Went to a presentation in the Trilogy ballroom by the Gilbert 'water' team last Thursday. They presented what Gilbert was doing now and what the plans are to control and reduce water usage in the Gilbert community. It was very informative and we will participate in the programs they offer.
Trip Log
August 25, 2025
We are in the monsoon season so dust storms and rain are not uncommon. Today we had a haboob which is a sudden and intense dust storm. It was followed by some heavy rain.

Played 18 holes at Power Ranch (our Trilogy course) with Jeff. We played well and kept well hydrated. Our play tailed off a bit during the back nine as we got tired which seems to be happening sooner and sooner these days.

As you have noticed there are no pictures on the posts. It seems the connection between Flickr and the blog is broken and don't when or if ever it will be fixed.

I woke up a little before three and went across the street to a parking lot and away from the motel lights. The clouds had cleared but the moon was very bright which made all but the brightest stars hard to see.

When we got to our room we were totally impressed by its size, functionality and views. Sliding glass doors at the back of the room afforded a view of the mountains to the south east and access to a private patio which led to an elevate public area. We napped a bit before heading to dinner.

On Tuesday we attended a Trilogy coffee chat with JJ Spahn’s parents who live in Trilogy. They talked about his growing up and his (their) trip into the world of Professional golf. They were very interesting and down-to-earth.

Even with the record heat we have been keeping busy and active by walking, biking and going to the gym. Alesa has decided we need more shade in the back yard so we have been visiting nurseries and walking around them to get some ideas.

Alesa and I golfed with Jeff and Bailey today at our home course, Power Ranch at Trilogy. It was another great day of golfing and we were so happy that Bailey could join us. It was very hot (107) but we all stayed hydrated and drank a lot of water which is provided by the course.

During our recent road trip Alesa gathered rocks; some from the peninsula in Erie, some from Maine (GLS & Jasper Beach) and even one from Ministers Island in Canada. She had a plan to build a cairn or add to the waterfall by our pool.
