After a short walkabout and drive into town to dispose of our garbage we discussed our travel plans this morning and our 2 months left this winter, And these are once again written in chalk and can be changed at a drop of a hat.
We had thought about going to the Yuma proving Grounds Open house today for their 75th anniversary, But seeing as it an hours drive each way, and the expected crowds we decided, too far and the large crowds are not for us. As much as we wanted to go we both decided, maybe not.
After a light lunch I took a drive down the road, stopped at Silly Al's to pick up a t-shirt for a friend, ran into Ken and Shirley there, and chatted for a bit then stopped in once again beside Loves to check out all these older cars that are for sale. About the same every year for the last 10 or so. Older cars not in very good shape and the prices are hard to swallow, most are in around $20,000.00 plus. No wonder they are still there. really, does he do any business at all?
 |
| only $18.000.00 |
 |
| this is nice but not near show quality, $30,000.00 |
 |
| this one cheap only $14,000.00 |
 |
| looks cool but not in great shape |
Now to relax in the afternoon shade under our awning with the sunscreen. Only 78F but need to be out of this very intense sun. Too cool and windy on the other side in the shade and too hot in the sun. More tough decisions, lol..
 |
Use these hooks for our sunshade
works great Suzie can
put it up and take it down herself |
 |
| blocks the sun and can still see through it |
 |
| our nearest neighbor |

| no one in sight right off our patio |
After a couple of quiet hours enjoying our e-readers we decided today was the was day to have another Silly Al's Pizza. Probably our last one this winter. Decided on a takeout, so gave them a call and ordered our favourite, medium meat lover's with mushroom. Ready n 20 minutes.
 |
| they do make amazing pizza |
Now back home and I added tomatoes on the whole pizza and olives on my half.
 |
| this was excellent as usual and still 4 pieces left over |
After supper we did manage to get a bit of a sunset, with some color, not great but better than no exciting sunset tonight.

this is a picture I took yesterday of the Good Year blimp

Just another great desert day here enjoying homedirt for now,
Nice to have you stop by and check us out, hope you had a great day as well.
Want to learn more about Membership camping
at Rock Glen Family Resort ?
Where have we been this winter ?
I would guess he doesn't really *want* to sell those cars. Maybe if someone happens in and doesn't care about market value or know any better.
ReplyDeleteThanks what I am thinking as well Bill, but his lots is open pretty well everyday., the back of the lot looks like a junkyard
DeleteI would agree with Bill, maybe doesn't really want to sell them but for the right price he'll part with one.
ReplyDeleteThe pizza looked fantastic.
Always nice to relax and get in some good reading time. I agree with the 'too cool in the shade, too hot in the sun' statement. We're finding the same thing, and I'm going to have to look into a sun shade when we head down to Yuma.
Glad you and Suzie had such a fantastic day!!! Enjoy Dome Rock.
Love Silly Al's Pizza almost as god as i used to make in my restaurant.
DeleteIn Yuma at the Arizona MarketPlace you will find Shade Pro with some very nice sunshades easy to use on your electric awning.
I'd never heard of the proving grounds so read about it - sounds like a big deal for the military.
ReplyDeleteThe Proving grounds is a real large area between here and Yuma, this anniversary would have been a real big deal.
DeleteKen said thanks for the pictures on the slides and shade. We'll stop by the RV vendor and see what they've got after the climb. We saw them taking in port potties and there were tons! They were obviously expecting a huge turnout! Love Silly Al's! Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteYour welcome it just works so easy for us an reasonable too.
DeleteSilly al's is a fun tasty place to go. see you guys soon, enjoy the view from the top by the flag.
Silly Als pizza is the BEST in the West!! Isn't it nice without all the traffic and people??
ReplyDeleteYou are so right on both counts, love their pizza and when the large crowds are gone from the area.
DeleteGood choice on not going to the YPG yesterday if you don't like the crowds. We turned off the 95 at a quarter to 10 and did not enter until 11:30. It was a parking lot all the way down the road. Interesting seeing all the machines.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update Peter was pretty sure it would be a zoo, Glad we stayed home. Do you have any pictures to share of that event?
DeleteYou've had another awesome day and finishing it off with relaxing, Silly Al's pizza and the sunset.
ReplyDeleteThese days are hard to take but someone has to do it so we will!!
It was a perfect day, just the kind we love. We have lots of practice with the lifestyle. no complaints here at all.
DeleteHi guys, Nice spot you have there. That shade looks pretty awesome. Did you get it in Quartzsite? How much was it?
ReplyDeleteWe bought this shade at K&B input 4 years ago 6 X 9 ft about 20 bucks then the hooks and slide ins for about another 10 bucks works perfect on our manual awning, because it is so low to the ground.
DeleteThanks.
DeleteWell, I guess we'll have to make a pizza soon! The sunshade sure does the trick!
ReplyDeleteMaking pizza is always good but with Sill Al's right here just had to do it.
DeleteThis sunshade works easier for us than the large one we had. And really does the trick.
Enjoy the sun, while you enjoy your sun-shade. Not a better pizza around then Silly Al's ... but then he is about the only one around :) Let us know where you decide to stop next.
ReplyDeleteWe are enjoy the warming sun in the shade. When silly Al's is here no need for another pizza place, it would be very difficult to do better than them. The plan right now ins north a but for membership park but never know until we get there.
DeleteMay have to invest in one of those shade. Looks easy to install and do the job.
ReplyDeleteI guess everyone has cleared out of Q and a great place to just enjoy now.
The sunshade sure comes in handy here in the southwest.
DeletePretty quiet now, just the way we like it.
