      Cooler again last night was 38F at 5 am and did not warm up much when the sun came out, but next to no wind. Went outside to go for a walkabout, but decided nope, colder than I like maybe later. So took a nice early morning drive about town and the desert here.

looking west sunrise on the mountains , nice

as the sun was rising to the east of us

        Ken and Shirley had not been to Silly Al's yet this year and are going with Tom and Deb , asked if we we would like to join them. Heck ya!  Love their amazing Pizza. This will be our 3rd visit this winter but do love their excellent Pizza.
     So we headed out for an early 11:30 am lunch. Nice no crowds we have our choice of tables , a Nice quiet one in the corner near the end of the bar.

       Our waitress (Marcia) was right there (the bar tender) took our orders and drinks were there right away, followed by our side salad to share, Beer only $2;50 for a large glass.

a nice large side salad we enjoyed to start only $3:75

     Marcia took our picture after serving our of food.

another awesome meat Lover's Pizza,
with Tomatoes on top leftovers of course.

     After here Suzie and I drove down to the NEW K&B Tools on Main street and bought a new lawn chair for me. My 29 year old chair finally decided to pack it in and I found a reasonable comfortable one that I liked to replace it. Forgot to take a picture of it will do that tomorrow if I remember.
     Then back home still a cool north west wind even thought it was 69F, I took a short drive about here catch a few pictures of the Saguaros that I love in this area.

     Back home puttered around for a bit, took some parts off my old chair and stored our Weber Q. Not needed tonight for supper and we plan to leave here Friday morning after our welding repair if all goes well.
     I found a sunny spot in front of our coach out of the wind and enjoyed my new chair and right back into my page turner once again. loving these skies and  fluffy clouds. The sun is warm the wind is cold, just the way the desert is, Sure beats what they are having back home, and the scenery we have here is what we love.
     If we could find a spot out of the wind and in the sun it would be perfect for happy hour, But no luck for 6 people to sit out comfortably. So Tom and Deb invited inside again to their spacious coach for some lively conversation. Always some information and tips to share and we always enjoy these social times when we can.

Happy hour inside out of the cool wind in their Stinger B

       Shortly after 5:30 (a longer Happy hour) because we all had a large lunch, we headed on home, to relax for the evening inside.

caught another nice sunset

         Supposed to be cooler tonight then and soon start to warm up again, We love the temperatures and warm sunny days, are mostly perfect, if we can stay out of the wind, And usually do.
       Another fun desert day here with friends and Silly Al's Pizza. Don;t think it gets to much better than this for us at least.
      Thanks for dropping on by.

    Another good sleep and getting warmer overnight great for sleeping with a window open and no heat on. About 48F at 5 am and warming nicely as the sunrise shortly after 7 am. With no wind it was a good morning for a nice walkabout, got my first 3 miles in shortly after 8 am.
     Then I headed into town to top up our 5 gallon RO water jug only $1;25 for 5 gallons of good drinking water.

these water fill stations all over town

sunrise reflecting on the mountains in the west

      Now our light tasty lunch sure did the trick. And these so tasty, mineola oranges we love are awesome.

yup a wonderful lunch

      After lunch we had some visitors Deb and Riley fellow bloggers and full timers (their blog is here  ON A  LONG AND LONESOME HIGHWAY) we have known for a while, so nice that they stopped on by.

now this is good way to enjoy the desert here In the southwest

           Today we had we decided to go the Silly Al's in town. Our second time this year for us and the best pizza we have ever had. and the saying goes "if you have not been to Silly Al's you have not been to Quartzsite. " Their excellent made to order hand stretched pizza is  just the way I used to make in my restaurant. Sure is worth the stop and wait for a great pizza!

     We arrived at 3:40 pm and George was saving a parking spot for us right in front of the door. Thanks George ! We wanted a table for 12  but 3 tables for 4 was quicker and works just as well. Lotsa noise so our smaller tables worked well.

our table Deb, Tom, me and Suzie

Bill , Patsy,  Ken, Pat and  Kim

        Service was pretty good considering how busy they were, we got our drinks quickly our salad later then our wonderful pizza. Time to chat with Tom and Deb and enjoy some very tasty pizza.

A nice walkabout for a while, puttered around for a while then packed up our satellite dish, hooked up the car and head on out to Quartzsite Arizona, where we will hang out there for a while. We always enjoy this area as well as the many areas we  return to.

       The by the proving grounds for the US Army we have pasted by many times and you will as well you travel this road.

          Now continuing up 95 to Quartzsite after the proving grounds.

          Heading it to Q and the Big tent is almost ready to go for Jan 19th when all hell brakes loose here.

        First stop was to top up our propane. It has been almost 6 weeks and we were just about empty. That taken care of we found a wonderful sunny spot in the desert.  Set up blocking the light north wind and it was very hot in the sun, yup this is good.

what a nice quiet spot we have
and no road noise at all

so quiet and peaceful here

no close neighbours either 

now to enjoy this awesome weather

Got here at 4:40 and as usual the place is packed,
but we did get a table for 2 right away

    Service was excellent, drinks and food order taken right away, and about 30 minutes for our amazing pizza have not had many better than here except when I made them in my restaurant.

the guys in the Kitchen do an amazing job
with these pizzas

     While we were waiting i whipped outside to grab a sunset shot. Before I missed it.

another nice sunset from Silly Al's

       Then our pizza arrived and was done to perfection,. Only a medium meat lovers but we could not eat out all so guess we have more leftovers to take care of, No  problem makes for a tasty lunch.

      Now back home to kick back finish this posting and soon call it a night.
Nothing quite like some quiet desert time to enjoy these wide open spaces.
