As I REHAB with my "gimped" left arm...a few images of The Hood...

We are patiently waiting now for the MONSOON rains of the season to come...because it is very HOT and DRY here now!

Such a beautiful backdrop for your home. :1:  Some people down here hate the monsoons, but we love it!

What a beautiful place! Only downside is that it must make you feel even worse when you're unable to ride . . . 

Hope your rehab proceeds uneventfully!

Yes, with all the HOT & DRY conditions now in the state...we need the MONSOONS to start sooner rather than later!! :1:

Thanks cookiemech!  Surgery was May 18th...almost a month since I have ridden...

Hopefully will be back in the saddle again by August, just in time for the NM State Guzzi Rally in Datil!!

Glad to hear you're making progress JJ!

Are there fire bans now in effect there?

Are the "monsoons" in Sedona different than they are in the valley? I remember the monsoons happening in like August, not this early in June, and in the valley (Phx) it was rarely more than humid air with a dust storm now and then, rarely any real rain. Even a little bit of humidity with 100-deg temps made life miserable.

Yes...The Verde Valley gets about 19+ inches of rain per year...the Valley gets 4+ inches per year, if they are lucky!!   This photo taken this morning...MONSOON season is coming to northern AZ soon!
