Nasty Weather In Store For Us Snowbirds..............

as the week progresses.............forecast for Wednesday through Friday calls for a high temperature of 59 degrees with lows dropping to 40 and maybe even less!!!!!

Bummer! Doncha just feel sorry for us? Plus the wind is supposed to pick up tomorrow too.

Sort of a nothing day today except a trip to Fry's for some grub and also stopped at Jim and Linda's since the Old Guy just had a BD. Nuvi dinged as we passed one cache that Jim had placed so we grabbed that one for the day. Out to the Texas Roadhouse for BD dinner for Jim and then "B" and I headed for the casino since it was only a couple of miles away and "B" was having withdrawals. She contributed $10.00 and I was about broke when the machine I was playing spit out a "mystery pay out"..........I'm not sure what happened but I suddenly had $86.00 in the credit department. I promptly cashed it in and we left.

On the way home we ran into a bunch of Sheriff cars blocking the main road.........didn't know what was going on until we saw a parade of vehicles coming up the road. They were all lighted up and decorated............we had seen a schedule in the newspaper where the Parade of Lights was being held but didn't pay much attention to it. Now I know what it's all about..........only small vehicles are allowed in the parade such as dune buggies, Rhinos, Polaris Razors, sand rails and a few vintage "hot rods" and some jeeps. Mostly off-road vehicles. There was probably 25 or 30 in the parade and they didn't delay us too long. Reminded me of the annual Christmas Boats that tour the Columbia River near Portland every Christmas.

That was the end of our day and we came on home. Will probably be busy all day tomorrow getting ready for the cold spell and nearly hurricane force winds that are forecast.

Later. W&B
