Cannonball: Went and found all the google maps I could. We have some relatives that just moved to Payson. Mayer to Payson isn't very far! Not when we are talking fire.
I wish you well and them, too. Likin' this little burg, with no weather and flat, more all the time.

Ms. Mookie, a wise choice to stay there. Here in northern AZ. it is fire season.Right now we have a 4400acre fire going on. The wind is nasty and is helping the fire spread and the ash is falling down. We are 25 mi. from the fire which is near the ridge line west of Mayer Az. If the wind changes from the sw. and swings around from the north(uh oh). The smoke has blotted the sun somewhat , and very thick. There are several fire crews from N.M. here and fire bombers from Montana. The airport for the aircraft is 10 mi.north from the fire for the slurry bombers. So now we sit and and watch. Respectfully, Cannonball
Y6bs evergreen in my mind
Larry, glad to hear your mom is getting better, and there will be prayers for her and you at the prayer meeting wed. afternoon. Hope you had a good time in spite of things. Respectfully, Cannonball
Bob,
Being a Waterford native I try to avoid downtown Flint.

The problem here in AZ is that you get out of the bath-water-warm pool and step into the +100F night air, and you're COLD. Of course, it's due to the evaporation...
One more day and I'm out of the oven. Mom's improving slowly, but she'll never be back to 100%. Then, again, it looks like she'll survive at least until her 91st birthday at the end of July. And even the rehab folks are impressed with her progress.
Going back to spring-like temperatures, which would be OK if it was spring.

Going to be a short summer here. Our humidity stays pretty low; we get smatters of rain; lots of cool temps - in the 50's at nite & while it can be 95, it isn't as hot as it has felt in the past. When I was young and always too warm, we had blistering summers. Now that I am old and cold - I can't even tolerate the air conditioning - and need to keep running outside to warm up.
But don't want to move to AZ, either. I am afraid they will start finding humidity somewhere and they will be Nebraska west....
Went back to work today.Boss said I can't go any more vactions.Ns local was uptown.Came home and got a couple sprinkles as I mowed the yard.Farmers could use some more here in Nw Ohio.
Took a ride this morning on the 15" gauge railroad at the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park in Scottsdale. Next weekend is the last weekend for steam for the summer, if you're so inclined. I think the engineer took on as much water as the tender...
morning
cool here in Nw Ohio.Going to go see what csx wants to run.Have supper tonight with in-laws now that everyone is back home.Tomorrow it's back to work.Keep cool Larry.

samfp1943Two words, Larry; SWIMMING POOL!
The room isn't bad right now, and the pool (along with the rest of the hotel) is packed. Doesn't close until midnight, though, so I might wander down later...
Two words, Larry; SWIMING POOL!
Weather Guessers, around here,
said the temp out there are still gonna be scortching...
Enjoy! Just remember, that New York weather will seem pretty good on your return.
mudchicken Light rain overnight just quit. 25 degree drop in the high temperature here today. Dancing in the streets in Denver.

Still hotter than the hubs of, well, you know, here in Phoenix. But we got over 2" of rain at home...
Paid a visit to the Hall of Flame today. If I moved out here, I'd be there most of the time, probably as a docent... (did I say that already?).
Tomorrow morning, it's the Railroad Park in Scottsdale. And, of course, another visit to Mom. Unfortunately, although the stroke wasn't as bad as it could have been, it definitely affected her memory. It's a bit of a battle sometimes - she was so independent even a week or so ago, and she's not taking it well.
Is that the same kind of wobble the train cars make rolling down the track or the oval shaped wheels??
BOB WITHORNwhat could possibly happen to my truck in Flint, Mi. :)

Bob - maybe shut door, not only for rain, which is easy to deal with, but also against small animals or bad people looking for a way to get away....plus you will look a lot more "fetching" if you don't walk away from people looking like you have a medical problem...
just sayin'....
Why is it that the rain comes down the hardest when you have to run through it?? Had a couple of short bursts on the drive to the station this morning and it eased up a bit for the dash from the parking garage to the station. It became an absolute deluge when the train arrived and I had to make the mad dash from the station building to the train. Didn't get too wet, though. Rain was lighter for the walk from CUS to work.
Good morning
Tree prayers for your mom.MC no wax behind the ears.Mom would always check after bathtime to make sure no potatoes were growing.Rain has arrived in Nw Ohio.Guessers say 70 for Monday.
Not sure I can handle living somewhere that you have to hustle from one air conditioned venue to the next...
Visited with Mom. She suffered a small stroke (or several). Some loss of function on one side, but mentally as sharp as she's been of late. But she will turn 91 this summer.
Headed for the Hall of Flame in the AM, while she's in PT...
