I sat in my chair, drank whiskey, and listened to music and played my bass most of the night.
Dug out some old funeral books, got emotional, and went to bed.
I am better now.....sorry for the derail Burnham!

I wonder how often people jam together over the internet, somehow.
I don't know the lag-time. People have gaming via internet that seems to work, I guess.

I think it would be difficult over the internet.
Anyway, I hope I did not piss off Burnham.......I was just joking around.

Not difficult at all, lots of people get together and play together via the internet.
You just need the gear and software.

Takes more than a drunk farmer to piss off Burnham.
Getting a bit of cabin fever with all that snow, are you, Jim?
Will some of that moisture stay in the ground and be a help in farming, or will it just all evaporate.
Just a lil' derail while we wait for Burnham's pictures.

Now a drunk farmer running a saw without wrapping their thumb around the handle bars might be a different story.

OK, here's some pics to start with. Plenty still to organize yet.
These are at Red Rock Canyon, a BLM site a little west of Las Vegas. Apparently it's one of the top five rock climbing areas in the US. Over 2000 identified routes. We camped here for just shy of a week, had some very nice hikes, slick rock wanderings, and canyon scrambles.

From RRC, we drove east into Arizona. These shots are from Petrified Forest NP. Certainly a "wow" place.
None of these pictures are of "displays". All in situ natural. I haven't given even the barest shade of a real impression of the scope...my skills as a photog fall way too short.
Only spent a day here, it's a small Park and the wind can be fierce out on those high desert plains where the altitude is over 4000 ft. It was a constant +20 mph, gusts to +30, so coolish. Not very cold temps, but that wind cuts, therefore the layers and wind coats we're wearing.
If you ever get the chance, don't pass this one by...I think for treefolk even more especially, it's a gem of a place. These trees were washed into a river, then were covered with silts over 2 million years ago. When the North and South American continents, Eurasia, and Africa all were one land mass. It boggles the mind.

I love when you show pictures from your trip.
Brings back memories of the places I've seen and whets my appetite to visit those I haven't.
Red Rock Canyon is nice.
I was there in 14 on my "honeymoon" trip.
Did you see any wild horses, or have they finished transplanting/killing them all?
Went to Petrified forest in 89.
Fantastic place. Do they still check your car when you leave, to see if you have stolen any rocks?

No physical check for petrified wood, just a question or two Stig. I suppose they must suspect Danes far more than the run of the mill visitor, don't you?? 
And we saw no wild horses or burros at RRC, but were informed they are still there.
Wonderful picture, btw. Nice looking ride, and very nice looking lady.
Seeing your Mustang reminded me...since RRC is less than an hour from LV, it was not uncommon at all to see fine examples of automobiles on the scenic loop road. Frankly, you couldn't swing a cat without hitting a rental top end Camaro or Mustang. Supercars like Maserati, Ferrari, Lamborghini were relatively few but seen more often than anywhere else I've ever been. One old Alfa Romeo Giulia in fine condition, a beautiful Lotus Elan, even one new F type Jaguar.
I felt somewhat like a life-list seeking birder, only different...much different
.
No other XKR, though.

.One reason I like to drive the triangle of the Grimsel, Furka and Susten passes in the Swiss Alps so much, apart from the fact that it is a challenging drive, is that the rich Swiss and Italians bring their cars and motorcycles there on weekends with good weather.
There is a lake at the top of Grimsel pass with a road side tavern, where one can sit outside, enjoy a drink and watch what comes by.
I know exactly what you mean about feeling like a bird watcher
Last time I was there, a guy really let his Nissan GTR rip up the Furka pass. Hearing that thing go through the gears was pure bliss.
