Still laying in bed listening to the rain. Not a hard rain for now but supposed to be heavier rain later with possible Thunderstorms. The hike to Idyllwlld was changed to a hike right behind us here in the Indio Badlands. However, that isn't a good place to be with possible flash floods, with all the small slot canyons back there. So that was probably cancelled this morning too, since we are under a flash flood watch.
Went to a seminar last night here about the future of the Salton Sea. Was very informative. I guess they plan to let it mostly dry up but try to keep one part of it with water for recreation and waterfowl habitat. I guess there are no longer any fish in the lake since the salinity is 3 times the level of the ocean and killed off all the fish years ago. When I was down there about 8 years ago, there were dead fish everywhere along the shores. The problem now is with it all drying up, the dust from it gets picked up by the winds and blows up here causing respiratory issues for people. They are now trying to find a solution to keep it from getting into the air (the sand is mixed with salt and years of accumulated decayed birds, fish and barnacles). The area also is a bird refuge with hundreds of species of birds, ducks and other waterfowl stopping there during their migration south and north. It is a birders paradise!
It is getting lighter out now and I hear birds singing, so maybe a little reprieve from the rain for a bit.
Have a good day!
There are some file folders standing up behind the printer and it was in one of them. I must have put the plate on the printer and opened the lid and it slid into one of the folders. 
. Even my church has cancelled their services and will just have them on-line for awhile. Pretty much everything in the valley here is on hold.
I found a buyer today and got a good price for it. I really don't think I will get enough use out of it right now. I have so many other things going on here for awhile that will keep me busy (well, that was before the CV, but do have my gourd art I want to spend time on), and I really need the money right now, especially if my hours get cut back or God forbid, things get much worse and the shop gets closed for awhile. I still have half of my property taxes to pay and also my income taxes coming up that I will probably have to pay in this year. Also have to pay the additional electric bill amount that I used above what they were prorating for the previous owner who was only here for 3 months each year. I will get that bill tomorrow. The $3K hit I took last month didn't help any either. I think I will wait awhile before getting something else to travel with, and am thinking it will be a van or small Class C next time. I want to get caught up financially and get debt-free over the next year or so.
