Apparently Phoenix doesn’t get a lot of rain. That’s what the locals say. They’re supposed to get 5 inches this week – about as much as they got all of last year! Impressive statistic, but I’m from Vancouver, Canada. These grey skies and blustery winds are not so unusual! And it’s warm too.
Unfortunately they did have to close the airport, so I’ll be spending an unexpected day in friendly Phoenix!
 

The WUC meeting in Tucson was a great success, by the way. I met a lot of great characters, and the presentation on Tube-Lube was very well received – I’ll thank my audience for being so receptive!
We enjoyed a demonstration of Tucson Electric’s Boomer-Dawg winch and had a look at San Diego Gas & Electric’s cable pulling trailer under clear afternoon skies. I’m glad they were able to bring it out to Tucson. The evening “table talk” with Pacific Utilities went well, too!
Hopefully, the storm will blow through tonight and I’ll be on my way home tomorrow. See you next week!
