Rain, Snow and the Mustang

The above photo was taken at about 9:40 this morning as I was headed to the Flying J for our morning coffee/breakfast gathering.

It was almost completely gone an hour later. Today and tomorrow will be a respite from any precipitation in the area, but thunderstorms are forecast for Monday with the majority of the upcoming week to see rain and snow showers.

I have to pick up the Mustang Monday morning (yes, it's finally done, but it worked out better than expected cost-wise). Hopefully, I will be able to retrieve it from Gallup and get back home before the rains start. At least the Mustang has new tires, which will help.
