LAKE HAVASU

YESTERDAY WE WERE IN LAKE HAVASU TO MEET THE HUNTERS AT JOE AND ROSEMARY’S HOUSE. WE’RE THE JENGA CROWD FROM THE MOUNTAIN. WE ENJOYED  A NICE SUMMER AFTERNOON (SUNNY & 80) ON THE PATIO, COMPLETE WITH SNACKS, ADULT BEVERAGES, AND OF COURSE SEVERAL GAMES OF JENGA.

DURING THE VISIT HUNTER ASKED WHY WE HADN’T POSTED ANYTHING ON THE BLOG? HE’S RIGHT, IT’S BEEN TWO WEEKS.

LET’S SEE, WHAT HAVE I BEEN UP TO THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS? WE SCHEDULLED A MOTORCYCLE RIDE TWICE WITH DAWN AND COLE TO SEE IF THE SCOOTER COULD KEEP UP WITH A HARLEY AND BOTH DAYS, HIGH WINDS CAUSED US TO CANCEL AND RESCHEDULE.  IN FACT, YESTERDAY’S TRIP TO LAKE HAVASU WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OUR FIRST OVERNIGHT SCOOTER TRIP AND DUE TO WIND IN THE FORCAST WE TOOK THE CAR INSTEAD.

SEEMS LIKE THE WIND BLOWS ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY WHEN MARY IS OFF WORK, AND THEN ON WEDNESDAY THE WIND DIES DOWN AND I HEAD OUT SCOOTER RIDING BY MYSELF. WE MAY NOT GET ANY SNOW, BUT WE DO HAVE SEVERAL WINDY DAYS A MONTH, AND BY WINDY I MEAN 20 – 25 MPH. I ALWAYS SAY TO THE COMPLAINING SNOWBIRDS, “YA, IT’S WINDY, BUT YOU DON’T HAVE TO SHOVEL THE WIND!”

I LOVE TO RIDE THE SCOOTER UP TO THE LAUGHLIN STRIP AND WALK AROUND THE CASINOS, AND ALONG THE RIVER WALK. IT’S A GREAT WAY TO GET YOUR 10,000 STEPS A DAY. LAST WEEK-END WAS THE POLARIS RZR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP RACES. REMINDED ME OF LAURA AND BARRY’S RAZOR, ONLY THESE RACING MACHINES HAVE AIRPLANE MOTORS I THINK, AND THERE WERE 100’S OF THEM. SOMETIMES THE BELLE HAS MUSIC OUTSIDE ON THE RIVERWALK, AND I LOVE TO WATCH THE BULLHEAD AIRPORT ACROSS THE RIVER FROM THE CASINOS AS THE NAVY HAS 14 PLANES IN FROM PENSECOLA, FL TO TEACH NEW NAVY PILOTS FOR THREE MONTHS.  THEY DO TOUCH AND GOES FROM SUN UP TO SUNDOWN. THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING GOING ON, CHILI COOK-OFFS, OLD CAR SHOWS, MUSIC, HOME AND GARDEN SHOW, AND ON AND ON.

ONCE AGAIN I’LL TRY TO SLIP MY CAMERA INTO MY POCKET AND DO A BETTER JOB ON BLOGGING.

   OF COURSE I’M BUSY PLAYING POKER THREE NIGHTS A WEEK,  I’VE GOT MY PLANTS AND FLOWERS TO LOOK AFTER, MY CATS TO LOOK AFTER, AND I SPEND A LOT OF TIME SITTING ON THE PORCH READING MY KINDLE OR WATCHING DIRECT TV.
