Watching the Rain

Beginning yesterday in the early afternoon, we have had a storm front arrive that has been steadily dropping rain and is continuing this morning. The forecast for the next week includes rain chances as follows: Today-80 % (try 100%), Fri-80%, Sat-40%, Sun-50%, Mon-40%, Tue-40%, Wed-60%. There is not one sunny day in the forecast and the high temperatures are to be in the high 60's. We are beginning to feel like we are in Seattle in March.

Work, as mentioned previously, has reached a new phase this season and we are not selling out, but being kept busy with walk-ins. Our manager has requested we stay over for one week in October, if possible, to help with an expected busy week as they enter the winter season. We have no problem with that as we are not in a rush to return to AZ, and our site is ready for us whenever we arrive. As long as we can beat the snow out of WY, it works for us. It means extra cash and more bonus when we leave.

There is what appears to be a very slow leak in one of the front tires of the truck. All of our tires were filled with nitrogen a couple years ago and I am searching for a location that offers nitrogen for tires. There are none within about 120 miles of Jackson. There is one location in Pocatello, ID, at a Chevy dealership that we may visit if we can combine the trip with other stops to justify the distance. The tire isn't leaking (nitrogen) very fast, but it needs to be fixed before we head out in October. The truck hasn't been driven much at all since we arrived in May, so maybe the trip will be a good opportunity to keep it in shape. With the rain coming down, it may our best option for the day...
