It only went down to 44 last night but we had high wind gusts of 31 MPH and .02" of rain. The sky is clear right now but the wind continues. The weather swings on the Rim at this time of year are pretty dramatic. It would be tough to be a weather person in this area.
A woman came into the store yesterday and said she and her family would like to leave two days earlier than their planned stay here. The reason was they didn't think it would be so cold here. She complained that her kids couldn't play outside because of the cold temperatures and wind. That's a first for us. I guess that happens a lot during this time of year.
It's getting so slow in the store now that it is difficult to find things to do to stay busy. Yesterday was so slow we only did $75 in store sales. That, combined with our credit card sales, created a total deposit of only $345. It would be tough to keep the business open at all if those kind of numbers continue. The last big business push will be later this week and weekend with the Arizona Elk Society function. We are still on target to leave here on October 21.
Tomorrow and Thursday will be used to get our rig in shape to move on. Also, we will go to Cottonwood to try and wrap up a job for Josie and to get her eye checked at the doctor's office. The uncertainty right now is making us a little uncomfortable but we know things will work out. Everybody has a certain amount of uncertainty in his/her life so it's really no different for us. It makes life exciting, doesn't it?
Until tomorrow...
