OK..

 

... l-a-h-o-m-a.  Yeah, yeah, from the musical Oklahoma... blah, blah. 

No bonus points.  This one is a re-run, and not like everything on TV these days.  But, I digress.

Before we left Wichita this morning, I checked local weather: 0% chance of precip along our route.  This will surprise no one - we got rained on 3 different times.

Leaving Kansas, and rolling into Oklahoma...


You are immediately greeted with a road surface that is total crap.  And that's a bit of an insult to crap.  Rolling south, we had a few minutes of actual sunshine...


It was a refreshing change.  Didn't last long...


And then spitty rain on and off.  We had our phones on while going through Oklahoma City; yes, responsibly... Joan running through the bluetooth in the Equinox and I had my Airpods in.  The lanes change enough that you have to move right or left to stay on the road you intend as you go through OKC; it's helpful for me to let Joan know what's going on ahead and her being able to tell me when it is safe to change lanes (or "opening a lane" for me).

Rufus isn't a lot of help as the navigator, but he is a good stress reliever as he spends most of the time on my lap.  You can't see him in this photo, but he is on my lap.  Really.

This will probably be the last day of reasonably cool weather between here and home.  About half way there, and just getting to the Texas border.  From here on, it will be a LOT of traffic congestion until we get to San Antonio.  I'm thinking we will bust it up into two more days.

We are not on a tight schedule... just know that we have a lot to get done once home, and that will be on a schedule.  The pods to ship our stuff to Arizona have been scheduled, both for delivery and pickup.  This moving stuff is happening.

The boy got to have some walking time when we got down...


He has had to stay inside the motorhome since we left South Dakota, thanks to Mother Nature.  He appreciates the effort his people make for him.
