14 out side no wonder your headed for Palm Springs. Today is a day of
lite rain it is 55 out side and I'm snivelling, until I read your 14F in
Alaska. Mexico sounds like fun and the weather is always so much better
this time of year. I was there in feb 04 enjoying the weather and blue
sky, until I went to Huntington Beach, was a fog basin, It was like
being back in San Francisco socked in with fog for days on end. I
survived 10 days with my daughter who was getting divorced. Her x left
his mom and her together...after enlarging the house 100%. I would have
lost them both as well and skipped the construction. LOL
Glad your done working for the season. Will look foreward to your posts
through other's blowing in the wind here.  Juanita

I'm doing good, all healed up from the 80+ hour weeks of the "end of
year grind" to get jobs done before winter. Well it's here, currently 14
F outside.
I'm heading for Palm Springs CA on the 7th of November for some sun fun,
buy a newer used car, head for AZ to visit friends and other romantic
interests, throw my hat in the air and see what direction it goes and so
shall I. Maybe a week in Mexico? Russia is proving to be a logistical
nightmare for travel, will rethink that a bit.. Perhaps the Ukraine?
They do not require a crazy visa where you have to buy tickets, hotel,
get invitation letter, BEFORE you apply for visa. And I can stay for 90
days, just whip out the old passport and in ya go! Probably some
Ludmila's there too, haha inside joke...
I'll be in Washington sometime around T-Day and then drive back home on
the Al-Can Hwy.. I'll have to get to see Shawn and Randi, I'll give you
a call too. Ya never know where I might end up ELMO!!!
Winter is the cruise time on that road, all smooth with ice, and at cold
temps the rubber really grips the ice!! hahaha..... I look forward to
driving around in the sun and snow.
Stay well my friend!
