Drove Up To Glamis Today.............



to pick up some 2011 Glamis Thanksgiving sweatshirts. Dang, they were nearly sold out; but, we managed to find a couple that filled the bill. Expensive sweatshirts.......$90.00 for an annual pass to the dunes (hope to use it a lot more before we leave Yuma), half a tank of gas and $52.00 + tax for the shirts. Always pisses me off when they charge sales tax..........no receipt, cash sale so I'm sure it goes into the vendors pocket. Oh well..........

Becky took a bunch of pictures which she will probably post on her Blog.......I snapped a few and here they are. Never did see any scantily clad Glamis Babes; but, did see some "not to bad lookers". Guess the "Old Days" of glamorous babes and nudity are long gone! Bummer.

Drove around a bit; but, didn't spend a lot of time there. Wind was picking up and sand started to blow so we headed back to Yuma kinda early. On the way back we turned on the GPSr and saw that we could do some geocaching on the way back. I think we picked up 19 or 20 of the easier ones........the ones we didn't have to walk more than a couple of hundred feet from the road. Anyway, we quit before the road did, headed back to the highway and had a late lunch/early dinner at the Mad Greek restaurant. They usually have pretty good soup and Saturday is beef barley soup........it's normally very good; but, in this batch I was constantly asking.........."WHERE'S THE BEEF???" Told the waitress it wasn't up to par and she said she'd tell the cook. I'll give them another chance before I write off the beef barley soup.

Yesterday, we finally ventured out on Black Friday........I was kinda looking for a new laptop...........still too crowded even in the afternoon so we didn't spend much time shopping. After we got home I started browsing the internet and ended up ordering a new laptop from Toshiba. My old one is between 4-5 years old so it was about time and it's given me some pretty good service.

The guy arrived to install cable internet; but, couldn't get it done on Friday. The lot required a cable to be run from the box to our electric box so another crew will come in next week to install that..........then maybe we'll have cable internet in another 10 days or so. I'm sure it will be worth the wait...........this Sprint air card kinda sucks in this area. Just barely better than nothing.

That's about it for now. W&B
