The weirdest thing happened to me at the Phoenix airport on Friday. I was at the gate, waiting to start boarding the plane to Albuquerque. I am hanging out, knitting on some socks, waiting.... Well, the plane that we will be boarding finally lands and the passengers get off of the plane. I look up and I see my aunt from Florida getting off of the plane. Now, how freaky is that? I ran over, gave her a big hug and we chatted for a bit... I will be seeing her in a couple of days when I go back to Florida and visit the relatives... Too weird...
Now, for the WIP's:
Here are the socks I am working on called the Sixth Sense Socks. I am knitting them with Opal Silk... They are turning out really nice so far, and they are a pretty easy pattern to play with while doing really dull things like waiting in an airport for a plane, or sitting in that plane on a runway while they are trying to get the "push back cart" disconnected from the nose of the plane. (Took them 45 mins... In Phoenix... In the heat of the day... with NO AIR circulating because the engines were turned off.... EWWW!)
The next pic is blurry, but you can see, this is the start of the mosiac socks from Sensational Knitted Socks by Charlene Schurch... Too persnickity, but fun to play with...The trip to Phoenix was very productive...
Hubby and I are taking the motorcycles out again today to ride around with no particular place to go... We are starting at Flying Star for breakfast/lunch, then ride till it gets too windy to ride. Yesterday, we went to the car show here in Rio Rancho, then down to Thunderbird Harley-Davidson . After that, we hit the NE Heights, tooled around and checked out the buffalo down by the casino and headed through downtown Bernalillo then home... There was some kind of historic parade going on with horsies and wagons... Pretty cool. Today, we hit Flying Star, headed out to Madrid, listened to a guitar player sing "Ring of Fire", toured around the museum then headed home (stopping at El Pinto on the way for din-din). We have put over 300 miles on our bikes in the past 2 days and boy do I have a sore butt... I mean SORE... REALLY FREAKING SORE!!! I have discovered a couple of facts about motorcycles... First, the more you ride, the more confident you get. Second, Enchantment in the teeth is a bitch... Third, you make a pretty good headwind doing 60 mph, combine that with a 30 mph cross wind and it is a bear... Fourth, I really can't wait for Enchantment season to be over... I am also discovering I need a gel pad for my boney butt...
Time to turn on the TV and watch the F1 race I taped from this am... Last night, we hung out and watched the Cup race... We were also listening to the in-car radio of one of my favorite drivers, Kevin Harvick... He is a hoot on the radio... During various parts of the race you would hear him key the mic and start singing "The Chicken Dance"... ROTFLMAO!!! He won the race, which was really super cool... Wish I could have been there...
