Winter rears it's ugly head Bullhead City

Well not the winters we are having back home, but it is uncomfortable today.

We will be in the 40's tonight and the daytime temperatures are in the low 60's.

The wind is blowing like hell. Our patio table is in pieces.

Below are pictures from a better time earlier last week.

Every golf coarse here has a variety of wildlife.

 

The walk to Davis Dam from the Riverside parking lot is 2 1/2 miles. It is a very pleasant hike.

The reservoir is low. Lake Mead is almost a river. I hear California is sucking mud.

 Yah! I took a selfi.

I am now a member of the Tri State Gun Range. Blaine and I have shot there 3 times now. Here I am cleaning my 45 on the patio table. This is the same table that was destroyed last night in a wind storm.

Veterans Celebration

Veterans Day is a big deal in Bullhead City and the surrounding area.

There are many veterans who Snowbird in this area.

Even a trapper came by from the Colorado River.

 

 

The fellow in the 61Ford lives on Riverside Dr. three blocks down. He was the one who told us about the parade and all the festivities that were going on. The Vietnam traveling wall is set up at the Tropicana in Laughlin. We will go over this afternoon to see it along with free Country music on the deck of the Colorado Bell.

                                           They haven't outlawed the Rat's yet.                                        

  

                                     Car vetts everywhere here. There is a big Vett club in the area.                                 

 

Local high school band.

                                                                        

What would a parade be without Shriners. In this case there was just one and as you can see, he was traveling around.

Very Patriotic with American flags everywhere. 

Elvis was also represented. He happened to be one of the few Patriotic Celebrities. Possibly one of a handful.

                                                                                

 These 2 sweet ladies gave me a cool baseball cap.

Proud to be an American!

 Halloween night. We left the next day for our winter stay in Arizona.

A typical morning around the dining table in Bullhead. 20 years ago it would be newspapers.

Leading up to Halloween

Visited another money trap Pumpkin Farm.

Hey! the kids loved it.

The kids rode the wheels off the train.

The reward at day's end.

Solstice Exchange about to happen

Paint us gone on the 1st of November. We are going back to Bullhead city.

Halloween will be our last day home for 4 months.

 

We will miss the grand kids dearly.

Things to do next SUMMER

I have never been on Table Rock. I had no idea how beautiful the view was.

So my challenge to myself and all my family in the area and outside of the area,

 ("Lets hike up to Table Rock next summer")

Chad and Brad did it this summer.Now I am getting stoked to go.

Last Garden Offering

Fall is in full swing. We have had a couple hard frosts.

The garden is barren except for one patch of Swiss Chard.

This stuff is incredibly hardy and can withstand freezing temperatures.

If you don't til it under, it will be growing in the spring. 

I have been chopping it up in the ninja shredder. I blend in egg whites and dried flake peppers and make Green Omelets. They are outstanding,

Fold it over on Salsa. And now we are eating like Kings.
