The deserts have been spectacular. As we head into warmer and more humid climates, I think I will miss the relative comfort of the dry desert heat.

They played a great joke on me when they got started. He put the pannier on the workbench and just as I was turning away he took a metal hammer and just pounded the workbench as hard and as loud as he could.
