The Commander who rules the know universe woke up this morning uncertain about where to go. As usual her solution was to toss the decision to Kadizzle. Kadizzle said he wanted to go back up to Lake Roosevelt with the bums. At first this seemed like what was going to happen, but now after The Commander consulted our friends down toward Tuscon it looks like we will head that way. There may be some good motorcycle trails there. Yesterday Kadizzle set out to find some local off road trails. The search proved disappointed. Kadizzle ended up traveling an endless sandy wash. When he thought it might get better he stopped to ask two quad guys what the rest of the trail was like. They explained it went on for nine miles just like it is. Kadizzle gave up and headed back. Riding a cycle in one foot of loose gravel and sand is taxing and no fun.
During the search for a place to ride Kadizzle came across some kind of nut harvesting crew. If a picture can be found it will be included. It was an interesting device. Each man drove a piece of equipment to one side of the tree to be harvested. Two halves of a catchment device were brought together and one of the machines shook the hell out of the tree. Instantly the appearance of the tree changed and all the nuts fell onto the harvester. Automation in food harvesting is incredible. There are even machines that pick grapes now.
