Today we didn’t do nothing. Nope, we just sat around resting our bones. So, technically, we did do something, just not much.

I took Max out early for a long walk which was a good thing because of the rain later in the day. The sky was overcast and there was significant cloud coverage on the surrounding mountains, so it was obvious that something was going to happen.

On this walk, I let Max take the lead to see where he would take me. He took us quite a way from our normal route and we wound up near the fence that encompasses the airplane bone yard. It’s an impressive site and I haven’t been able to get a decent photo that shows how amazing it is. So, I took some more photos and decided to do a little editing to see if it would help. Here’s what I got.

Understand, this is a very small portion of the planes that are stored at this facility. I would like to see the area where the old fighter planes are stored but I’m not sure that we have access to that area from the active part of the base. So, just let your imagination run wild. You can also Google Davis-Monthan Boneyard or just use the link and be amazed.

We almost made it back to the rig before the rain started so we both got a little bit wet. Max didn’t mind. He loves to get the water toweled off.

Then it rained. It rained really hard, and there was a lot of thunder. Max could hear it before we could and barked, but when it got into our hearing range, he was quiet. He doesn’t mind that getting wet plays havoc with his hair. He doesn’t care about that either. We got outside a few other times between the heavy rain showers during the day, but they were short walks. It rained pretty must all day. In Oregon it would be a drizzle between the rainstorms.

Here’s a photo from yesterday that I couldn’t include with that post because I was having problems transferring it to the laptop.

I stood behind our rig to take this. A pretty magnificent sunset, right?

Now I must stop. Today is my shower day.
