Well, summer is really here

Well, it almost a week since the 4th and I am just getting to posting this. Anyway I got up on Saturday and got my inflatable kayak out just in case I decided to hang out at the river.

I actually wanted to go into Taos and hit the farmers market. So I was developing a plan and that is always a good thing. The problem here being, that I should of had that plan in the works, the night before or so. Okay, so my planning skills are suffering a little but lets not dwell on that at this point.

So here is what I decided to do...

1. I was going to inflate the kayak and put in the ole buckboard and head down to Pilar and have coffee at the Pilar Yacht Club.
2. Then head up to Taos and hit the Farmers Market before...
3. Going to the parade in Arroyo Seco.
4. Followed by a little kayaking on the Rio Grande

Not happening as I was asked if I could help Rico by doing shuttling for the river guides. That was so he could go do all those wonderful things I planned on doing. I shuttled and Rico and this three kids had a great time at the Arroyo Seco Parade. Right on.

I never even got to inflate the kayak as I had to head down to Pilar ASAP.

Okay here it is Friday again and I now have the Kayak blown up and ready for the week-end. But here is my dilemma, the Taos Pueblo Pow Wow is this week-end, as is the Taos Mountain Motorcycle Rally and Music Festival (now there is a mouthful), the Taos Farmers Market, and the Taos Music Festival up at the Ski Valley.

So much to do and such little time. Of course, all my Taos friends are quite aware of all this as they are all somehow part of what is going so whatever I decide to do I am sure to see someone I know.

Looks like the Kayak and the dog are just going to have to stay home while I go and check out the Taos scene. I am sure there will be a number of other things going on but what I just mentioned is more than enough. And of course I just found out that there is also a Carson Community Meeting at 3 on Saturday (of cource there is).

There you have it, my latest ramblings from the desert on the West Rim of Taos.
