Balloon Fest Day 2

First, a few more pics from Friday afternoon:

Several lighthouses on the island - this is one.  

Another bad selfie.  I gotta grow longer arms! 

Another great Jeep shot though.  

Thought we'd try the beach for the afternoon ascention... non event.  This brave guy was about the only one to show up.  

Seems I always take pics when I make dinner, and never when Wendy does.  Here's why.  It was actually pretty good, but I betcha can't guess what it is... 

 OK, on to Saturday.  Thought we'd try the beach again and get some over-the-water pics.  Worked out OK except the sun wanted to be in the wrong place.

Poor bugger couldn't afford a basket.

Catchin' a tow.  

 Then back to the golf course.

A few more people there today.  

When you're a balloon and you get old and can't hold your air, this is what happens. Good thing it's not that way with people - or maybe it is... 

Hot Hips belly dancers.  This was as close as I got.  I think I was leaking air, so that's probably a good thing.  

Cliff, this one's for you.  I got my smoked turkey leg, AND a glass of bacon lemonade.  Yup, you read that right.  I saved the leg for supper but savoured the lemonade right away.  

Back to the beach again for the afternoon ascention... which didn't happen again... they gotta start keeping the pilots out of the beer tent.  Took a walk along the canal though.  

Back to the grounds for the "Night Glow" event.  At least the pilots were sober enough to show up for this, safely tied to the ground.  Kinda like Nascar drivers skipping the race, but showing up to burn donuts in the parking lot.  Still, quite a spectacle.  

My apologies for the blurry photos, but freehand with no flash is tough for me.  I have no idea why THIS one's not blurry: total accident.  

I have some video as well - maybe if I get ambitious sometime I'll post some short clips.  Don't hold your breath though.  That's all for today - maybe some more balloon shots tomorrow!

Lake Havasu City - no words just pics this time

Nope, couldn't make it through without words.  This one's from the other night; I call it "Moon Over Mi-Dinner" (If you don't get the cheesy joke click here).  

Internet rescued!

The internet was kidnapped last weekend, and we just rescued it.  Were in Phoenix yesterday for an appointment so we stopped at T-Mobile and got a new and improved SIM card.  Apparently that nice lady in Henderson sold us some "old stock" when we passed through there.  We'll see.

Haven't been doing too much the past few days anyway, so you haven't missed anything.  A little shoppin', a little drivin', a little fixin', and as I said a trip to Phoenix yesterday.  Didn't take many pics but here they are:

Took a little cruise in the Bouse Hills.  

This is on the way to Alamo Lake.  I'm so jealous of this guy  - I WANT THIS SPOT NEXT TIME!

We've been invaded by 3 paragliders and an ultralite.  These guys are up a couple times a day.  Looks like fun, and no need for 4WD!  

The "before" picture.  See if you can spot the difference between this and the next one.  

"After".  Can you guess?  That's the $675 question... 

New Dutch Oven Dinner: Corned beef and cabbage!  

More food pics: Breakfast this morning - Sausage ready for the gravy to be added, and biscuits ready for the oven.  

Biscuits about half cooked... (the biscuits are the ones on the right)

Biscuits and grave for breakfast.  Yeah, the gravy's a little thick, so more like biscuits and sausage gumbo.  Was pretty good though.  Honest, she's smiling... she was just looking into the sun!  

Not much to show for a week, eh?  Also got the charge line run on the motorhome and the jeep tow lights working, but didn't take any pics of that.  Should have some more interesting stuff over the next week, I hope.  Take care everyone!
