Around freezing at sunrise, about 22 degrees Celsius in the afternoon, Blue Skies forever....
Fall weather and landscape

Starting tomorrow it will cool off, winter is coming. But I won't be here, I will be in Europe (Holland from November 23, and Greece from December 28).
My Dell laptop had problems (not charging and real slow with the power cable plugged in) I had the power brick tested at Best Buy in Flagstaff, it was not functioning normal.
I ordered a replacement from Dell, it came in yesterday and the problems are solved. From now one I will always use a power surge protector!

It was -2 degrees Celsius this morning and 22 Celsius in the afternoon. Here is the video I made on Thursday at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. No flying then, they did fly on Friday.

Oct 10: Albuquerque

Yesterday I drove to Albuquerque in New Mexico to visit my friends Jose & Gerard.
I left Flagstaf at 07.30 and arrived in Albuquerque at 14.30 Mountain time.

This morning we got up at at 04.30 to go to the Balloon Fiesta. After getting lost ( I was not driving) we accidentally arrived at the best parking lot at the best time.
There was too much wind and blowing the wrong direction (towards the Navajo reservation where they are not allowed to land for the balloons to go up in the air...
But this is what we saw on the ground.

Here a video that I made of the 2002 Red Rock Balloon Rally in Gallup.

and the Parade through Downtown Gallup.

Yesterday I flew from Vancouver to Denver and another plane to Flagstaff. On the plane to Flagstaff a was friend of Julie, she gave me a ride to Groome Transportation where I had parked my car since September 3. Warm weather and no problem starting my car, I was home at 20.30.

About 5 degrees Celsius this morning, but now it is 18 degrees.
The laptop I had with me for the past month, starting to have a power problem the last 2 weeks: would not charge the battery and everything worked at less than half speed.
I changed the wall cable this morning and it charged! I am at the Bookman store this morning and it has charged 100%, and running at normal speed.
