The Silence of the Blog

The sun sets on the last full day in AZ.  I returned last Friday evening and mostly have been grumpy and in a state of shock as I adjust to the weather.  The transition is not going well.  The good news is, in less then a month I'll be in central FL but that seems like years away. 

The last morning started out like most, blue sky.  I miss that.

The day ended like most, sitting in the spa.  These things are great at the end of a hard hike or ride.  I actually hardly rode out there but did on the last day, 46 miles to Oracle and back.

Another sun setting on the last day scenes.  This is one of my favorites, driving toward Oro Valley going south.  I found a restaurant in Catalina that has a bar called "Big Ten" and it has the "Big Ten Network" playing on a large screen TV.  That's where those of us from the Midwest go.  Really great BBQ type food. 

Friday morning, looking at the Santa Catalina mountains from the Tucson airport.  I live at the base of the peak on the extreme left.  Being somewhat greedy, we have our condo rented January, February and March.  Doing so covers all the annual HOA fees, insurance, utilities, etc... but it's not worth it and will never happen again.  Well, got to go outside and split more wood.  Weather not looking good for the weekend.
