June 25-29, 2024 Fort Collins, Colorado

 98 degrees today and mostly sunny.



We met Mandy for dinner at the Rio. Great to see her and the food was wonderful. Sylvia stopped at the table to say hi too. Kids playing in the fountain at Old Town Square. Running, laughing squealing. Having a blast.



A deer on the bike path. Sunset over the river by the water park.



Sunset with the Waves sculpture at the water park. Sunset on the bike path.



We are buying a new 4 wheel drive vehicle to tow behind the bus and for John to drive. Looking at this Chevy Colorado. No other colors unless we want to spend more. Also looked at Jeeps.  Free music in Old Town Square tonight 



Sunset under possible thunder storm. But it went past us. John cleaned out his 21 year old van and put the seats back in to trade it in. I have never seen it with seats, or this clean.



We are now the proud owners of this brand new, beautiful, metallic bronze 2024 Chevy Colorado. A gift from my little brother's estate. Thank you Jerry! It will be tricked out with a bed liner, a topper, kayak racks, bike racks and equipped to be the tow vehicle behind our bus. Which means it will get a plate screwed to the bottom with attachments for the tow bar, wiring for the lights and some kind of braking so it brakes when the bus brakes. Woo hoo! Weds John is getting the bed liner sprayed in and he ordered a topper similar to this, that will be painted to match the truck. They are also putting lift assist kayak racks on it. 



We need to rearrange a lot of things to make room for the new truck. My new kiln on it's new rolling cart. I ran it last night and it works really well. 



My studio is getting more cramped. Well the whole garage is. This new truck is much bigger than John's van was.  See my small kiln on my work bench, The larger blue one  and the new one in the corner with the tools under a kayak. Sunset looks a lot like the one night before. The sunset sneaking in under a big cloud deck. 



Ominous looking sky when I headed out  to bike tonight . 


Rain on it's way. We had a couple real loud thunders and a little bit of rain.
