Friday January 12, 2007. Western Oklahoma and the panhandle of Texas are getting hammered with an ice storm, and will continue to do so for the next couple of days. I still had some honey-dos left to take care of, and Linda talked me into staying until early next week. The projects probably would've been allowed to slide, were it not for the ice storm. If the Hajjimobile was in better shape, I might've gone on anyway, but I don't think it would make the trip if I pushed it hard, and it needs to last another year or two. It has started snowing again this afternoon, and we are supposed to get another couple or more inches of snow. We may go XC skiing or snowshoeing tomorrow.
It was too cold for us "woosses" to go out snowshoeing or xc skiing. We drove to the place we were going to play, sat in the car, and opened the doors a couple of times, and decided it was waaay to cold for us. I'm getting to the point I really dislike winter.

Leaving Utah
The Hajjimobile and Northwing T2 glider
It has started snowing, and there is about 2 inches on the ground already. I finished the EagleFeather glider bag last nite, and have my glider on the Hajjimobile ready to head to Oklahoma. I still need to do some "honeydos" and put bike mounts on the top rack of the Hajjimobile, as I am taking both my solo bikes and the tandem (bicycle) as well as my NorthWing T2 glider with me to Oklahoma.
In case you are wondering about how I came up with the name of Hajjimobile for my car, it is because a Hajji is: "One who has made the Pilgrimage to Mecca", and the Hajjimobile has made the pilgrimage to one of HangGliding's Mecca's, namely, The Point of the Mountain, Utah. If I offend anyone with my car's name, I have two words for you: lighten up.
I'll park the tandem at Linda's sister's house, and take the solo bikes and my hang gliding harness and related paraphenalia with me in the truck. I hope to get back to riding at least every other day, and hopefully will be able to get some flight time occasionally in Florida while I am on the road, and in Oklahoma when the truck goes thru the shop for regular service. This is a photo I took this morning before I put the bike mounts and bike rack on.
