    Hey, if old friends are involved I am sure you had fun.
    How'd the leather kilt do? did you just have to wipe it off?

    Looks like you should have added "wellies" to your ourfit!

    Coulda used the Wellies for sure. Tossed in the kilt hose as an after thought...glad I did. Leather kilt was well soaked then sitting on it for the three hour drive home it creased up well. Hung it up at home, moistened it, and straightened the pleats and put weighted clips on each pleat so they'd dry straight. Looks like its working. Never felt "wet" in the rain in the leather kilt. Most rain ran off, or if it soaked in any didn't get to the inside where I'd feel it. Love my leather kilts for hard weather.

    A high pressure area has been sitting over eastern NM and western TX the last few days driving southern moisture up over most of AZ. It's supposed to move east starting tomorrow allowing that moisture to move over NM. I hope so. We need it.

    We got it! It's been raining here pretty much all day. It's supposed to hang around a few days. Hopefully, our drought conditions will improve.

    Good pic Ron.
    Here was I thinking Arizona was all about drought and dry desert and now we have a pic with rain and lush green trees just like Scotland.
