| For the last few of years Johnny (Vega is his last name) has had shirts made for everyone in his "party". All custom made with his and Joel's rigs..places they go. His "home" and I love 2020 in red, white and blue! Very special! |
Aaron got through his 3 days of online schooling just fine. I feel for the little ones having to do this. If Walmart, Lowe's, Home Depot and grocery store workers have been working this whole time, why not teachers? Done.
The race was on Friday with the different classes leaving Pahrump, NV at different times. They end in the town of Dayton, NV over 500 miles in the day.

Ken got home Saturday morning just about 1000, leaving the toy hauler in Silver Springs and just bringing home the Dodge.
 |
| Set up in the desert, waiting for the race to come through! |
 |
| Lots of $$$ in toys! |
 |
| See the low flying helicopter..some rigs have them to tell them what's in front of them. That way they know how fast they can go! |
 |
| He went REALLY FAST! |
 |
| I'm guessing that's who sponsors this truck! Woohoo! |
Adam and Erin were coming for the night on their way to Yellowstone, so we were looking forward to seeing them. They arrived just about 1330 and Adam headed straight for the fridge and the sandwich i had made him. LOL..I quickly made one for Erin as I wasn't sure what she wanted on hers. We enjoyed chit chatting for awhile.
Later in the afternoon, Erin, Adam and Aaron headed out on the quads. It was Erin's first time riding/driving one and she really enjoyed it.

| Pretty close to the action! |

| Adam taking Erin around the property... |

 |
| Off they go! Nice to have BLM so close! |
After they got back Ken got started on the Papa Burgers and I had the fries and onion rings going. It was a delicious dinner for sure.

| Adam and Erin 💖 |
Enjoyed each other's company for a while and then it was time to head to bed. I knew they were going to be up early on Sunday morning to get an early start heading to Craters of the Moon for their next stop.
After pancakes and bacon they were ready to go. They actually got out of here just a little after 0800. I heard last night they made it to their destination for the night.

| Adam and Erin = Happiness! |
 |
| Getting ready to head out! |
After they left, Ken and I headed out to Silver Springs to get the truck and toy hauler. Our friends were already gone, headed back to the Auburn, CA area. Can't say as I blame them as it was HOT! Aaron never knew we were gone LOL.
Later in the afternoon we were treated to lots of lightning and thunder into the evening. Rain in buckets poured down. Doesn't happen too ofter out here, so we enjoy it when we get it. The only downside, we lost power a few times with the longest probably being 1/2 hour. It was noticeable though as it was still very hot!
Luckily I had Aaron's dinner all done, so he was able to enjoy his chicken fried pork chops, mashed potatoes and green beans. He was happy. Ken and I ate later.
This morning we were up about 0530 and visited with our blogging friends. Later in the morning I made some coffee treats for Ken and me. Everything muffins (except sugar) for Ken and my peanut butter flourless muffins. Now we get a nice snack with our coffees.
After that I went ahead and cooked the chicken that will go with the rest of dinner. That way I'm not heating the kitchen when temps are close to 100. A quick run to Raley's of course and then that's it. Too hot and muggy to be outside. We're hearing thunder outside and a few sprinkles. We'll see what happens. Not much LOL! I tried to post this last night but Blogger wasn't cooperating.
Stole a few pictures from FB of Jacob and Russell out on a fishing boat in Alabama. Looks like a great time was had by the both of them! Jacob and Allissa headed home to CA yesterday. We will see them later this week for sure!

Have a wonderful Tuesday!
Between Races, ATV Riding and Fishing it looks like everyone was having fun. Happy your power wasn't out too long.
ReplyDeleteBe Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
It was a great time for sure! We're hearing of rolling blackouts, hopefully doesn't happen.
DeleteLooks like you all had a great time! The 11th picture looks like the wind from the ATV is blowing the shelter over! haha
ReplyDeleteCute pictures of everyone
Must be a treat to get the rain and storms. ;)
It was a great time! Haha. yep a few people see the same thing! It's awesome to get the storms.
ReplyDeleteHow fun was that race!!! A little dusty, cough cough, but I'd do it in a heartbeat!! Looks like a good time. As to the teachers, why don't they just wear masks? My friend had to hire someone to teach her son on-line because she has to work. He was okay with it for the first ten minutes. From then on he paid no attention whatsoever, sliding down under the table and playing. I'm sure that's happening everywhere. It's a shame teachers don't care about the kids any more. Arizona's schools are now open except in Phoenix where the teachers refused to show up. Ridiculous!!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to make it next year, it really is so much fun! Yeah schooling is ridiculous this year! I refuse to accept the "new normal"!
