Sunday cooler, very windy and even some rain...

Where are we today
clic on a pic to enlarge it
          Much warmer last night after a very windy one. 50f at 5 am and warmed up nicely by 7:30 when the sun came out, but only got to 64f today. But before noon the winds picked up pretty major steady at 25 mph and gusts to 45 mph with some dust in the distance.
           We did enjoy some outside reading sheltered from the wind and about 4 o'clock we began to have a bit of rain. Not hard rains just enough to keep the dust down.
          Sure glad we were not on the highways today I-10 was very heavy traffic whenever I drove into town the lineups coming off the highway backed up all the way down the ramps. Most coming into town for fuel. They were lined up at all the gas stations in town. Cheapest fuel this side of California.
you have to go to Silly Al's for their Pizza
it is excellent
a bit of dust over yonder
this afternoon
even a faint rainbow
after a bit
1/2 inch rain, drops 1/2 inch apart 
kinda not so nice
        Well with the high winds and rain was not going to fire up our Weber Q. So whipped up a salad and cooked some of our Turkey Garlic sausage in the fry pan, that we brought from home and added the leftover sauerkraut from our ribs the other night.
tasty
       In all our 10 years coming here we can count on one hand all the times it has rained here. Let's hope this is not the trend for this winter. It will be cool for the next while but as long as the sun is shining and we can stay out of the wind it feels wonderful.
       And the addition of our 2nd solar panel sure does make a big difference. We now have 230 watts of power and even overcast for a while our batteries did get a full charge today.
      Glad that y'all took the time to stop by.
Where have we been this Winter

  5. Oh yummy pizza at Al's.
    We were at the Q during a terrible rain storm. What a mess, but it didn't last long. The sun came out, and it dried up very quickly.

    1. It didn't last long here either, it will dry up and be dusty again, just the way we like it.

  6. We were recipients of some rain last evening. It was enough to wet the pavement.

    The wind was not an issue because we were glued to our TV set watching one of the best ever CFL Grey Cup games.

  8. We had spatterings of rain here also in Bullhead City but it was still around 62F. The sun would make a huge difference if it came out. The rainbowwas a nice touch as well here.

  9. Love Silly Al's. We had some of that wind and rain last night. I wish you had kept it closer to you than sending it in our direction. :)

  11. Rain is rare in Q but strong winds do happen quite often. December and January can get quite cold there too.
