. I am cold, and haven't done anything at all. My old bones hurt, and I go to bed every now and then to get warm under my electric blanket. Even my dog seems to be cold, she is wearing her sweater too. I do have a down comforter but it just gets me too warm, I only use it when I don't have electric, as in boondocking.
Still looking at maps, and trying to decide where to go, or if I should go at all. My friend in Quartzsite says Diesel is $3.42 a gal, I just don't know if I can justify spending that much money to set in the desert! I will have to do more research and planning before I just take off. I guess my new roof is good, as I can't find any leaks!

  1. Don't you think a change of venue would do you a benefit? Hard to do long term weather forecasting, it looks like it will be warmer and drier than where you are, and I suspect the next few weeks will feature an even greater warm-up. Then there is the likelihood of meeting old friends from past trips. Just a thought.

  2. I agree with Wil - you need a change, and will probably see old friends and maybe make some new ones.

  3. I am glad your roof job was a success. I'm with the others, I think you need to get out there and live. There is cheaper diesel. In Uvalde, on one end of town it is 3.35 a gallon and on the other end it is 3.09 a gallon.

  4. They say a change is as good as a rest & I have often found that saying to be true. A change of venue is often like a magic elixir & I find it's great for giving my attitude a jolt from time to time. For me, cold & wet is all it would take to get the big wheels rolling:))
