I had planned to get an early start on a quick trip North and was up at 3am to finish loading the truck. After taking a quick shower to remove the cob
webs I heard my patio furniture sliding across the patio and being launched into the neighbors yard. CHIVASCO! I hurried to close up the windows and
doors before the house filled with sand and pickup everything that had blown away or was going to take off in the 40mph gusts. So now most the things
I had planned to do at a leisurely pace are done and I'm covered with sand and sweat. Back to the shower and this time the coffee's ready when I get
out but the wind still gusting to the mid to upper 30"s. High gust 42mph. Now I sit here waiting for the wind to die a bit so I can finish loading the
truck and begin my adventure to Laguna for a week or so. Bumber! The house is all closed up but I seem to be on the wrong side of the door..........
For the moment.

Even though I left later than normal I had a good trip and didn't see any accidents. And now I see I missed the rain this morning. Well at least the
cactus fruit will be ready when I return
