Not a lot going on here in the desert this morning. There were not any activities planned as most watched the Inauguration on TV. we get a fairly good signal out of Yuma, a little snow but that is about 80 miles away. Others have satellites that they use. We certainly wish him the best and the ability to get things straightened out and the country back on track.
We have had some interesting seminars yesterday and this afternoon. One this afternoon was on remote controlled model railroading. They called it garden rail roads. These are set up outside and are much larger than the ones we played with when kids. It was interesting to see that more than one train can be controlled by the same remote. Better to have batteries in each train than to power the track and have to vary the amperage depending on how many units you have running.
We went to town this afternoon to get some groceries, do some laundry and mail some mail. Also we made a trip to the trash refuse facility to empty our trash. We can take our personal trash there, but not large amounts.
When we returned several people came by to order name tags and we had some other work to do so we kept busy the rest of the day.
The weather was warm but clouds are moving in and they are talking about rail in the Yuma area, but do not know if it will get this far north. Time will tell what Mother Nature decides to do. Rain in the desert might be interesting to see. There is a lot of rocks and gravel here but dirt mixed in as well. There are several washes where water has washed the soil/gravel away, but how much it takes remains to be seen.
