Am still in Arizona, my stay here is coming to an end in a few days.

Have been postponing writing this blog till after visiting Bike Week (motorcycle) at West World of Scottsdale Az.

Attended in the morning on opening day, 2nd Apr, interesting event if you are interested in all things motorcycles, though the good stuff (shows and bands) happens in the evening and more of it in the weekend. Wow, saw a bike for $115K and lots ~$40K bikes. Enjoyed looking at 3-wheel motorcycles; though I did not see the Spider (3-wheeler, 2 in the front, like mine).

Also, have been very busy, scanning and restoring photos, but mostly spending lots of time to publish the Family Tree. If you are curios, goto: (top, right) My Family Tree; however, it wont have much meaning unless you are family. This is a summary:

Total so far, 242 Rouel relatives:

2 Parents, 4 Brothers, 8 sisters, 39 1st cousins, ascendants: 39 1st cousins, once removed (children of granduncles & grandaunts), 2 grandfathers, 2 grandmothers, 4 great grandfathers, 4 great grandmothers, 5 uncles, 9 aunts, 6 granduncles, 8 grandaunts, 14 nephews, 13 nieces, 8 grandnephews, 7 grandnieces, descendants: 45 1st cousins once removed (children of 1st cousins), descendants: 23 1st cousins 2nd removed (grandchildren of 1st cousins).

On Sun (30 Mar) had a fun day. Rode the scooter from Phoenix to Tucson Az, took 3 hours, ouch, it hurts your butt to sit on the scooter that long (165 mi). So, why Tucson? went to visit Marywayne. Marywayne and I used to work together at Lockheed Martin. She left Lockheed (after 22 yrs) about a year before I retired. She is doing great, and has a most excellent home in Tucson, see photo.

From above, in riding the scooter to Tucson, I drove at 65 to 70 mph, and got 37 mi./gal. On the way back to Phoenix, I drove at 60 to 65 mph, and got 54 mi./gal. I must try that with the RV, as Sandra can testify, I make the RV move on the highways. These days, maybe slowing down is good (and cheaper) behavior.

On or about 4th Apr, will be off to Lake Havasu, Az. About half the lake is in California, and is about 210 mi. north west of my current location.
