Midnight At The Oasis.........Yuma's version of Reno's Hot August Nights. Lottsa Classic Cars in town for the weekend......not as big as Reno's HAN; but, quite a few nice looking cars were showing off.
Had a slow leak on RZR tire so took it to my MC Shop to get it fixed. Dropped it off and "B" and I went looking for some of the old cars. Saw a few on the street, headed to the Mall in hopes that some of them might be there.........no luck. Close to casino so stopped there and I actually left with $35.00 of their money. Then we went to the Yuma Convention Center which is home to the car show. A lot more cars were doing their Show and Shine in the parking lot so we walked around and "B" took a few pictures. They were charging admission for entry into the stadium area so we didn't go in there. More happenings, booths and shows going on later this evening......plus they set it up for a Drive In Movie. By then we were close to the Cocopah casino so naturally we headed that way. They had an area of the parking lot roped off so we thought some of the cars might show up.........went in to "contribute" and I actually won another $15.00. When we left more cars were showing up so checked them out.
Getting later so we headed back to Old Town and feasted on our favorite clam chowder and split a grilled cheese sandwich. Still waiting for M/C shop to call and it was about 1600 so decided that we may as well travel to California and try our luck at the Q Casino. I left with an additional $18.00 in my pocket. I should do this more often.........quit when I'm a little ahead instead of continuing to gamble with visions of breaking the bank. Don't know what "B" did........win or lose?
Went back to the M/C shop about 1730.........hung around as they were still working on my tire. They finally drove it out of the shop and "B" headed for home. Big line at the shop with customers so while I was waiting the owner said...."Wayne, you're good to go, no charge". I thanked him and headed for the barn. When I dropped the RZR off I told the owner to go ahead and try it out...........there was an extra mile on the odometer when I got in so he probably took it for a little spin. Good trade off!
Warming up.........upper 70s today and maybe 80s for tomorrow and Sunday. We may have to think about heading North in a few weeks.
Later..........W&B
